The movie LITTLE RED SWEET (HUNG DAU) would be released on February 27. LITTLE RED SWEET tells the story of a traditional Teochew family whose parents made a name for themselves in Kowloon City with their famous red bean soup and raised a pair of children. Yet in the face of the death of her mother, her daughter gave up her dream and wanted to help her father keep the family business, but the son had no intention to. The old store was forced to move under the giant wheel of the times, how would everyone choose between family, career and love? In the production special, Simon Yam Tak Wah bluntly said that he communicated with his daughter Stephy Tang Lai Yan in the wrong way in the film this time. "My character also loves his children and wife, but actually he just doesn't know how to express his inner world and inner love. So he uses the wrong way. He would be stubborn with his elder daughter, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love her." Yam Tak Wah's character was demanding in the desserts he made, which was equal to his insistence on his wife, daughter and son, and his insistence on the friends around him. This was the legacy.

Stephy revealed that her character grew up in Kowloon City from childhood to adulthood, watching planes soaring in the sky everyday with a heart yearning for freedom, and wanting to see the world. She really wanted to break through this restrictive framework in this strict family.
