Early riser makes food that touches the heart

For the past 60 years, Chui Hoi has risen in the early hours of the morning to prepare bite-size steamed morsels for his small but popular dim sum restaurant in Hong Kong.

"Sun Hing" opens its doors at 3:00 am, seven days a week, and has a loyal clientele from students to the elderly filling the 60-seat restaurant in the western district of Kennedy Town.

At 85 years old, Chui is committed to handmaking his dim sum - dumplings with meat, seafood and sweet fillings served in stacks of bamboo baskets - saying that freshness is key to their success.
