the 90 , 000m 2 shop , which first opened in 1907 , is europe’s largest department store but its current model is becoming obsolete with the age of internet shopping .
we’re so much more than another department store on the high street . we’re proud of our heritage , and excited by our future . and we do things a little differently too .
store manager , malcolm kingswell , who has worked at the store for six years , said :
our cosmetics department is one of the most successful of all the debenhams stores nationwide , so we really wanted to give our loyal customers the very best cosmetics offer possible .

“my great aunt , annie raymond was a milliner and worked in howells , she appeared on the 1901 census . annie had been apprenticed at porth and at the end of her apprenticeship , her mother who knew james howell personally , asked if her daughter could have a position at his store . ”

howells shares his expert insights on the challenge retailers face to get the right balance between customer experience and customer convenience from beginning to end of the shopping journey . what’s more , retailers need to also get the balance right between technology and operations to fulfill high customer expectations and create a convenient and great experience that helps drive the business forward . check out the telegraph’s full interview with steve howells , or view just the video by clicking on the image below .
thousands of customers are expected at john lewis after it opens the doors of its biggest store outside london .
many of the early department stores , such as john lewis and whiteleys in london , were founded by drapers , cloth merchants who understood the tastes and buying power of the rising new generation of middle class women that , from the second half of the 19th century , would spur the department store to opulent heights across europe and the united states .
it is no coincidence that , from the mid 19th century , the department store adopted the look and feel of the way we have known it for more than 150 years with the opening , by queen victoria and prince albert , of the great exhibition in 1851 . this was held in the crystal palace , a truly revolutionary structure , designed by joseph paxton and located in hyde park , not far from harrods , which , from 1905 , became europe’s biggest department store .
department stores proved so appealing that they blossomed at most unlikely junctures in 20th century history . gum ( state department store ) , red square , moscow dates from 1921 . for lenin , it was a showcase of “socialist consumerism” , which was , to say the least , a misnomer . the spectacular looking shop sold what soviet factories chose to send . being a communist country , the customer was always ‘left’ rather than right . even more surprising has been the rise of intense consumerism in the people’s republic of china , where vast , hyper - bling shopping malls now threaten the very idea of the department store .
oma’s scheme for the store breaks it up into four quadrants each with different architectural qualities and targeted at a different audience .
intriguingly , internet - savvy customers in britain still enjoy shopping in the fabric departments of john lewis department stores much as their predecessors did 150 years ago . think crystal palace 1851 with 21st century marketing and communications technology and you can see just why the department store remains hard to beat , an endearing and enduring cultural and retail fixture on our busiest city streets and squares .
thanks for the comment – it’s great to hear memories of other department stores and how many families had close links to these shops .
the threat of the shopping mall coincided with a global acceptance of the internet , personal computers and smart phones – the rise of online shopping . against the odds the department store has survived . people may choose to buy online , yet they also like to see what’s on offer in person . department stores present a good snapshot of current trends in fashion , design , household goods and gadgets . as a result , forward - looking department stores have re - imagined themselves as retail theatres updating gordon selfridge’s vision of a century ago .
cardiff council leader rodney berman said the store would attract more shoppers to the capital , boosting its growing reputation as a shopping destination .
and , yet , the first truly popular cultural exposé of the department store had been émile zola’s au bonheur des dames ( the ladies’ paradise ) , a novel of 1883 concerned with its exploitative and incestuous side , rarely seen by customers charmed by its ever evolving delights .
established by james howell in 1856 , howell ' s department store is one of the largest stores in wales , starting off as a small shop and gradually absorbing all smaller shops on wharton street as it grew ! the family business was bought by house of fraser in 1972 , and though the store was formally branded as such in 2010 , the old howell ' s frontage remains , being a listed structure .
from victorian london to soviet - era moscow , department stores have changed the way we shop and have shaped global culture . jonathan glancey investigates .
james howell ' s children continued the expansion of the store , with a grocery and provisions department and a motor showroom being added by 1913 . whislt the 1914 - 1918 world war put a stop to planned developments , the store ' s profits increased steadily . in november 1920 , the company went public with a share capital of gbp500 , 000 . thomas francis howell remained chairman and john hugh howell and william frederick howell became directors .
selfridge had done well with marshall field’s . he liked to say , “the customer is always right , ” which made the chicago store popular . and he reputedly invented the catchphrase “only [ so many ] shopping days until christmas” . when he visited london on holiday in 1906 he was surprised to find most of the city’s department stores – harrods had only recently completed its retail palace in knightsbridge – lacked the panache and drama of their american and parisian rivals . this led selfridge to leave the us and establish a singularly magnificent department store , bearing his name , at the west end of london’s oxford street .
step inside the telegraph’s hip london studios to catch business reporter’s new retail campaign hosted by the telegraph online . the series kicks off with presenter alastair greener talking to tyco’s own steve howells , director for retail ( uk & ireland ) , about how customers today are challenging retailers to a greater degree and how to turn it into a valuable opportunity .
from that first volume , i present what seems to have been been london’s first department store , called harding , howell & co . in 1809 . the text indicates that the firm was founded by “messrs . dyde and scribe” twenty - five years previously . naturally , i had to look them up—and wandered into a shoplifting case ,
“she then left seccombes to work in a large department store in london . later she returned to cardiff where she married francis william hall , a widower , in 1915 at st john’s church , cardiff . ‘frank’ hall was a photographer and later a fine art dealer ; he had a shop in one of the arcades in cardiff . ”
at that time cardiff’s stores vied for business in the hustle and bustle of the town , with the number of shops growing rapidly due to the demand for imported goods . james howell’s department store was expanded regularly , but not only for business purposes . building plans for james howell , held at the glamorgan archives , show that the upper levels of the store were never intended to be used as a shop floor , as small rooms with fireplaces were clearly marked on the plans submitted to cardiff borough council .

