Yeo's upbringing and heritage is almost as complex as his genre-bending sound and lyricism. He's lived across Brisbane, Geelong and Melbourne with roots in Malaysia, but it's Melbourne that he considers home. As a musician, producer and DJ, Yeo draws his inspiration from his exposure to diversity, collaborating with local Australian artists, as well as southeast Asian talent. His sound and himself included are representative of Melbourne's cultural landscape; varied, unique and exciting. Scroll down below for Yeo's top spots for Asian food around the city.

The fit-out is stunning, but so is the broth. Go easy on the hot sauces and remember, mild is still spicy in the Sichuan universe.
