However firstly 2020 seemed to be an exciting and promising year. After six months of planning he and his team was ready to open Wang’s brand new restaurant in Buda.

They were planning the opening party when the COVID kicked the door. There is an old say: the problem does not come alone. Indeed. After the pandemia closed all the restaurants, the re-opening was questioned too: administrative challenges that seemed unsolvable came up.

Master Wang was really thinking about leaving the Buda project. But in the very last moment the bureaucratic problems were gone so he was able to open the new restaurant!

Sadly the happiness didn’t last to long again. The COVID came back. That’s how he is now. Probably you would say he should leave the business. But the thing is Master Wang is not that kind of guy. He is a crazily and ultimately optimistic business man. And ever-smiling guy who still have dozens of new plans in Hungary.

2. If you could be an expat anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
I think I still choose Budapest.

They have to see that view what I mentioned. And then I would take them to the New York Kávéház. This is the most beautiful café I've ever seen!