while there are rival contenders , the title of the world’s first department store belongs , perhaps , to harding , howell & co’s grand fashionable magazine at 89 pall mall in st james’s , london . opened in 1796 , this handsome georgian shop was divided into four departments , offering furs and fans , haberdashery , jewellery and clocks , and millinery , or hats .
on the death of james howell in 1909 , the ownership of the store passed to his eleven children , with the company becoming a private limited company , james howell & co ltd .
annie and francis had two children . after their births annie returned to work at marments , another department store in cardiff , where she became the millinery buyer , purchasing hats from the large milliners in london . francis hall also had three children by his first wife , the youngest of which was alfred h hall . alfred married annie raymond’s sister dora , who also worked at seccombes .
the new 280 , 000 sq ft ( 26 , 000 sq m ) four - storey john lewis store , which opened for the first time at 0930 bst , will employ almost 800 people .
the interior of the store is seen in rose ; the exterior appears in a number of stories - see st mary ' s street , wharton street and hayes island for photos of the exterior .
late 20th century modifications , accelerating global economic shifts and the challenges brought by the digital revolution have turned kadewe’s current set up into an obsolete model . there is now a need to investigate an alternative to the established retail model - a model able to redefine the relationship of the department store both with its patrons and with its physical and urban environments . our proposal for the transformation of kadewe is tactical .
lindy woodhead’s biography shopping , seduction & mr selfridge was published in 2007 . six years later , mr selfridge , a british tv drama based on woodhead’s book , was first broadcast on both sides of the atlantic . a second and third series have followed , with viewers from afghanistan to sweden following the operatic life and times of harry gordon selfridge . no wonder . the story of the wisconsin - born retailer who left school at 14 , rose to become a partner in marshall field’s , chicago – founded in 1852 , it was one of the first and most ambitious us department stores – and then re - created the department store for the 20th century in london , has it all : the highs , the lows , glamour , scandal , commercial and public acclaim and the ultimate crash landing not of the store that bears his name , but of a once stellar career .
the store’s original vaulted rooftop restaurant will be replaced by a new glazed addition and an external courtyard which provides views out over berlin . this new rooftop level will be connected to the street by a pair of escalators .
debenhams in st david ' s shopping centre re - launched earlier this month with 40 new jobs and a 24 , 000 sq ft ( 2 , 200 sq m ) of floor space , extending the beauty department , .
not that the nazis could stop the spread of architectural ideas spawned in germany . in 1935 the new peter jones department store , owned by the john lewis partnership , opened on london’s sloane square . designed by william crabtree , it owed much to mendelsohn . although ultra - modern , it won favour with the public both for its bright , airy interior , but also for the well - mannered way its steel and glass curtain wall curved gently with the flow of sloane street .
i know there is huge expectation from people , not just in cardiff but the whole south wales region , in the opening of this store and it is going to prove to be another major attraction for the city of cardiff .
jayne thomas , a preservation assistant at glamorgan archives , worked for many years as a window dresser at james howell’s . jayne remembers the small rooms with fireplaces in the attics of the shop where the staff lived ; these later became the store rooms .

