Description

"Little Sweetness" is an award winning group project which created by 3 SHTM students, Ms Karina Ngai, Ms Yeung Yuk Fung, and Ms Lau Yin Kwan. It began with a course in a final year namely "Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Hospitality". The idea of promoting the low-GI diet came across their mind as Karina’s father was (and still is) a diabetic patient, and diabetes is one of the top deadly diseases in Hong Kong due to the Asian culinary culture with a high carbs diet , therefore, they would like to create a platform which provides diabetic-related information, explore low-GI restaurants and at last create a low-GI trend just like the Green Monday trend.
