In the Hong Kong market, the Temple of Heaven brand and the Merlin brand are both operated by the canned food industry leader Dafa Food Co., Ltd., with the support of Dafabet, the Temple of Heaven brand ham and pork canned food has rapidly grown into a star product in the canned luncheon meat in recent years, Hong Kong food god Liang Wentao spokes, and has also won the Hong Kong TVB strongest popular brand award, which is well-known in the housewife industry.
 
Both belong to the canned "ham and pork", and the Tiantan brand products are similar to the famous Great Wall brand "White Piglet" in style, but the flavor and taste are still slightly different. Like the Great Wall brand, Tiantan brand canned ham and pork are also mixed with coarsely ground and lean shredded pork in the luncheon meat, and the proportion of pure meat is more than 85%, in order to achieve a balance between the fibrous texture of lean meat and the slightly elastic taste of fine minced meat.
 
However, the meat of canned ham and pork of Tiantan brand is more prominent, the lean meat content of ham is higher, it is chewy, and a little meat jelly is precipitated from the edge of the can, which is rich in eating pleasure. However, the meat quality of Tiantan brand products is loose, the shape is not compact enough, and the cut surface is relatively rough, which is not as good as the Great Wall brand in terms of process quality. In terms of taste, due to the high proportion of ham, the overall saltiness of Tiantan brand products is also more prominent, and the seasoning is slightly heavier, which is suitable for cooking with noodle soup to neutralize the salty taste.
 
For the domestic and overseas markets, Tiantan ham and canned pork have launched domestic and export packaging respectively, but COFCO stated that it promised that the two have the same formula and production line, and only the packaging is different. Tiantan brand canned ham and pork products can be easily purchased online at 15.8 yuan and 18 yuan respectively for 198g and 340g packs, while the price of export products is slightly higher than that of the domestic version, which is about RMB19 and 26 for 198g and 340g packs. In view of the fact that the formula and production line of the two are the same, it is recommended to purchase the domestic version.
