Malaysian Son-in-law Yang Ming Opens Hong Kong-style Roasted Meat Shop in Petaling Jaya, Denies "Can't Make it in Hong Kong" Rumors, Will Start Work in Malaysia Next Month

Malaysian son-in-law and Hong Kong star Yang Ming, together with Tracy Chu Sze Man, after holding a grand wedding banquet in Kuala Lumpur on August 2, officially opened their Hong Kong-style roasted meat shop "Feng Liu Dao" in SS2, Petaling Jaya this morning. Earlier, there were rumors that Yang Ming came to Malaysia to start a restaurant because he "couldn't make a living" in Hong Kong, to which he smiled and responded: "Actually, I've always had work. It's just that after finishing filming 'Come Home Love' in the past two months, I had some free time to prepare for the wedding and the new restaurant. Next month, I'll take on some work in Malaysia, and then return to Hong Kong to shoot a new drama."

When asked about the purpose of opening a roast meat shop, Yang Ming said that roast meat has been his favorite Hong Kong cuisine since childhood, and throughout his 27 years acting at TVB, the box lunches on set have always been roasted meat rice, so seeing roast meat rice makes him happy as it represents having work. Therefore, after marriage, he will be traveling back and forth between Malaysia and Hong Kong, and whenever he wants to eat Hong Kong roast meat, he can now enjoy it at his own shop. As for the goal of opening a restaurant in Malaysia, he hopes to eventually have a branch on every street in Malaysia.

When Tracy Chu Sze Man was asked if she had tried the shop's signature dishes, she complained: "I've only gotten to eat the noodles!" Yang Ming explained that he had originally wanted to let his wife try only the absolute best, but during the trial operation over the past month, everything sold out every day, so he had no way to save any for his wife to try."

Veteran "Ah Chan" Liu Wai Hung had earlier opened "Hong Kong Roasted Master Chan" in Malaysia. Asked if he had sought advice from his senior, he laughed and said he'd like to learn from him someday. "I know his Sai To fish balls are really tasty, and I'll try them if I get the chance."

After marriage, Yang Ming and Tracy Chu do not rule out taking on couple-themed variety shows in the future. Though they're not fans of lovey-dovey moments in front of the camera, they are open to programs introducing local culture and those featuring daily life challenges as a couple.

In addition, while a number of their Hong Kong celebrity friends couldn't attend in person, they sent flower baskets. These include Sheren Tang, Kenneth Ma, Ruco Chan, Joel Chan, Sisley Choi, Natalie Tong, Owen Cheung, Lai Lok-yi, Tsao Wing Lim, as well as TVB executive Virginia Lok. The flower baskets were placed in prominent spots, making for an impressive display.
