What It Takes To Be A Serial Celeb F&B Towkay
8 Days|November 16, 2017

Lots of patience and perseverance, at least according to actor Zhang Yaodong.

What It Takes To Be A Serial Celeb F&B Towkay
Actor Zhang Yaodong may have just opened Asian fusion restaurant Maru in Tanjong Pagar’s Icon Village, but he’s no stranger to the F&B scene.

Over the past nine years, the Malaysia-born 40-year-old has set up two food businesses – Restoran Selayang in Singapore, a joint venture with fellow actor Terence Cao selling roast meat, and restaurant Niu Taste in his hometown of Kuala Lumpur, serving Taiwanese beef noodles. Both eateries have since shuttered, but that hasn’t deterred him from taking another stab at F&B.

Yaodong, who is perhaps best recognised for his role as a cop-turned-villain in last year’s Ch 8 police drama C.L.I.F 4, tells us jovially: “I’m a foodie and I love to eat. Everyone around me knows that if they want good food recommendations, they should look for me. So it’s natural that if I were to invest in a business, I’d go for the food industry.”
