In the late 2000s, drawing on decades of expertise as a sauce maker, Billy Chow's father established Chow Kee, cooking and selling pantry essentials like bean pastes and chili sauces. Now taking the helm of this family business, Billy carries on his father's time-honored recipes while also introducing freshly handmade siu mai, which has gained a substantial following, especially when paired with their signature sauces. His commitment to blending innovation with tradition breathes new life into the shop.

Alvin C.K. Lam is a Hong Kong–based self-taught watercolor artist who recalls picking up a paintbrush long before chopsticks. What began in 2020 as an experiment in urban sketching soon became a journey of rediscovering his hometown and uncovering the untold stories hidden within its streets. Known for his richly detailed and evocative style, Alvin captures Hong Kong’s vibrant yet fading cultural heritage through scenes of traditional family businesses, craftsmen, and everyday life. His ongoing series, Unspoken Stories, Unsung Heroes, celebrates these ordinary figures—the quiet backbone of modern Hong Kong—reflecting the enduring Lion Rock Spirit while evoking nostalgia amid the tension between tradition and progress.