between 1901 and 1911 annie left james howell’s and went to work in the milliners and drapers store seccombes . in the 1911census returns she was living at 7 fitzalan road , cardiff , which was recorded in the western mail directory of the time as an ‘assistants’ residence’ for g . arthur seccombes .

since its opening in 1907 , kadewe has always been at the forefront of products’ selections while also setting new standards for patron services . its unique size – the biggest department store in continental europe – makes it akin to a city : a three dimensional network of paths , squares , neighbourhoods , activities and views unfolding through its large extensions and providing opportunities for commercial social and cultural encounters . its evolution reflects germany’s modern history : from its origins in the early 20th century , through wwii destructions and the subsequent rebirth in the 1950’s when it became a symbol of the country’s post war reconstruction and economic success .
harding , howell & co was focussed on the needs and desires of fashionable women . here , at last women were free to browse and shop , safely and decorously , away from home and from the company of men . these , for the main part , were newly affluent middle class women , their good fortune – and the department store itself – nurtured and shaped by the industrial revolution . this was transforming life in london and the length and breadth of britain at a dizzying pace on the back of energetic free trade , fecund invention , steam and sail , and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of expendable cheap labour .
rather than treating the existing building as a singular mass , the project aims to break it into four quadrants , each one with different architectural and commercial qualities , targeted at different audiences : classic , experimental , young , generic , etc… ; four department stores under one single roof , fragmenting the original mass into smaller , easily accessible and navigable components – similar to distinct urban sectors embedded into a unifying city fabric .
in 1924 , the wharton street arcade was opened , linking the wharton street premises with the main store and , in 1931 , a new four storey building was opened on the corner of wharton street and st mary street . during the years of depression and war in the 1930s and 1940s , trade was slow due to price regulations and rationing . the 1950s saw both an improvement in trade and the introduction of a new management team with alfred thorpe as chairman and managing director .
my ex husband’s family had a well known drapers in bridgend from the 1860s to the 1960s – stuchberys . reading about howells reminds me so much of that . when the shop finally closed we found dozens of singer sewing machines in the basement and boxes of old lace , embroidered buttons etc etc . the milliners were on the top floor which also had little fire places i seem to recall . the money whizzed around the shop in a metal canister to where my ex’s granddad in his 80s , sat in the accounts office surveying his empire . when i began doing my own family history research about 15 years ago i found out that my great gran had been apprenticed there as a seamstress , useful when she was widowed at 24 ! she ended up sewing at the cottage homes in bridgend but died herself at 30 . i cherish the bits and pieces of memorabilia which i have from stuchberys and my younger son is robin stuchbery turner . he handles press for rock bands working with the manic street preachers , super furry animals and others .
not only did the crystal palace feature 300 , 000 panes of plate glass – a recent invention – but it was also an enormous showcase of consumer goods from around the world . millions of people came here to window shop , gawping at marvels of contemporary design and technology that opened their eyes to what the new industrial world could offer . ever since , even when clad in marble , stone , brick or terracotta , department stores – shopping malls , too – have had something of paxton’s crystal palace about them .

erich mendelsohn , one of the most inventive of early modern movement architects , met the brothers simon and salman schocken , successful german retailers , in 1924 . the result was the design of some of the most innovative of all department stores and three of the most exciting and influential european buildings of the weimar era . where le bon marché and la samaritaine in paris proffered art nouveau and art deco charms and the americans and the british served lavish helpings of beaux arts classicism and edwardian baroque , kaufhaus schocken went shockingly modern . the powerfully sculpted stores mendelsohn designed in nuremberg ( 1926 ) , stuttgart ( 1928 ) and chemnitz ( 1930 ) proved that retailers could lead architectural innovation rather than follow pseudo - historic styles .

