In an online video yesterday, Oliver revealed his plan to open a branch of his Jamie's Italian chain in Causeway Bay in July. He also showed off a previously unknown skill when he spoke some Cantonese.
But unlike Oliver's 2009 proposal, this will not be his first venture in Asia - the chain opened an outlet in Singapore last July.
The new 200-seater restaurant, set up with local partner Big Cat Group, will be on the second floor of a new building at Tang Lung Street, home to a cluster of food and beverage outlets.
