天还未亮，就被厨房的吵杂声吵醒了。那年，我五岁。
爷爷与祖母在好久以前就从广东顺德漂洋过海来到马来西亚。
“只要勤劳，不怕吃苦，是饿不死的。。。”这是爷爷时常说的。
一大清早，祖母在厨房的勤奋开始了家里每个人的一天。
爸爸投入小贩生意没有多久，后来因祖母的年纪老迈，
话说回来，那时我和弟弟还小，头都还没桌子高。

88SP MART, the story we been through
Fortress Avenue Sdn Bhd was founded in 1978 by manufacturing rice noodle rolls or known as chee cheong fun (a typical local Chinese food, made by flour and usually served with prawns and special sauce). With their own family secret recipe, Fortress Avenue managed to manufacture high quality of chee cheong fun and become a popular brand among local hawkers. Thus, it earned itself a good reputation in manufacturing chee cheong fun in Malaysia. However, Malaysia’s food culture has become much more diverse as time goes by and different food cultures from other countries also came into Malaysia rapidly in the past few years. This affected much of the original business. In 1997 and 2001 respectively, Mr. Chaang Tuck Cheong (the eldest son) and Mr. Chaang Tuck Loong (the second son) decided to inherit the business in order to save the dying company as they did not want their father’s effort gone to waste.
88SP MART, the change for better
Tuck Cheong knew that the main key feature to be successful in the food industry is to improve the workplaces’ hygienic conditions in order to produce high quality product and gain the public’s trust. The challenge became bigger when he tried to modernize the traditional food without losing its essence. Learning from failures and keep searching for new alternatives, Tuck Cheong never gave up on his career and continues his effort by cooperating with agents to promote and sell his own rice noodle rolls to gain wider popularity.
To achieve their father’s entrepreneurial philosophy and to restructure the company, Fortress Avenue Sdn Bhd also opened its convenience stores to provide procurement or bill payment services to the neighbourhood hawkers and residents. Apart from selling their own products and wholesale seasoning ingredients and raw materials needed by hawkers, these one-stop convenience stores also provide various types of cold storage and steamboat or hotpot materials at affordable prices.
88SP MART, the 1st community wholesale market
Although transportation in Kuala Lumpur is convenient, but the heavy traffic jams are still a big issue for the people. Hence, the neighbourhood community set up their own food courts and hawker centres nearby to let the residents to easily get their meals without going so far. That is also one of the reasons why Fortress Avenue Sdn Bhd sets up 88SP Mart, a neighbourhood community wholesale market to cater the grocery needs of general consumers, and also provide raw materials to the hawkers at lower prices to help them reduce operating costs. Although the store seems small, but 88SP Mart community wholesale market is able to provide over 3000 range of different cold storage and groceries for the residential area. Their one-stop service can solely be your reliable life and business partner.
Fortress Avenue Sdn Bhd believes that love, care and trust are essential to succeed in life. Therefore, the Chaang brothers are grateful for what they have in life. But they also believe that giving back to the society is what they need to do. They always gather and work together with the community to organize activities to spread love and care to old folks, orphans, single-parent families, disabled and others who are in need of help. Their goal, to spread the spirit of dedication to help those who are in need is the most meaningful and viable action they can do. And to foresee this spirit goes on for the generations to come.
