With a career spanning almost five decades, chef Hugo Leung Man-to, popularly known as To To, is a celebrity chef who has operated Tai Wing Wah Restaurant in Hong Kong\u2019s Yuen Long area since 1975.<\/p>\n

The restaurant specialises in \u201cwalled village cuisine\u201d \u2013 a rustic, communal style of Hakka<\/span> and indigenous Cantonese cooking defined by hearty, meat-heavy comfort foods native to Hong Kong\u2019s New Territories. On August 3, it will be recognised by the record-certification platform Asia Records as the walled village cuisine restaurant most consecutively recognised by the Michelin Guide.<\/div>\n

Leung is also known for his TVB show Gourmet Secret Agent<\/em>, from which he gained the moniker \u201cGourmet God\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did that show because the executives at TVB came to my restaurant, liked my food and asked if I wanted to be in a show,\u201d he recalls. \u201cI decided I wanted to donate the proceeds to charity, so I took part.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leung played a big part in the production of the show, which featured hidden-gem restaurants in the second- and third-tier cities of China, and helped the team gain access to farms showcasing unique ingredients.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of these restaurants and suppliers took part in the show because of me,\u201d Leung explains. \u201cI owed so many personal favours to friends and suppliers after the show, as many of them agreed to be featured because of my relationship with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
