In the sixties, again forced to move by government edict, Koon Chun then re-settled in Yuen Long, N.T. i.e. the present premises.

It is traditionally made by slowly simmering and reducing sugarcane juice until it thickens, then poured into molds to harden. The result is a hard, irregular block ranging in color from deep amber to a dark, almost black, brown. Its surface might be dusty, its shape imperfect, but within this rustic form lies a world of complex flavor and astonishing versatility that goes far beyond simply making things sweet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Flavor Profile of Depth and Character\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe first thing to understand about black sugar slab is that its value is in its impurity.