the initial design was by daniel burnham , a big - spirited american architect who had worked for marshall field’s and , significantly , had designed much of the 1893 chicago world’s fair , a successor to london’s great exhibition of 1851 . one of burnham’s assistants in london was thomas tait , one of whose major works was the extension to the british museum of 1905 . in oxford street , selfridge’s design team shaped an ambitious beaux arts classical palace – or indeed museum – of a building , its noble ionic facade rising above a wall of plate glass windows .
opened in 1909 , selfridges offered bedazzled customers a hundred departments along with restaurants , a roof garden , reading and writing rooms , reception areas for foreign visitors , a first aid room and , most importantly , a small army of knowledgeable floor - walking assistants who served as guides to this retail treasure trove as well as being thoroughly instructed in the art of making a sale .
with their brilliant use of electric lighting – something mendelsohn had learned from the look of american city streets at night – bold architectural graphics and photogenic forms , the schocken stores were admired by a new generation of european architects and castigated by the nazis , who came to power in 1933 . mendelsohn left for the uk that year . salman shocken ( simon had been killed in a car accident in 1929 ) lost his business to the nazis and emigrated to palestine the following year . there , he commissioned mendelsohn to design the schocken library , a fitting home to the only major collection of jewish books to have escaped nazi germany .

the 1911 census , taken on sunday 2 april , provides us with further information as it shows that 140 men and women , married and single , from near and far were ‘living over the shop’ at howell’s on that night . draper’s salesmen and women , milliners , dressmakers , apprentices , housekeepers and servants all lived together in the space over the bustling business and the large departments which were filled with luxury items to furnish the homes and bellies of the ever growing population of cardiff .
a member of the public has been in contact with the archives regarding her great aunt who had worked for james howell , and was included in the list of staff living there at the time of the 1901 census . annie raymond had been born in penygraig , merthyr tydfil in 1881 .
the thought of living over a shop today conjures up visions of side doors , narrow stairs , cat raided dustbins and the odour of countless take - aways ; however 100 years ago in cardiff things were different… . in 1911 , in some cases ‘living over the shop’ was a world away from this .

each quadrant addresses a different street entrance and is organized around its core void acting both as a main central atrium and a primary vertical distribution space . through a process closer to the one of curating rather than designing , each void is developed specifically to offer four kinds of distinct spatial experiences and four efficient models of organization . throughout the nine levels of the building the voids transform in size and extension , avoiding any repetition and making every floor unique : they disappear on the ground floor , morph through the commercial areas , and - in one case only - reach the new rooftop .

so what would such a room be used for ? obviously not dairy cows because they couldn ' t get in or out . elsewhere it ' s reported that the dairy farm also kept pigs and poultry , but these buildings don ' t seem suitable for either . can anyone tell me their function ?

milk from different breeds of cows and places have different tastes because they are probably fed differently . kowloon dairy milk also doesn ' t have additives or hormones added to it , which is probably why it tastes like water compared to other brands . i live in ca and i know that genuine full cream milk taste you are talking about .

great article . dairy used to be part of my staple diet [ e . g . milk with cereal / coffee / tea , yoghurt , cheeses with pasta / wine . . etc ] but for the last ten years , i have reduced my intake by 90 % + . i needed to be quite careful but , personally , it has done wonders for my skin . also , the reduction in dairy intake has helped with my hay - fever allergy . the only reason i still have dairy is i like it as a treat plus i benefit from the calcium it provides . the fewer dairy products we include in our diet the better all round – me thinks 😉
the seattle - based coffee shop chain last week said it voluntarily pulled milk supplied by mengniu dairy , one of the companies whose product has tested positive for melamine contamination .
pura is good , but the price has jacked up in the last few months . . . now i drink some new stuff i have been seeing . . greenway farms or something ? it ' s from singapore , is pure homogenized milk ( also available in semi - skimmed and skimmed ) and is cheaper than even the local brands like dairy farm , kowloon dairy , and trappist . in any case read the label carefully . many of them are nothing more than powdered milk mixed with water , and with that comes the risk of tainted china crap .
1979 dairy farm signs an agreement to obtain 18 tonnes of daily milk supplies from the kwangming farm in shenzhen . it acquires franklins’ chain of 75 “no frills” stores in australia .
green rating light green . dairy is very environmentally unfriendly , putting milk in a re - usable glass bottle as opposed to disposable paper carton may make it slightly less so .
the area around present - day lok fu was settled by southern song loyalists in the 13th century . imperial authorities built a military and administrative outpost on the site of what would eventually become the kowloon walled city . the area remained rural even as the expansion of urban kowloon touched on its fringes in the 1920s . but things changed in the 1930s , when refugees from china began to build shanty homes on thesurrounding hills .
after 77 years , it is good to know , some things have not changed at all . we at kowloon dairy continue to freshly make all of our great - tasting products , to exacting international standards , right here at home in hong kong . we would like to think it is possibly the freshest milk you could get anywhere in the world , unless you are living on the farm !

