A day or two before the carnival, Yao opened up his home privately to promote his upcoming charity gala on March 28th in Houston. Here is a write-up of the event from CultureMap.com

Yes, but the press was not allowed and no photos were taken. So we can’t tell you if the door frames of Houston Rocket Yao Ming’s home are exceptionally high or the furnishings are super-sized. Those who were invited in were leaders of the Asian community, business execs and members of the Yao Ming Foundation Gala host committee.

While Ming spoke about his foundation’s work aiding earthquake victims in China, the point of the gathering was to stir interest in the March 28 gala at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Chinese dancers will perform. Emmy award-winning chef Ming Tsai will present a food demonstration and singer Michael Cavanaugh, the Billy Joel sound-alike, will perform. Expect a tantalizing dinner courtesy of Yao Restaurant and Bar.

Tickets start at $500 with limited availability at this lowest price.
