The dragon awakens

The owner of a homegrown restaurant learnt the culinary ropes the hard way, and has persevered to build one of Malaysia’s most successful Chinese restaurant chains today.

IT took only six months to set up Dragon-i, the hugely popular Shanghainese restaurant created from scratch by 38-year-old Henry Yip Choong Hung. Many assumed that it would be a breeze to set up and run his second restaurant venture, Canton-i. But Yip says otherwise.