in 1958 i was on a bus travelling from shek o . on the lower slopes of the dragon ' s back on the east side of the shek o road the barren hill side had been planted with thousands of clumps of grass . i asked why this was being done and was told that the dairy farm was experimenting with growing additional grass there for its dairy herd . i wonder whether that was true and , if so , how long did the experient last ? i have a vague memory that a sign near the road had ' dairy farm ' on it but i could be wrong ! andrew

the cup lids are sealed and cut outside the sterile zone because the pre - sealing of the two films ensures that the inside of the cup , and therefore the product , is completely isolated from the external environment . since the new generation of packaging lines are all designed with 3d software tools – windows - based touch - screen panel , control systems connected through fieldbus ( profibus standard ) – the possibility of easy diagnostics and even remote assistance appealed to kowloon dairy .
in 1972 , we moved our farming operations to yuen long and our milk production plant to a purpose - built state - of - the - industry facility in tuen mun where , using the latest in food technology , we continue to produce our famously rich and nutritious milks , and ice creams , to this day . as for our dairy farming operations , with kowloon rapidly urbanizing , in 1984 we moved these up to guangzhou , where quality control is stringent and absolute .
1976 the company buys 51 percent of manning dispensary ltd , a chain of three pharmacies run by a hong kong medical practice . central depot reverts to the crown , ending its 72 - year association with dairy farm .

in our earliest entrepreneurial days , with a handful of employees , we served quite a small area in north kowloon . together with mr . george ahwee and mr . rudy choy , mr . li lan sang invested more capital to grow the business and “limited” was added to our name .
kowloon dairy chose the miniasepack / 20 - b for its mini - portion coffee creamer pack because it is a fully aseptic packaging line for fresh and uht cream and liquid products . the machine comes with two different cutting units , one for singles conveyed on the side of the machine and packed at random and another for multi - packs with outlet in the front . this allows the automatic pre - selection of cutting configuration without adjustment or disassembling of the cutting unit . change - overs are thus simplified and down time is minimised .
the tainted milk saga started on august 21 , when the centre said a sample of trappist dairy fresh milk ( 236 ml ) with a use - by date of august 22 collected for routine testing recorded a total bacterial count of 260 million per millilitre .
uphill , through a tiny wet market and the past the old dairy farm staff quarters , a villager has transformed the footpath in front of a waterfall into a seating area lined by bougainvillea and fire dragon sculptures . colourful graffiti point the way to village landmarks .

the company has had a long and reasonably complicated history both in hong kong and elsewhere involving acquiring other firms and being bought itself . i thought it would be useful to show a timeline which is largely based on dairy farm’s own timeline with added information from other sources .

