History

Asian Home Gourmet was established in Singapore in 1982 by Kwan Lui. Although the business was acquired by Cerebos Pacific Limited in 1996, Lui retained 50% ownership and retained rights to the brand.[3] The company initially sold in local Singaporean markets before commercialising and moving its factories to Thailand.[4]

In 2012 Cerebos was sold to Suntory Holdings of Japan.[5]

In 2017 Suntory Holdings announced the sale of Asian Home Gourmet along with Australian and New Zealand food assets to KraftHeinz[6]

In April, 2011, Asian Home Gourmet was mentioned in Oprah Winfrey's O, The Oprah Magazine as a choice Asian food available in supermarkets.[7]

Asian Home Gourmet were major sponsors for the Sydney Chinese New Year Festival in 2009[8] and 2010.[9]
