I Love Australia!
Monday, June 18th, 2007Continuing with the Sydney, Australia theme, I’ve added a new link to the blogroll (appropriately under the category of “Random”): Zilver Restaurant, a new-wave Chinese fusion restaurant in Sydney’s Chinatown.
So what does this Australian restaurant have to do with Christianity & Hong Kong Entertainment? Not a whole lot except that the managing director of the Zilver Group is Chillie Poon, the runner-up at the 1996 Miss Hong Kong Pageant, a former HK actress, and now the wife of CEO Henry Tang. Ms. Poon also happens to be a Christian, who participated in Rev. Enoch Lam’s “Stand Up Sydney” evangelistic comedy show in October 2004.
See? It all comes back to Rev. Lam. And stand-up comedy.
Speaking of which, I believe it was Sanney Leung, the preeminent translator of Hong Kong Entertainment gossip throughout the late-1990s and early-2000s, who referred to Chillie and Henry’s wedding reception as the “Poon-Tang” Party.
OH SNAP!
Anyway, if you’re ever in Sydney’s Chinatown, check Zilver out and feel free to let me know how it is…
