Cheung Mo Tat, the owner of Baccarat Restaurant. His wife is from China. He has his wedding photograph taken at the studio just next door to his restaurant (photo above). Several months later the studio moved to another better business location. Cheung immediately took over the vacant studio and converts it into his 2nd restaurant keeping the original studio decoration (photo below).

Cheung's success did not come by chance. He taught himself English and welcome customers in English whenever Western tourists pass by his shop. Very few restaurants in this island speak English, as least not as enthusiastic as him

As such, Baccarat Restaurant is a popular stop for western travelers.

By December the new extension is ready (photo above) and Shirley and co-worker are ready to welcome customers.
