His family announced on social media that, according to his wishes, no public ceremony will be held and his body has already been cremated. The post triggered an outpouring of grief as fans flooded his Weibo and Facebook pages to mourn the passing of one of “Hong Kong’s Four Literary Talents.” A multi-hyphenate life Born in Singapore in 1941, Chua Lam studied in Tokyo and was fluent in Chinese, English and Japanese. In the 1970s he joined Hong Kong cinema, producing classics such as “Drunken Master II” and “All’s Well, Ends Well.” From the 1980s onward, his witty columns defined the local food-writing style, while TV shows like “Tonight No Appointment” and “Chua Lam’s Taste” turned him into the Chinese world’s most recognizable gourmet. A quiet farewell, loud tributes online After health issues in recent years, Chua left hospital in early May but continued restaurant-hopping. According to family, he departed calmly with loved ones at his side. TVB News reported that, true to his motto of “don’t trouble others,” the family issued only a brief statement of thanks. Yet the hashtag “#ChuaLamPassesAway” on Weibo quickly exceeded 20 million reads, with celebrities across Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia posting tributes. Quotes that live on 1. “Good food is good—no explanation needed.” 2. “Happiness matters most; nothing is more direct than eating.” 3. “Don’t waste time on what you dislike.” These lines, widely shared online, encapsulate his lifelong devotion to gastronomy and freedom. Cultural legacy and unfinished projects Chua Lam helped popularize Hong Kong cha chaan teng culture worldwide, showcasing pineapple buns and silk-stocking milk tea on TV. Lately he had been planning a fine-dining take on Teochew cuisine with young chefs, a dream left unfinished. Publishers confirm his final essay collection, “Living Well,” will be released in Q4 2025, with royalties pledged to local food-rescue charities.
