Yesterday (Dec 2), Alan Tam, who recently got criticised for performing on a Chinese live streamer’s broadcast (apparently because it’s degrading for a star of his status), posted a series of photos of him at what appears to be poker night at his pal Kenny Bee’s Shanghai apartment.
At the gathering too was Charmaine Sheh (she's the one in the black cap and showing the peace sign) and Jordan Chan and his wife Cherrie Ying, all of whom have been living in China for a while now. - 2/4
From the pics, it’s clear they had an awesome time. There was lots of wine, they played poker, they had a jamming session, you know, basically what you and your friends would do on a Saturday night.

Netizens also noted how happy everyone looked, especially Kenny. The 67-year-old veteran singer, who is now competing in singing show Our Song along with Coco Lee, Joey Yung and Jordan, was beaming from ear to ear in the photos.
Jordan, on the other hand, now sports a mustache, which, according to netizens, made him look much older than his 53 years. In fact, some even said he looks about the same age as Kenny and Alan, who is 70. - 4/4Jordan, Alan and Kenny at another wine-filled gathering
As expected, netizens couldn’t help scrutinising every detail of Kenny’s apartment, which they say is furnished nicely, but is on the small side, proving just how precious real estate is in Shanghai.
