Edison
Edison is the editor of Yum Cha Now and a long-time Hong Kong expat who has lived in the city long enough to know its rhythms intimately — the dim sum spots that fill before 8am, the rooftop bars that don't hit their stride until midnight, and the hiking trails that empty out after a typhoon signal drops.
Well-travelled and socially plugged-in, he writes across the full range of Hong Kong life: new restaurant and bar openings, the events and shows worth your time, gallery openings, live music and the practicalities of expat life. His voice is smart, warm and occasionally sardonic, but never smug — he wants readers to feel they're getting the real story from a friend who actually lives here.
As editor, Edison also shapes the wider Yum Cha Now team's coverage, setting the standard for honest, useful, on-the-ground reporting about the city.
