From pop star to bun chef, Oscar Siu has savored it all

Oscar Siu Yun-pong used to dream of pop stardom; now he dreams of bun kingship.

The 30-year-old was an aspiring pop star in the Cantonese band Bliss. Then he radically switched career paths and became a chef at his own restaurant in Mongkok specializing in Shanghainese snacks, particularly the pan-fried bun called "sheng jian bao."

"When I hear people say things like 'this is impossible' I think they are just unwilling to try," says Siu, who prides himself on his versatility. 

He wasn't a mega hit as a pop star, but Siu has let go of all that. He considers himself a true free spirit and doesn't want to pigeonhole himself in anyway.
