Reinventing Cantonese Culinary Classics and Cultural Heritage

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 December 2024 – Yung’s Bistro has officially opened its second restaurant in Taikoo Place. Building on 82 years of culinary expertise from its parent company “Yung Kee Restaurant”, the brand celebrates authentic Cantonese cuisine through its philosophy of “Taste of Art, Made with Heart”. The restaurant offers traditional Cantonese dishes with contemporary flair. The new location is a significant milestone, where the brand incorporates modern design elements and sustainability concepts to create a dining space that perfectly balances traditional charm and modern sophistication.

Harmonizing Nature with Urban Life

The new Yung’s Bistro sits in the open space at Taikoo Piazza at Taikoo Place, Taikoo Square, Taikoo Garden and the open space at Taikoo Piazza offer more than 70,000 sq ft of green area. This redeveloped green space embraces nature-centric design, enhancing biodiversity and connecting the community with the natural environment. As a dynamic business hub, Taikoo Place skillfully blends modern urban amenities with green spaces, striking an ideal balance between work and leisure. The area features native vegetation, water features, and open spaces designed for community use and urban ecology, allowing visitors to experience Hong Kong’s bustling business world while enjoying moments of natural tranquility.

Yung’s Bistro recognizes urban professionals’ desire for quality living and has created a new location that perfectly aligns with sustainability principles and Taikoo Place’s green design. This philosophy is reflected in the restaurant’s interior, where diners can enjoy gourmet, leisure, and nature at the same time.

A Dialogue Between Classic and Contemporary

The new location’s interior design was helmed once again by the Lim + Lu design team. The 2,500-square-foot interior space and nearly 1,000-square-foot outdoor terrace has been transformed into a serene dining sanctuary with contemporary design aesthetics.

The restaurant boldly features “vermilion,” one of the twelve traditional Chinese colors, as its primary tone. This distinctive reddish-yellow hue creates a subtle earthy texture throughout the space, establishing a vintage, subtle luxury atmosphere that gleams of liveliness and joyfulness. The signature brick wall design, inspired by Yung Kee, is reimagined through contrasting tones, honoring its heritage while asserting the young brand’s unique identity. The three-dimensional handcrafted bricks create rich visual textures and depth.

Upon entering, guests are greeted by two striking hand-painted murals. These works blend playful charm with traditional Chinese artistic elements. The lifelike figures are inspired by Black Maine Chinese Goose, referencing Yung Kee’s iconic goose pond and “Lanting Court” private dining room. The design incorporates elements from Wang Xizhi’s famous “Winding Stream Party,” depicting serene pavilion scenes. The charming geese appear to frolic in nature, leisurely enjoying tea from cloisonné teaware. Both murals, personally created by Lala Curio’s founder Laura Cheung Wolf, add vibrancy and whimsy to the restaurant while celebrating cultural heritage.

The designers have maximized the VIP area’s limited space to cleverly create three private rooms with sage green leather panels. These rooms can be combined into one spacious dining area for events and gatherings, maintaining design cohesion while enhancing the space’s aesthetic appeal.

The lounge area, situated in front of the central bar, features floor-to-ceiling windows. Here, guests can relax on comfortable sofas and armchairs and enjoying drinks while basking in natural daylight—creating an inviting dining and social atmosphere.

At the bar’s far end lies an intimate and secluded photo spot. The two overlapping semi-circular booths sits in front of another lively hand-painted mural, where playful geese appear to wander through different corners of the interior. This creates a relaxed, joyful atmosphere that perfectly suits Taikoo Place’s young professional community, ideal for both quick breaks and social gatherings.

Outside, guests will be whisked into Yung’s Bistro’s nearly 1,000-square-foot terrace. The spacious outdoor dining area, where pets are also welcomed is perfect for both events and after-work relaxation and embodied true work-life balance.

Leading Sustainable Development in the Food & Beverage Industry

Yung’s Bistro’s new Taikoo Place location demonstrates strong environmental commitment through both design and operations. The restaurant showcases its sustainability philosophy through various eco-friendly materials, including innovative seating from Kanso Design—a company recently honored with the 2024 DFA Design for Asia Awards for its outstanding design concepts.

