Mr Fook Yu YEUNG is the “father” of Yim Wah as much as he is the father of his family. With over 60 years’ of experience as a chef, cooking his favourite Chinese dishes, Yeung instills the essence of genuine Chinese spirit in his food.
Since arriving in UK from Hong Kong 35 years ago and had to start everything from scratch, but with his unshaken dedication and hardworking ethic despite financial and living struggle, he finally opened a takeaway shop named Yim Wah in Harefield where he first established his reputation as a local favourite.
In 1996, having moved to Cambridge, Yeung continued his success and established his Yim Wah Restaurant in Caxton with well received popularity. Unfortunately, due to a devastated fire in 2009, it had completely destroyed his life long dream. Despite all personal and financial hardship from the aftermath, Yeung and his family did not give up and have since relocated their restaurant to Cambridge City Centre where, from 2011, they have continued to serve up their authentic Cantonese cuisine.
Yeung now brings the same passion to share authentic Cantonese flavours and the same warm traditional hospitality to a more relaxed and refined environment.
