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.

Share a gukbab soup with a pal. Dump the rice in when it rocks up, adjust flavour with pickled shrimp and sauces.

Best ramen in the city, though the childish will use the long lines as an excuse to argue. Show up at 3pm for quickest seats at a table.

Book ahead, order the "shao long bao" and go hard on the chef's recommendations.

Visit with a group of three or more and ask for the pork set. Kimchi jjigae is included.

My favourite Thai street food in the CBD can be a bit tricky to find because it's literally in a carpark.

Quick Indonesian. Can't go wrong with a balado or a bakar. Get a combo and ration the teh for spicy moments.

Best char siu bao and dou sha bao if you need a cheap snack on the go.

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.

Outstanding Korean fried chicken, and it's open late.
