“The Last Word” - Life is too short, so work hard and play hard! :)

Bad ass barman/rock n roll moment?

I had a Chinese hot pot with a bunch of friends… after the bar closed!

Ever done it on a bar?

Shhh... it’s a secret!

What's next for you?

Who knows? Life is unpredictable, the only thing I can ensure is that I always do my best! But I will go on to represent Hong Kong at the Global Finals held from July 28 to August 1 across several destinations in the UK including Edinburgh and London.

Best/worst chat up lines you've heard at a bar?

"May I have a Jäger bomb?" "Sorry we don't have energy drinks at our bar." "OK, I would like to have a Vodka Red Bull." "…"

Tell us a secret or something we don't know?

I am a martial artist! :D

If you were to make a barchick cocktail, what would you put in it?

I would use Talisker Single Malt Scotch Whisky (10 years old), Dai Pai Dong Tea Cordial, evaporated milk and egg white with coffee ale to create a BarChick cocktail named “Aberdeen” – it means “The son of Hong Kong” in Chinese, and is also the area in which I grew up in.

How do you like your Martini?

“Omakase”- which means “leave it to bartender”. I like to learn how other bartenders make their Martinis – with gin or vodka, my preference of course!

What did you want to be as a kid?

Graphic Designer
