Author — Chinese food in Glasgow and Scotland; Cantonese and regional Chinese cooking, dim sum, and the history of the city's Chinese community.

Listed with the critics and writers in Glasgow.

Sean Wai Keung wrote The Vittles Guide to Chinese Restaurants in Glasgow (17 February 2026), commissioned as part of the Vittles Chinatowns Project. Vittles is the most serious independent food publication in the country, and a commissioned city guide under his own byline is the strongest single-cuisine credential anyone holds in Glasgow. His guide reads the city historically as well as critically, covering the long-standing Cowcaddens restaurants around the old Chinatown alongside newer regional openings in the West End, and his picks are dish-specific rather than venue-level.

    “Loon Fung opened in 1971 and has been specialising in dim sum ever since. While other places, including Chinatown Restaurant, have at times threatened its crown as the go-to place for yum cha in the city, Loon Fung's longevity has ensured that it remains number one to many. My favourites include the chicken feet in black bean sauce as well as the turnip cake and satay whelks.”
