Why supersize where “mini” is better? It makes sense for health, well-being, and longevity—and is cheaper
By HK Lawyer AJ Halkes Barrister-at-Law
In Hong Kong, it’s become common to ask for “less rice” with our meals, we recognise not everyone needs oversized portions or excessive calories. Larger portions may offer “value,” but they’re not always right for everyone; and eating light, more frequently is the smart choice for many if not everyone.
Unlike in places where bigger seems to be seen as better, it’s refreshing to see Hong Kong launching sensible “mini” meal options.
Why overeat when you can have what your body needs?
Offering smaller portions at a lower prices is a no-brainer; we should even let adults order from the children’s menu if they want a smaller meal; yet it is a practical solution to reduce overconsumption that many restaurants resist.
Congratulations to Maxims for promoting thoughtful eating, portion control and giving customers the flexibility to choose the right amount for them; their “mini” meal at CANTEEN is plenty for anyone to my mind.
