Even with all of its hideous shortcomings he saw a jewel in the rough and went in with full knowledge "that success is the outcome of confidence and lots of hard work." He immediately set out to find ways to improve the business and after much research and thought he set forth plans to develop a Cantonese style restaurant. There were many Chinese restaurants in the area but no other Hong Kong style restaurants. He first removed all the pink items along with the gaudy decorations and cheap etched glass. They were all replaced with warm calming rosewood; apricot tiles soft table clothes. The bright lights were replaced with three different styles of mood lighting to enhance the ambiance and give you a warm and inviting feeling. When it was done he had created wonderfully sensual to the senses, smooth and elegant dining room where one can immerse themselves in a total dining experience.
