A Journey Through Time

1978

The Humble Beginning

Started by a hardworking couple — Mr & Mrs Lee — with a simple stall in Pasar Payang, Kuala Terengganu. Their love for good, fresh produce is what built H&E First Choice from the ground up.

Our Evolution

Growing With Purpose

Our Mission

To bring the freshest produce from the farm straight to your kitchen — every day, without cutting corners. We care about quality the way a family does, not just as a business.

Today

2nd Generation Family Run

What started as a single stall has grown into a team of 20+ people. We built on what our parents started — better systems, same honest values. A family business that still does things the right way.
