Wanchai Ferry (brand)

Wanchai Ferry is a brand of frozen dumplings and other frozen foods, primarily popular in mainland China and Hong Kong. Founded by Chong Qing, a native of Shandong province in China, the brand is named after the Wanchai Ferry pier in Hong Kong, where she initially sold her handmade dumplings in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The Wanchai Ferry brand emphasizes the traditional methods of dumpling making and uses fresh ingredients. Its products include various flavors of frozen dumplings, wontons, and other related items. The brand has expanded significantly from its humble beginnings, becoming a major player in the frozen food market.

In 1999, Wanchai Ferry was acquired by Pillsbury, which was subsequently acquired by General Mills in 2001. As a result, Wanchai Ferry is currently part of the General Mills portfolio. Despite the ownership change, the brand continues to maintain its focus on quality and taste, and remains a familiar and trusted name for consumers seeking convenient and authentic Chinese-style dumplings. The brand’s marketing often highlights the founder’s story and her dedication to producing high-quality products.
