Tai Kuan-in: founder of Hang Yau, the curry-fishball name near the Ruins of St Paul's
Tai Kuan-in
Per official records, Tai Kuan-in is the founder of Hang Yau (恆友), a curry-fishball name near the Ruins of St Paul's in Macau. Founded in 1993, Hang Yau is famous for curry fishball and curry crab-roe ball skewers around Travessa da Sé (大堂巷) and Largo de São Domingos (板樟堂), a popular street-food landmark near the Ruins of St Paul's. The founder's name "Tai Kuan-in" appears in the official merchant listing on "Macao Ideas," run by the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM); the second generation, Tai Ka-ho (戴嘉豪), is separately corroborated as a current operator. Hang Yau won Macau's "My Favourite Street Food" award in 2018 and a China Golden Horse food honour in 2019. Because the founder's name currently appears via only one publisher (two IPIM government pages), this archive keeps the claim modestly hedged.
