TWO chefs are set to bring a regular taste of the Orient to York's Newgate market with their authentic Dim Sum food stall.
Dim Sum is the traditional midday meal eaten in south-east Asia, but, according to head chef Stephen Hudson, is not often available in local restaurants.
So Stephen, and stepson Zhuo Gang, set up the stall last week and have already attracted a number of regulars.
The food is all made with ingredients bought from the other Newgate Market stalls, or shops within a 50 metre radius.
Stephen, who runs Goodramgate based U & Yu Jade Retailers with his wife Xu Ai-Ling, said he is enjoying market life.
"It is going well. This is our fifth day and we have already had repeat customers. They include the other market traders who have been our best customers so far.
"We will be here on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays and hope to get Friday in as well.
"If things go well we would really enjoy opening a restaurant but we are enjoying things here at the minute and will see how it goes."
