I am\u00a0Ethan Wong,\u00a0Ah Keong (\u963f\u5f3a)\u00a0aka Chef Keong\u2019s son, youngest to be specific, I have always wonder how did all these started, his life career, his legacy. Therefore, this post was dedicated to his lifework – History of Keong Kee Restaurant (\u5f3a\u8bb0\u9762\u98df), famously known as \u5f3a\u8bb0\u5927\u6811\u5934 or \u5f3a\u8bb0\u751f\u867e\u9762\u00a0(Keong Kee Sang Har Mee)<\/p>\n
CLARIFICATION: This article was meant to briefly introduce and clarify his culinary journey in the restaurant line with the important events that had occurred through his service in the industry. This article was written based on the Chef\u2019s true-life event, with permission given to his youngest son, Ethan Wong (to some, I am known as Ah Hoe) to edit, codified, compose, compile, publish and use all the photo(s) and material(s) related to this article.<\/p>\n
One evening during a regular day, I asked my father if he still remembers the opening date of his first stall back in the 1980s. Immediately, he replied, 1982. Of what day and month?, I asked. 1982 August 6th<\/sup>, he answered. This clearly indicated that his career was all his blood and sweats. Did you took any pictures during your opening day?, again I asked. Swiftly he stood up and walk towards the drawer where we kept our old photos. \u201cNot sure if they are still here son\u201d, he said, as he took out those photo albums. Upon browsing a few of them, he recognized some of them and mumbled, \u201cshould be in here\u201d. He then slowed down and carefully browse through the album. A few moments later, he extracted a few photos from the album and showed them to me, \u201cthere you go\u201d. Full of excitement, he explains those photos with a smile on his face.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” admin_label=”Inline Ads” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ width=”100%” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”30px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px||||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.4″][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.4.4″][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.4.4″ locked=”off”]
