i. Biography
Leung Fai Keung’s name is tied to a specific kind of dim sum operation: in 2009, he co-founded Tim Ho Wan with Mak Kwai Pui, opening the first Hong Kong restaurant as a 20-seater shop. That scale matters. It frames the work as tightly edited, built on control, and recognizable for making a small room carry a wide reputation.
Coming Up
The key career fact is the 2009 founding of Tim Ho Wan with Mak Kwai Pui. For the trade, that reads as a study in precision rather than flourish: a first restaurant in Hong Kong, a limited seat count, and a concept defined by what it could do well within a narrow footprint. His role is that co-founding and the opening of the first Hong Kong restaurant. From that point, Leung Fai Keung’s record is anchored to the act of setting standards early — a compact dining room, 20 seats, and a name that became closely associated with accessible Hong Kong dim sum.
Where They Are Now
No current role is stated in facts. What can be said is straightforward: Leung Fai Keung co-founded Tim Ho Wan in 2009 with Mak Kwai Pui, and that founding remains the main reference point for his public profile.
Signature
Leung's signature dishes include Signature Baked Barbecue Pork Buns, Baked BBQ Pork Buns (3 pieces), Shrimp Dumplings, Steamed Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow), and Steamed Dumplings with Shrimp and Chives. Taken together, the list points to a house style built on familiarity and repetition done cleanly — a set of items that define the kitchen through consistency rather than excess.
Honors
Leung's honors include Michelin star. For a 20-seater dim sum shop first opened in Hong Kong in 2009, that recognition marks the reach of the original setup and its place in the record attached to Leung Fai Keung’s name.