Yung’s Bistro is the first restaurant worldwide to feature Kanso Design’s latest black and white interwoven collection. These chairs, crafted by Japanese designer Sakura Adachi, combine stylish aesthetics with environmental consciousness—their fabric is woven from 100% recycled ocean plastic fibers, representing a perfect blend of fashion and sustainability.

From planning to completion, the restaurant has adhered to rigorous sustainability standards, becoming the first local Chinese restaurant to receive the highest “Three Leaf” in Taikoo Place’s “Green Kitchen” programme. The restaurant also put a significant amount of resources and effort in waste reduction, plastic reduction, and carbon reduction, and is currently pursuing BEAM Plus certification.

Yvonne Kam, third-generation leader of Yung Kee, explains “Opening Yung’s Bistro at Taikoo Place marks not only a significant milestone in our brand’s development, but also an advancement of our sustainable dining vision. We understand the importance of corporate social responsibility, which is why we’ve incorporated numerous eco-friendly elements into the new location’s design, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable development.”

To further embrace sustainability, Yung’s Bistro has partnered with renowned local fashion designer Dorian Ho for an innovative upcycling project. Apart from designing staff uniforms, Ho has transformed unused tablecloths into stylish eco-bags to be gifted to guests for the opening.

Yvonne adds “Yung Kee has always championed ‘Made in Hong Kong.’ We’re thrilled to collaborate with local talents across different sectors to contribute to Hong Kong’s sustainable development. Through Yung’s Bistro, we hope to inspire customers to explore and appreciate Cantonese cuisine in a new light, promoting authentic flavors and Hong Kong’s unique food culture.”

A Culinary Symphony of Tradition and Modernity

Yung’s Bistro’s Taikoo Place location offers a feast for both eyes and palate. The team extends the brand’s core philosophy through four key pillars: modern interpretations of classics, nostalgic favorites, childhood-inspired creations, and refined home-style dishes. The team meticulously selected several original and signature dishes of “Twelve Exclusive Delights” to offer in Taikoo Place branch, also specially created three exclusive delicacies, showcasing the essences of Cantonese cuisine in multiple perspectives.

The Deep-fried Shrimp Ball with Fermented Bean Curd (HK$260) made with Yung Kee’s famous 1.5-month-aged fermented bean curd sourced from a supplier that insists on making it the old-fashioned way, the kitchen stuffs the savoury “Chinese cheese” into shrimp balls before deep-frying them is a must-try. Once cooked, the shrimp balls have a wonderfully crispy exterior with a delicious interior that oozes like melted cheese. The Deep-fried Cod with Diced Salted Fish, Crispy Garlic and Chili in Special Sauce (HK$380) reimagines a traditional dish by combining typhoon shelter-style cod fish with salted fish’s umami notes, accompanied by yuzu juice, adding playful elements to this classic combination.

Nostalgic favorites include Steamed Egg White, Mini Crab Roe with Rice (HK$150 ) a classic dish that is laboriously made by hand-picking the crab roe from around 10 mini crabs that are prized for its strong umami flavour and delicate texture.Steamed Beef Patties and Stir-fried Sliced Beef with Premium Aged Tangerine Peel ($300) is a must-try, allowing guests to enjoy beef prepared in two different styles with the addition of a classic Cantonese ingredient, aged tangerine peel, in this case, 25-year-old peel sourced exclusively from Xinhui, where tangerine trees have been grown and the method for drying and preserving the peel perfected for over 800 years..

The childhood-inspired dishes include the Roasted Whole Goose Leg with Charcoal Stove (HK$360), served tableside with a charcoal brazier to preserve its chargrill aroma. This presentation not only recalls the tradition of gifting goose legs during festivals , but also evokes cherished memories. Among the home-style selections, the Homestyle Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables in Soy Sauce (HK$320) features local Hong Kong Berkshire pork, prepared using traditional methods to highlight both the meat’s succulence and the preserved vegetable’s natural sweetness. The Smoked Baby Chicken (HK$660) uses organic free-range Qingyuan chicken, prepared using secret family recipe and smoked before being hand-pulled, preserving the bird’s tenderness and natural juices.

