Where Hong Kong Chef Yong Soo-do Eats: Mind-Blowing Japanese, Char Siu & Thai Noodles

Korean-Canadian chef Yong Soo-do oversees Liberty Group’s restaurants, including Forbidden Duck and Qi House of Sichuan. He spoke to Andrew Sun. I was lucky to grow up with a lot of food and drink in the family. My mum’s side are all chefs or restaurant owners in Korea, but they were in the countryside so they didn’t know what pizzas or hamburgers were. Right now, my favourite place is Yorucho (16/F, Circle Tower, 28 Tang Lung Street, Causeway Bay. Tel: 8401 3785). The chef, Kevin Lam, used to work with me. It’s modern Japanese with a bit of Chinese and Korean. The food is refreshing. When I went, it was mind-blowing. The ramen dishes and the nori (seaweed) taco are nice.
