"Chef May Chow is best known forLittle Bao, a Chinese burger bar. But her new venture, Happy Paradise, takes even bolder steps into expanding contemporary Cantonese cooking. Dishes like sweet-sour pork chop and barbecued pork over rice give Hong Kong staples a little refresh, while others, like sourdough egg waffles with whipped bottarga, take a classic street snack to a whole new level. She does it all without taking herself too seriously—and I can’t either, with cheesy ’90s Cantopop blasting and neon signs reminiscent of a massage parlor hanging in the space." - ByJanice Leung Hayes
