![]() Billy and Grace met as students at the University of Hong Kong. She was a secondary school teacher of mathematics and physics in Hong Kong. Tao's mother, Grace Leong, was born in Hong Kong she received a first-class honours degree in mathematics and physics at the University of Hong Kong. Tao's father, Billy Tao, was a Chinese paediatrician who was born in Shanghai and earned his medical degree ( MBBS) from the University of Hong Kong in 1969. Tao's parents are first-generation immigrants from Hong Kong to Australia. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest living mathematicians and has been referred to as the " Mozart of mathematics". Tao has been the author or co-author of over three hundred research papers. Tao won the Fields Medal in 2006 and won the Royal Medal and Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics in 2014. Tao was born to ethnic Chinese immigrant parents and raised in Adelaide. His research includes topics in harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, algebraic combinatorics, arithmetic combinatorics, geometric combinatorics, probability theory, compressed sensing and analytic number theory.

Terence Chi-Shen Tao FAA FRS ( Chinese: 陶哲軒 born 17 July 1975) is an Australian-born mathematician.

The baos were chewy and flavorless and the duck was likewise. ![]() I would definitely avoid the peking duck. We also ordered shaking beef, two sauteed greens dishes, peking duck, and salt n pepper shrimp. In fact, there seemed to be very little discernible crab taste in any of the dishes. The crab was transformed into 3 dishes: the legs were steamed with butter and garlic, the body was deep fried with garlic and chilis, and the guts were fried with rice. Alas, it was not the season for cloud monster crab so it was not wonderful…OK, but not wonderful. Don’t know if it was a spider crab, alaskan king crab, or what, but it very much reminded all of us of the cloud monster from Stranger Things. The birthday girl’s husband pre-ordered a giant crab. Turns out they didn’t need my help after all. So for any recommendations you’re stuck with Yelp. Anyway, when Shi Hai rebranded to World Seafood in 2016, it was to take their food to a lower price point, and correspondingly also lower quality, in essence dropping down the restaurant a classification to compete with places like NBC Seafood and Capital Seafood, rather than Sea Harbour and Lunasia. I can only explain that honor by saying the author was a New York based food critic, and I’m guessing Shi Hai was the only California Chinese restaurant he ever ate at, and it exceeded anything he had ever eaten in New York. Not the top 25 Chinese restaurants, but the top 25 restaurants period. Their biggest claim to fame was that in perhaps the most mystifying event of food journalism in the history of the United States, GQ Magazine named Shi Hai to their list of the top 25 restaurants in the US in 2015. Not that it was bad, but it was no Sea Harbour, or Lunasia, or Elite or King Hua. ![]() Just to add a little background info since nobody on this board eats there, when Shi Hai opened in 2014 they expressly indicated their intent to supplant Sea Harbour as the #1 Chinese restaurant in the San Gabriel Valley.
