We believe in simple ideas, strong relationships, and lasting impact. That philosophy doesn’t stop at the food — it also shapes the room that surrounds it.
Meet George
At The Flying Pigeon, many of the objects in the room carry a story. One of the most special is the horse that sits quietly in the restaurant.
Stephen brought this piece back from Xi'an during his travels. The city is famous for the remarkable discovery of the Terracotta Army, created more than two thousand years ago for Qin Shi Huang. Among the thousands of soldiers are powerful clay horses, standing alert beside chariots and cavalry — symbols of strength, movement, and endurance.
The horse in our front counter is a small tribute to that history. For us, it represents the journeys that shape who we are — the places we visit, the cultures we experience, and the stories we bring home.
Placed near the entrance of the restaurant, the horse is a quiet reminder that The Flying Pigeon itself was built through travel, curiosity, and connection. Just like the dishes we serve, the room is a collection of influences gathered along the way.
the lights
The light shades hanging above the bar carry a story of their own.
We first saw them in a market in Hong Kong — the kind of market where people stop by every day to shop for fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood, and meat. It was a place full of life: the sounds of vendors calling out, the colours of fresh produce, and the rhythm of everyday cooking. Among the stalls and shopfronts, these simple light shades caught our attention.
We loved their honesty. They were practical, humble, and part of the daily landscape of food and community.
During the years we spent living overseas, visiting fresh food markets became a ritual for us. No matter the city, markets were always where we felt most connected to a place — where ingredients, culture, and people come together. It shaped the way we cook and the way we think about food.
Bringing these light shades back with us was a small way of holding onto that philosophy. Today they hang above the bar at The Flying Pigeon, casting a warm glow — a quiet reminder of the markets we loved and the belief that good food always begins with fresh ingredients and the communities that gather around them.
