Initially, the Hong-Dao Building was built for the students’ practical training in culinary skills. However, as the enrollment of students was increased, the practical training workshops in the Hong-Dao Building had become insufficient.

The building is not only luxuriously ornamented with five-star interior design but also has several professional workshops with ample equipment available, including Teppanyaki workshop, Japanese food workshop, Western cuisine workshop, Bartending workshop, Baking workshop, and Chinese pastry workshop.
