Our multi-location brands — Morty’s, Mashi no Mashi (Wagyu Ramen), and Elephant Grounds (Lifestyle Specialty Coffee) — continue to champion craftsmanship, community, and creativity across the region.

Anchoring our portfolio is Forty-Five at Landmark, a three-story, 20,000-square-foot destination redefining the intersection of art, design, and gastronomy in the heart of Hong Kong.