One of the three new specialty dishes created for the new restaurant is Lily on Fire (HK$180). The clear broth is made by a whole nine-year-old lily bulb, which may seem simple but is actually prepared through a complex stewing process. The nourishing soup has a sweet and pure taste without any impurities. The Steamed Rice with Cured Meat, Sakura Shrimp and Spring Onion (HK$220), is an elevated interpretation of traditional claypot rice, cooked to order. This dish features select pearl rice perfectly paired with house-made cured meat, allowing the cured meat’s rich oil to permeate through each grain. Fresh scallions provide both visual appeal and aromatic balance to complement the cured meat’s richness.

The dessert menu features the Cubes of Joy (HK$58), a creative tribute to Taikoo Place’s heritage. The site of Taikoo Place was home to the Taikoo Sugar Refinery in the late 19th century, one of Hong Kong’s earliest industrial areas. The key element of this innovative dessert is sugarcane juice, offering not only a delightful taste but also celebrating the area’s transformation from an industrial center to a modern commercial hub.

To accommodate the business district’s needs, the restaurant offers weekly rotating business lunch sets. Dim sum selections are available throughout the day, with an expanded weekend menu providing comprehensive yum cha options for patrons.

The bar continues to serve popular cocktails from the Tsim Sha Tsui location. Keeping with the brand’s commitment to sustainability, the wine list features selections from biodynamic wineries, offering both environmental consciousness and exceptional quality.

Embracing innovation, the contemporary matcha brand Matchali develops a unique green tea-based cocktail for this new location. Named “Y Matcha,” this creation draws inspiration from Matchali’s popular strawberry matcha latte, combining fresh strawberries, premium rum, and bright citrus notes, topped with a cold-brew milk foam infused with Matchali’s signature matcha powder.

The opening of Yung’s Bistro at Taikoo Place represents a significant milestone for the brand. Here, guests can experience Cantonese cuisine that honors tradition while embracing innovation, in a setting that celebrates both environmental consciousness and artistic design. Whether hosting business gatherings or enjoying casual meals, Yung’s Bistro’s new location offers a distinctive dining experience.

The Yung Kee brand will continue its journey of innovation, with more exciting projects planned for Hong Kong’s dining scene.

KGI: 2026 Global Market Outlook

Published

on

Beyond Balance: The Next Regime

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 January 2026 – Today, KGI has released its 2026 Global Market Outlook, covering markets in the US, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore.

(From left) James Chu, Chairman at KGI Securities Investment Advisory; James Wey, Head of International Wealth Management at KGI; Cusson Leung, Chief Investment Officer at KGI

After a turbulent year of trade disruptions and policy uncertainty under President Trump, investors face new questions. China has unveiled its 15th Five-Year Plan, as policymakers aim to support domestic growth amid global challenges. The market outlook for 2026 is shaped by interest rate decisions, economic resilience, and shifting international dynamics.

Under this backdrop, we propose the “LEAD” strategy for 2026:

  1. Liquidity Shift
  2. Earnings Focused
  3. Adding Credit
  4. Diversified Assets

Cusson Leung, Chief Investment Officer at KGI, says: “Looking ahead to 2026, investors can adopt a LEAD strategy: L ​​stands for Liquidity Shift, benefiting from a weakening US dollar and interest rate cuts, with funds expected to flow to non-US dollar and Asian currencies; E stands for Earnings Focused, focusing on earnings growth to support valuations and allocating to US, European, and Japanese stocks; A stands for Adding Credit, locking in the credit of leading companies and increasing holdings of A-rated investment grade bonds; and D stands for Diversified Assets, responding to the upward trend in both stocks and bonds by including alternative assets to optimize asset allocation.”

Macro & US Markets
The US economy will experience a more pronounced downturn in 4Q25, which will extend into 1H26, and this will have a negative impact on consumption, slowing investment activity. Nevertheless, AI-driven productivity gains should provide some support, with US GDP growth in 2026 forecast at 2.2%. The eurozone will see moderate growth, with Germany benefiting significantly from fiscal expansion and economic improvement. Japan’s economy will strengthen on domestic demand, aided by additional fiscal stimulus. China has demonstrated resilience under trade protectionism in 2025. With inflation risks easing and labor market risks rising, the US Fed cut the interest rates in September 2025, with a total reduction of 75 bps in 2025, followed by an additional 50-75 bps in 2026.

