1. Chinatown tribute for food pioneer and cultural leader (Westminster Extra, Dec. 8, 2023). Excerpt:

In the 1970s See Woo became popular with Chinese people living in London, but also helped bring a new cuisine to British diets.

He claimed that he was the first person to bring pak choi to dinner tables here.

The success of the supermarket, and later a company with different branches and a multi-million-pound turnover, meant he was able to make regular charitable donations to causes which interested him.

He was the head of the Chinatown Association and organised the annual parade through the area.