shaded by towering candlenut trees , the cafe’s spacious terrace is a good place to watch the world go by . the 286 - year - old hau wong temple across the street isone of the few local shrines dedicated to yeung leung - jit , the general who protected the last southern song emperor when he took refuge in kowloon .
the cfs earlier received notification from the centre for health protection about two cases of people feeling sick after consuming milk products produced by trappist dairy limited and several complaints from the public . samples of the milk products concerned were then collected from the complainants and relevant retail outlets for testing .
the centre for food safety said a test result for a sample of trappist dairy carrot low fat milk ( 236ml ) with a use - by date of august 29 , 2015 collected from a circle k convenience store on soy street , mong kok , showed that the total bacterial count was 130 million per millilitre .
2001 dairy farm completes the sale of franklins and its hong kong - based wholesaling business , sims trading . it acquires the remaining 10 percent of giant malaysia . its 65 percent - held jv , guangdong sai yi convenience stores ltd , becomes the first convenience store jv to obtain approval from the central government to operate in southern china .
2006 dairy farm’s 120th anniversary . it marks the milestone by sponsoring the conversion of two of the original octagonal cowsheds in the old pokfulam farm into a performance area and cinema space , named the wellcome theatre , by the hong kong academy for performing arts . the facility contains a 150 - seat auditorium and an adjacent foyer / exhibition area .
switching to organic soya milk or buying dairy milk in a glass bottle may seem small and inconsequential compared to the challenge of climate change , but it is the sum of the decisions we make collectively on a daily basis that will ultimately determine fate of our planet . politicians and business leaders follow our lead as citizens and consumers , not vice versa .
a few hundred metres away lies the site of the kowloon walled city , which once towered above carpenter road . to the north stand the housing blocks and shopping mall of lok fu estate , and to the west is “checkerboard hill” ( named after the orange and white squares painted on the hillside ) , which pilots used as a visual reference when making their final approach to runway 13 before landing at kai tak airport .
in its day the dairy farm at pokfulam occupied the hillsides above pokfulam village , between pokfulam road and victoria road , and below victoria road where bel air ( not ) on the peak now stands . i recently had a look around the part of the site between pokfulam road and victoria road and was surprised to find how much of the farm still remains .
this hair - raising landing path is the reason why kowloon city had no high - rises until after kai tak was decommissioned in 1998 . in fact , the airport’s expansion in the late 1950s required the demolition of three newly built skyscrapers housing hsbc staff , which were located southwest of checkerboard hill . by contrast , lok fu estate was located just beyond the flight path , and so its housing blocks soared without peer for nearly three decades .
hong kong at the time was a place of enormous inequality – even more so than today . in the 1970s , writer xu xi was living on broadcast drive , an upper middle - class area just up the hill from lok fu . in her story the yellow line , which was broadcast on the bbc in 1980 , a young man living in the public housing estate takes the newly opened mtr one stop from lok fu to kowloon tong .
1990 dairy farm obtains a dual primary share listing on the london stock exchange , soon followed by secondary listings in australia and singapore . its primary listing in hong kong was later converted to a secondary listing , and was subsquently withdrawn in 1995 . it acquires the 108 - store simago supermarket chain in spain and the 61 - store supermarket chain , woolworths , in new zealand .
1967 - 1970 the company begins its overseas expansion . it takes stakes in various australian companies . it opens an aircraft catering kitchen in guam , buys the simarloo fruit and nut farm , and a beef ranch in australia , and expands its catering services to mining camps in australia and indonesia . it enters the wholesaling sector and extends its range of dairy products and frozen foods on sale .
what united residents of lok fu , rich and poor , was the incessant noise of planes landing at kai tak . “you could always hear aircraft , ” says xu xi . less than 10 minutes’ walk from lok fu mtr is the faded remnant of checkerboard hill , which indicated when pilots had to execute a “totally bonkers” 47 - degree right turn at a height of less than 300 metres and skim over densely packed kowloon city tenement buildings before making a landing on the notoriously windy runway .
i was interested to read about the storage facility probably being for elephant grass and i have just looked it up on google . the picture of the east asian elephant grass exactly matches how i remember seeing the large tussocks of grass planted out on the otherwise rather barren western slope above the shek o road in 1958 . as i previously suggested i have a recollection that a sign indicated that it was a dairy farm experimental plot .
1995 four wellsave supermarkets are established in japan through a 60 percent - owned jv ( closed in 1997 ) . five jv wellcome gintian supermarkets are opened in shenzhen ( and closed in 1999 ) . dairy farm signs a technical assistance agreement with rpg spencers , which operates eight foodworld supermarkets , in india . in indonesia , it forges a technical assistance agreement with mitra , a chain of discount stores owned by the pt hero group . <
2005 the company increases its attributable interest in pt hero in indonesia to 69 percent following two tender offers and the purchase of a minority shareholding . in india , it introduces new jv partners in foodworld and health and glow . it enters the thai market with the opening of its first guardian stores . 7 - eleven and mannings enter the macau market in the same year . dairy farm posts an underlying net profit of us $ 190 million .
that’s one of the reasons the future of the village is uncertain . in the 1980s , dairy farm became a multinational business and today runs thousands of supermarkets and convenience stores around asia ; it also shut down its pok fu lam operations . it still isn’t clear what will be done with the former staff quarters that now stand empty . after decades of official neglect , the village lacks basic infrastructure ; it still doesn’t have a sewerage system .
there ' s a map of the dairy farm on the industrial history of hong kong site ( urltoken ) . strangely it doesn ' t show any of the three ruins that remain on the site today . however , the key to the map lists the types of buildings that were present , and of those listed , fodder stores seem the best bet now that the possibilities of use by cows , pigs , poultry and humans have been dismissed .
dairy farm international holdings ltd is an asian retail company with its legal base in bermuda . a member of the jardine matheson group it is a major pan - asian retailer involved in the processing and wholesaling of food and personal hygiene products in the pacific region including china . jardine strategic , a publicly listed holding company , has an attributable 78 % stake in the firm . it is listed on the london stock exchange with secondary listings on the singapore and bermudastock exchanges .
benco pack , a part of the sacmi imola group , manufactures ffs machines and systems . benco’s miniasepack / 20 - b ffs machine produces 10ml and 15ml mini - portions of coffee creamers at the rate of 18 , 000 to 100 , 000 cups per hour . kowloon invested in benco pak’s aseptic equipment with a sterile system that allows the total sterilisation of the packaging materials in hydrogen peroxide ( h2o2 ) baths at a concentration of 35 % . hydrogen peroxide has the advantage of being a powerful disinfectant that decomposes to oxygen and water and so leaves no residue on the single portion cartons being sterilised that could taint the milk or cream . peroxide radicals are the medium of disinfection .
the best thing we can probably do to reduce our carbon footprint in this respect is to replace cow’s milk with organic soya , oat , rice or almond milk , although there aren’t any conclusive evaluations to back this up yet . when you take into account the impact of cattle feed – a liter of dairy milk may use more soya in production than a liter of soya milk . having said that , as the guardian points out , non - organic soya has its own problems with vast tracks of rainforest cleared to grow soya as a monoculture crop , tons of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides applied , and processing that often uses hexane , a neurotoxin petrochemical solvent .
they don ' t mean anything except the brand . the key words to look for and avoid on the packaging are
milk drink
. if the word drink is there then it has had something done or added to it which means that what you are getting is not simply pasteurised milk . semi - skimmed is quite hard to find here . basically nearly all the local milk is full fat ( some friends who claim to have done a survey say that trappist dairy is the best / creamiest tasting full fat ) . you can also buy master pura milk from australia ( which generally comes in litres - the local stuff is in half pints , pints and litres ) which is royal blue for full fat and light blue for non - fat .

