Despite having an estimated US$200 million (S$265 million) net worth, megastar Chow Yun Fat still takes public transport and dines at his favourite local no-frills eateries.
As a household name who blazed a trail through the golden age of Hong Kong cinema and Hollywood blockbusters like Pirates of the Caribbean, Chow’s prolific career has earned him what could have been a lifetime of luxury, if he chose.
So where does he like to eat in his native Hong Kong? Rest assured, most of these establishments won’t bankrupt you…Opened over 80 years ago, Yung Kee Restaurant has withstood generations and fed many mouths while Hong Kong evolved into the burgeoning metropolis it is today. He’s been snapped mingling with the pastry chefs who have worked hard to keep the bakery alive for 48 years. The shop announced it was closing last year — but in a surprise twist, a few months after that initial announcement, it shared that it will reopen this year with a new image and name.
Just a few weeks ago in January, the"A Better Tomorrow" film star visited the Italian restaurant nestled within Crowne Plaza hotel for some fine dining. Its langoustine and pasta dishes are among the menu highlights.Clearly, Chow enjoys supporting some of Hong Kong’s most long-standing gems, like Tai Ping Koon.
