EY Entrepreneur Of The Year – Food and Beverage

Coming from an audit background, Samuel made a bold leap into the unfamiliar world of food and beverage, starting Dian Xiao Er, a casual Chinese restaurant in 2002. As a novice in the F&B industry, he faced numerous challenges including SARS outbreak, bird flu, and the 2007-08 financial crisis. Despite these challenges, Samuel's dauntless spirit and relentless drive propelled him to emerge stronger each time. His courage and resilience were particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic when he successfully doubled the business revenue.

Through strategic investment in branding and technology, Samuel transformed the business into a household name known for exceptional service, efficiency and consistent food quality. By prioritizing customer satisfaction, he has redefined industry standards and proven that with the right mindset and determination, success knows no bounds.
