Yang Ming Shifts to Malaysia to Sell Cantonese Roast, Jokes About Not Making It in Hong Kong

Published at Jul 14, 2026 04:46 pm
45-year-old Hong Kong artiste Yang Ming has been actively seeking breakthroughs in his career in recent years. Recently, a Malaysian internet celebrity released a video revealing that Yang Ming has quietly entered the Malaysian market, making a hefty investment to open an authentic Hong Kong-style roast restaurant.

In the video, the influencer asked pointedly, “Can’t you make it at TVB anymore? Why come to Malaysia to open a restaurant?” Facing such a sharp question, Yang Ming showcased his high EQ, generously joking, “It’s because I couldn’t make it at Hong Kong TVB that I decided to come here for a new venture.” He openly admitted that opening a roast shop has always been his dream. For this, he specially hired a Hong Kong chef to manage the kitchen, focusing on Hong Kong-style char siu and his original creation, “pepper roast duck.”

Back in 2018, Yang Ming partnered with friends to open a soup shop, and at its peak, there were several branches. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic and rental pressures in 2022, all locations quietly closed. This time, venturing alone to Malaysia clearly shows his resilient and persistent entrepreneurial spirit.

In his showbiz career, as a contract artist with TVB, Yang Ming was once highly favored, but fell to rock bottom after being jailed in a 2020 drunk driving case. In recent years, he has finally returned to the screen, starring in the sitcom “Come Home Love: Happy Courier.” Besides restarting his career, his relationship of 10 years with “Dato's daughter” Joanne Chuang has also borne fruit, and they will hold a lavish wedding in Kuala Lumpur this August. This local business investment is undoubtedly paving the way for him to become a “Malaysian son-in-law.”#
