Hao Quan

38, Chef

A secret you discovered about Mumbai?

Not many people in the city know much about authentic Chinese fare, so there is a lot of potential to introduce them to our authentic cuisine.

An Indian product or service you can’t do without?

Taxis.

Any fashion tips?

I like casual wear and prefer loose and comfortable clothing.

Dared to try street food?

Not as yet. I have heard a lot about it and shall surely try some soon.

A phrase you’re bound to hear?

Chalta hai, Tension nahi.

Your road experiences?

I watch carefully before crossing the road as the traffic direction in Mumbai is opposite to that in Beijing.

What is sexy about Mumbai?

The Elephanta Island.

Have you been conned yet?

Yes, I took a cab from Nariman Point to Churchgate and paid Rs 50, which is thrice the actual fare.

Truly, madly, deeply, Mumbai...

I enjoy Bollywood movies and find Indian stars very attractive.

What are the similarities or differences between Mumbai and your hometown?

The popularity of their street food.

Mumbai, the cultural capital?

I would say it is a 30 per cent cultural, 20 per cent movie and 40 per cent business capital.
