Shut Sydney Chinatown cream puff eatery owes tax office $845,000

The now-closed Emperor's Garden restaurant in Sydney's Chinatown owes the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) more than $845,000 in back taxes, according to court documents. The 47-year-old eatery was famous for its inexpensive cream puffs served through a small takeaway window. The Chinese Friends of Labor member involved in running the restaurant, Valentine Yee, faces charges in the NSW Local Court for giving false or misleading evidence in an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) investigation.

The ATO has applied to wind up the company and appoint a liquidator to manage the insolvent business.