Regarding US stocks, AI-driven productivity gains and cost reductions should sustain solid profitability, with S&P 500 earnings projected to grow by 13.55% year-on-year (YoY) in 2026. However, higher risk premiums may cap valuation upside, leading us to project a year-end target of 7,650 points. Market performance will reflect risk-driven declines in 1Q26, stabilize and recover in 2Q26, and rally significantly around the midterm elections in 4Q26. By sector, among AI-related themes we favor technology, semiconductors, utilities (on higher power demand), machinery for advanced manufacturing, and industrial REITs. Non-AI beneficiaries include aerospace and defense (on higher military spending), pharmaceuticals (on tariff benefits), and capital market segments (supported by active investment banking). As for fixed income, US economic weakness and Fed rate cuts will drive Treasury yields lower, with 10-year yields expected to fall to 3.5-3.7% by 2Q26. We recommend allocating to US Treasuries or high-rated investment-grade corporate bonds in 1H26, then rotating into high-yield bonds in 2H26 as policy rates and economic conditions reach a bottom.

James Chu, Chairman at KGI Securities Investment Advisory, says: “AI is triggering a new productivity revolution, supporting economic growth and strengthening corporate earnings. While the US economy is expected to slow, a recession remains unlikely, and the short-term impact of tariff policies should gradually fade by the first quarter of 2026. Although the Fed may shift from cutting rates at every meeting to cutting at alternating meetings, the overall environment remains a rate-cutting cycle. In a non-recession backdrop, lower interest rates should continue to support equity market performance.”

Mainland China and Hong Kong Markets
In terms of the macroeconomy, with the conclusion of trade agreements among many countries, risks have subsided. However, due to external drag, China’s GDP growth is expected to slow slightly to 4.6% in 2026. In 2026, investors should focus on four key areas for Hong Kong and mainland China markets: (1) In the consumption sector, domestic demand continued to be the core growth driver, contributing more than half of GDP. As the “trade-in” effect diminishes, the central government is expected to implement the “15th Five-Year Plan” and economic conference plans, launching a new round of subsidies covering culture, entertainment, and sports to continuously boost consumer spending. (2) In the financial market, risk appetite has increased. Given the narrowing spread between bond yields and fixed deposit rates, large amounts of savings are flowing into the capital market seeking returns. The fundamentals of the banking and insurance industries have bottomed out, and the credit structure is accelerating its shift from real estate to supporting the real economy. (3) Regarding the issue of “anti-involution,” the PPI remains weak, and capacity reduction has become a focus. Compared to 2015, this round involves more downstream private enterprises and needs to consider employment, presenting greater challenges. While industry consolidation is expected to be lengthy, the impact is controllable and beneficial for long-term healthy development. (4) Regarding new quality productive forces, this will replace real estate and infrastructure as the main investment focus. Digital infrastructure supports AI and embodied intelligence, and humanoid robots are expected to see commercialization in 2026, “iPhone moment.” Leading companies with core technological autonomy in innovative drugs will enjoy higher valuation premiums.

Overall, we are optimistic on Hang Seng Index. We expect the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cuts to drive fund inflows to the Hong Kong and mainland stock markets. Based on an upward revision of the forward PE ratio to 13.5x and 8% earnings growth, we set a target of 30,000 points for the Hang Seng Index by the end of 2026, representing a potential upside of approximately 14%. As confidence recovers, the investment style is expected to shift from defensive to growth stocks. Recommended 12 stocks: XPeng Motors (9868), UBTECH (9880), Tencent Holdings (700), Alibaba (9988), China Hongqiao (1378), AIA Group (1299), Ping An Insurance (2318), China Merchants Bank (3968), Akeso Biopharma (9926), Pop Mart (9992), Tencent Music (1698), and Sino Land (83).

Cusson Leung, Chief Investment Officer at KGI, says: “2026 marks a crucial turning point for the Chinese economy. While the market anticipates GDP growth to slow to 4.6%, “new quality productive forces,” resembling humanoid robots, is taking over as a new growth engine. The most critical signal in the market is the “awakening” of idle cash—massive savings are flowing from low-interest fixed deposits to the capital market seeking returns. With risk appetite returning and policy support intensifying, now is the time to shift investment strategies from “defensive” to “growth.” Driven by both valuation repair and earnings growth, we are optimistic that the Hang Seng Index will reach 30,000 points, and the allocation value of Hong Kong and mainland China stocks has reappeared.”

