Netflix's 'Culinary Class Wars' judge Ahn Sung Jae opens Hong Kong restaurant Mosu inspired by idol Chow Yun Fat

Ahn shared his excitement when Chow recently visited the restaurant with film mogul Peter Lam, admitting that he had been a fan of the actor since childhood, according to 8 Days.

In an Instagram video with Chow, the Michelin three-star chef said: "The reason I opened a restaurant in Hong Kong is because of you. I’ve watched your movies since I was a child!" Mosu is so successful that reservations are fully booked until next year.

During his visit, the 69-year-old actor reportedly took several selfies with the chef.

Chow, who began his career with TVB in 1974, gained fame through series like "The Bund", "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", and "The Yang’s Saga", and later starred in iconic films like "A Better Tomorrow," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," and "God of Gamblers."

The 69-year-old actor gained admiration for his philanthropic commitment to donate his $700 million fortune to charity after his passing, according to The Independent.
