Upon arrival, the engineer was unable to exercise their profession. He then used his analytical skills to create with his wife, a Chinese restaurant in the heart of this country.
Tin Jo Restaurant (“The Best” in Cantonese) opened its doors in 1972 with 12 tables.
Most of his daughters, Mary (Yin Yin was his name, but changed to be more policy) was 12 and was designated the cashier in the evenings and kitchen helper at night. He loved chicken bone and peel carrots. Hesitated to waiters, cooks racing.