Taiwan Market
Compared to the dot-com era bull run, which lasted almost five years, the current AI frenzy has been around for about three years, suggesting that the uptrend is still in its middle phase and could extend through 2026.

AI plays are trading at high PEs, such valuations are backed by strong fundamentals. In fact, the PEG ratio of Taiwan’s AI supply chain has yet to surpass 1x. We estimate that aggregate earnings of AI plays will grow by 21% YoY in 2026, following impressive upticks of 35% in 2024 and 43% in 2025. AI stocks now account for more than 60% of TAIEX earnings, and with the ongoing AI arms race, overall TAIEX earnings growth is projected to accelerate from 14% in 2025F to 20% in 2026.

Although the AI frenzy should keep the bull market intact, volatility will rise in tandem due to: (1) substantial cumulative gains, and the fact that valuations are approaching historic highs; (2) policy and political uncertainty surrounding the US midterm elections; and (3) potential changes in the US Fed’s rate-cut pace. We expect the TAIEX to repeat a “smile-curve” pattern, featuring continued strength in 1Q26, followed by healthy corrections in 2Q-3Q26 before closing the year with a renewed upswing.

We think investors need to pay attention to two major themes. The first is a broad-based product spec upgrade trend across the AI supply chain, which will drive the industry into a new growth phase, with beneficiaries including foundries, GPU and ASIC designers, advanced packaging (such as CoWoS), and ODMs, as well as testing interfaces, memory, thermal solutions, CCL, ABF substrates, PCBs, switches, and power component suppliers amid strong AI computing demand and ongoing GPU platform upgrades. The second is diversification and defensive asset allocation. Innovations in consumer electronics, such as foldable iPhones and smart wearables, will provide growth opportunities, while companies with resilient domestic demand and stable high dividend yields offer a balanced strategy combining growth and income. Overall, investors should strike a balance between growth and resilience against volatility in their portfolios, in the face of market fluctuations.

James Chu, Chairman at KGI Securities Investment Advisory, says: “The solid earnings growth driven by AI and still reasonable valuations form a strong foundation for the ongoing bull market in Taiwanese equities. With AI adoption accelerating across enterprises and consumers, demand for computing power is rising rapidly. Yet supply remains constrained by chip and power bottlenecks, meaning hardware suppliers are likely to face continued shortages through 2026. Taiwan’s AI supply chain is set to remain a key beneficiary, particularly those tied to next-generation specification upgrades.”

Singapore Market
In 9M25, the overall performance of Singapore’s economy was better than expected as the global trade tensions eased after the US pivoted on its reciprocal tariffs and reached deals with its major trading partners. The manufacturing, wholesale trade and finance & insurance sectors remained the growth pillars of the Singapore economy, and each sector delivered decent growth. In particular, manufacturing’s growth has been robust, driven by the electronics, transport engineering and biomedical manufacturing clusters. The full year outlook is upbeat, as the growth momentum shall continue till the end of the year.

Looking ahead, the global economic outlook for 2026 suggests slower GDP growth for most of Singapore’s key trading partners, including China and the Eurozone, largely due to the impact of US tariffs, which will temper demand for Southeast Asian exports, though US growth is expected to remain resilient from AI investment. Consequently, Singapore’s outward-oriented sectors, particularly manufacturing and trade-related services, are projected to expand at a slower pace than in 2025, although the electronics and related sectors will benefit from AI demand, while some precision engineering and biomedical output may moderate domestically, the construction sector is set to grow, but consumer-facing sectors are likely to remain subdued. However, the relatively low interest rates and continuous government support shall buffer the impact of the slowdown, and the capital market will still benefit from the upward re-rating catalysts.

Chen Guangzhi, Head of Research at KGI Singapore, says: “Thanks to trade de-escalation and the AI wave, Singapore experienced significant economic expansion in 2025. Proactive government initiatives turbo-charged the equity bull run, and this strong momentum is expected to deliver an optimistic economic outlook for 2026.”
