Ah Yao honed his skills under the tutelage of the legendary Hong Kong Street “tze char” master, the late Mr. Loh Mun Hon. With nearly three decades of experience running “tze char” stalls, Ah Yao’s passion for food shines through in his four Hong Kong Street Old Chun Kee restaurants. Signature dishes like the creamy Salted Egg Pork and the crispy, mouthwatering Cereal Chicken are customer favorites.

But Ah Yao’s culinary vision extends far beyond “tze char.” He’s a restaurateur at heart, leading a diverse group of establishments like “BBKIA Stingray,” “The Chef’s Place,” “Mr. Fried Rice,” “Kin Aroy Thai cuisine,” and “Geylang Serai Satay” in Singapore.

His ambition doesn’t stop at national borders. Recent years have seen Ah Yao take his culinary passion international, expanding “Mr. Fried Rice” to New York City and Manila.

Driven by a love for sharing Singapore’s rich culinary heritage, Ah Yao’s mission is to bring authentic Southeast Asian flavors to the global community. His vision is to establish a network of restaurants and stalls, spreading the joy of Southeast Asian cuisine across the world.
