Donnie Yen loves laksa & durian

During a segment with the emcees, Donnie revealed that laksa was his a runner-up for his favourite food in Singapore. This humourous exchange was captured by a fan on Instagram.

 

So what food won his heart? The king of fruits — durian. This obviously resulted in excited screams from the crowd.

Thanked residents & fans who came down

Donnie also took the chance to earnestly thank Tampines residents and “everybody who came out here to support” him.

He added that as an actor and filmmaker, he strives for perfection but even so, it is impossible if not for the love from the fans.

Donnie also wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy new year in advance. Of course, he encouraged fans to watch Ip Man 4 during the holiday.

If they saw “something interesting”, they could also share it with him on his social media platforms.

Together with his wife Cissy Wang, North East CDC Mayor Desmond Choo, MP Cheng Li Hui, Yen officially unveiled the Ip Man Pavilion at Our Tampines Hub.

He first made his debut as the grandmaster in 2008, making it a whopping 11 years since he started kicking ass in the popular franchise.

Alas, all good things must come to an end. Yen had said that he has to “keep exploring to grow”, especially as an actor.

Appearing at Shaw Theatres Lido tonight (10 Dec)

We hope that Donnie Yen enjoyed his visit to our sunny shores and his time with the fans at Our Tampines Hub.

If you missed the chance to see him yesterday, tonight (10 Dec) is the time for you to shine.

He’ll be making another appearance at Shaw Theatres Lido in Orchard at 8.30pm. Good luck!
