Farm Fresh Scan Pork Tastes Best Enjoy amazing Flavour and melt-in-your-mouth Tenderness!

Scan’s pork delivers tender, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness at every meal– no matter if you’re a novice cook or a skilled chef. This is because we use traditional farming techniques, and raise our pigs on small Nordic farms, to give you Pure Taste in every bite– from farm to fork. Raising animals naturally produces the highest quality, best-tasting product available– it also just feels right. Scan farmers are committed to raising their animals with  ethical practices, dependability and respect for what is right. We care about our customers and understand that you care about the food that you serve to your family, friends and guests.
How do we produce the most tender and tasty meat products?
  • Clean Nordic air and water
  • Four distinct seasons
  • Meticulous farming practices
  • We feed our livestock only locally grown flora and feed
  • 100% antibiotic-free pork– we have the healthiest pigs in the world!
Scan’s Nordic farmers have reared animals for generations, passing down old-fashioned family values, quality production and reliability.  Not only do our farmers perform their jobs well, but they also have a great sense of responsibility– their farms operate under the highest standards and best practices in the animal welfare world. This ensures the best –and tastiest– results because we control the entire chain of production by ensuring the animals have been raised humanely and eat only the best, locally raised feed. A completely natural diet of GMO-free corn mixed with locally grown rapeseed (which is the reason our pork is so high in natural Omega 3’s).  This high-quality Omega 3 fat is distributed throughout the meat, making it extremely tender, tasty and full of the mouth-watering juices that every professional chef or home cook aims to bring to the table.
This is the delicious, premium pork you and your family deserve! Find Scan’s flowerfed Pork at your favourite ParknShop Supermarket.

Is your native English speaking child ready to learn Mandarin? Read these learning tips

Learning Chinese, whilst based in Hong Kong, seems an obvious opportunity. It’s best to start your kids off early and, to get the best results, intensively. Top Schools highly specialised team of completely independent education experts can help guide your through the confusing array of Hong Kong Schools, selecting one that meets your needs, with particular expertise in bilingual schools and schools that offer a stronger Mandarin program. We customise our guidance based on your family’s preferences as well as your child’s academic, emotional and social needs.  
Read on for our top tips to motivate your child’s interest in learning Mandarin when it isn’t a home language.
The first step in helping your kids learn Mandarin is by providing fun and engaging opportunities to practice.
  1. A little exposure when they are very little. Starting as young as four months, look for ways to provide an easy, pressure-free introduction to the language. Most children love music and many playgroups offer this. Choose one where the teacher doesn’t speak English at all during the sessions and you’ll find your child singing along as soon as they are able to speak.
  2. Buy children’s books in Chinese. Consider whether you will choose books with simplified or traditional characters. Many children’s books have pinyin alongside the characters and many don’t. Try to pick books in a subject that your children would normally be interested in- if he or she loves Peppa Pig, pick out one of these. Ask a student or a friend to read to your child as often as possible.
  3. Frequent the local playgrounds. More and more Mandarin speaking families are living in Hong Kong, particularly in certain areas. You’re likely to find them and their children at a local park/playground or at the supermarket.
Bonus Tip For Parents: Use YouTube and TV sparingly, but do use it. Even if you are unable to understand, listening consistently can improve your “ear” for Mandarin and help you become accustomed to the speed and cadence of a native speaker.
