Chin Lo
Barber
Chin Lo knows everything about everyone in town. He has a way about him that encourages his customers to talk. Perhaps it has something to do with his straight razor; Chin Lo gives the closest shaves in Hong Kong. With Madame Wong's approval, he has been running his roadside business just outside Madame Wong's "Garden of Good Fortune Tea House" for years.

Chou Chyou (Recommended as Host)
Kitchen Helper
Chou is responsible for steaming and preparing the dim-sum Madame Wong makes available to her guests while they sip their tea. She opens the garden gate for the delivery Boy, Wan Ting, but as mere Kitchen Helper, she has no contact with the customers whom she can only spy through the kitchen serving window. She is lazy, eats and complains all the time.

Dong Wong
Madame Wong's Son
Dong Wong, a Hong Kong Business Man, is Madame Wong's only son. Priding himself on his British education, he is a snob. He likes to pronounce his name in the Western way, family name last. He has walked with a limp since his childhood and therefore is never without his wooden cane. He likes having others wait on him hand and foot.
