Singapore bak kut teh restaurant owner says Chow Yun Fat saved her family business
#1

She recalled that when her father opened the family’s first bak kut teh shop, business was tough and he only sold a few bowls each day.

Chow once dined at her father’s shop and later brought director Ang Lee there for a meal. He also recommended the restaurant to friends visiting the city-state.

Chow is considered a Singaporean son-in-law as his wife, Jasmine Tan, was born there. After marrying the actor in 1987, she moved to Hong Kong and began managing her husband's career. According to Next Apple, during the 1980s and 1990s, she often negotiated contracts on Chow’s behalf and rarely let her husband be shortchanged.

Now 70 years old, the actor has taken a step back from acting, focusing more on fitness and hobbies such as photography and scuba diving. He has also studied foot reflexology, massage therapy, and first aid techniques to handle accidents that may occur during physical activity.

Read something similar once about a family-run spot that slowly became a local favourite. It reminded me of finding a small restaurant after browsing https://missmimelbourne.com.au/ — nothing flashy, just good food and a warm vibe. Felt like a place with stories behind it.

In vancouver, a barber shop used his name 润发 as shop name. Very appropriate right?
