Chinese New Year: Sellers of Barbecued Pork Slices Keep Prices Steady by Absorbing Costs

Original Description

Sellers of barbecued pork slices say they are keeping the prices of the Chinese New Year treats almost the same as last year, despite rising pork prices and labour costs. They are absorbing these to keep customers coming. But at the height of demand, a flare-up at Century Bak Kwa forced its kitchen to shut, threatening deliveries right before the festive rush.