i buy uht milk - it mostly seems to come from australia . it just contains milk . have you looked at trappist milk ? i think it ' s all milk ( the cows are in guangdong now , i think ) .
if you buy full cream milk , it will be just milk . if you buy skim or semi - skimmed milk ( or any other varieties that is not full cream milk ) , i think they need to add additional process to the milk and that ' s why they call it a milk drink . i think this applies to all brands because of the labelling requirement .
i think the same as query - even when i bought aussie ( pura ) low fat milk it was called milk drink - i can ' t remember if that is the case in australia . if you want you could water down full fat fresh milk that is the same as low fat i would imagine .
hey there . . . . i ' ve just got back from oz and thought it might interest you to know that my mother in law was telling me all about recent uproar in oz with respect to additives in milk . only full fat milk seems to be what it says it is - milk - but even some of the full fat milk had extra
stuff
. there has been somewhat of a backlash about it in oz with everyone now searching for the few brands that are truely just milk .
interesting . i love drinking milk but i ' ve found that the local milk tastes a little strange . but since i ' ve found organic milk in city super , that ' s the only milk that i drink . i don ' t even drink the aussie milk now .
you could just buy full fat milk and add some water to it at home to make it like skimmed milk . . . i know it might not taste exactly the same as skimmed milk . . . but i do that at home and it isn ' t that bad .
