Fiona Yuen's husband faces business trouble
23 Oct – Rumour has it that Fiona Yuen's husband, Anthony Kong, is saddled with heavy debts.
As reported on HK Channel website, source claimed that the Canadian restaurateur and his younger brother, Louis Kong failed to pay nine months' worth of rent for two of their restaurants, which totalled CAD 182,843 (approx. USD 177,414).
The restaurants are a South Asian cuisine place called Tropika and Hakka restaurant called Northern Delicacy. Both are located inside the Aberdeen Centre shopping mall in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. The brothers have been issued a warning in February by the property-owner, Fairchild Developments Limited, to pay the rent within five days.
The brothers had failed to make the payment and are currently being sued by the company.
When asked to comment on the issue, Fiona, who just gave birth to their daughter Alycia in August, replied, "I have never meddled in my husband's business. There is nothing for me to comment."
Meanwhile, Tropika's other branches in Cambie Street and Robson Street in downtown Vancouver are still in operation.
