Description

Pang Yok Tong arrived in Wales in 1978 to reunite with his family, and his wife joined him in 1982. Like many newcomers, he initially found work in a Chinese takeaway, but quickly recognised a need for accessible Chinese groceries in Swansea. This inspired him to open his own Chinese grocery shop, providing the community with much-needed ingredients and familiar flavors. After some time, Pang sold the grocery shop to opening the first dim sum restaurant in Swansea. Located at 12 High St, Dragon’s Nest became a landmark, offering authentic Cantonese cuisine and dim sum to the local community. The restaurant's opening was celebrated with a special visit from the Mayor of Swansea, underscoring its significance as a cultural milestone in the area. Pang Yok Tong’s entrepreneurial spirit and dedication not only met a community need but also brought a piece of Cantonese heritage to South Wales.
