TRIVIA

She was Miss Chinese Montreal in 1995.

After winning 12th place in Miss Chinese Montréal Pageant in 1994, Tong represented Montréal to compete in the Miss Chinese International Pageant 1995. Although she only reached the Top 12 in the pageant, she was approached by TVB with an acting contract.

 Tong has been in numerous TVB dramas since 1995, but mostly supporting roles and is mostly cast as a showgirl or "the other woman". After for 10 years, her big break finally came with the TVB series Life Made Simple (阿旺新傳) playing a physically unattractive girl with a heart of gold and a wonderful singing voice called "Lee Siu Ho (李笑好)".

The role won her critical acclaim, winning the Best Supporting Actress award at the TVB 37th Anniversary Awards in November 2005. Her portrayal of Lee Siu Ho was so popular that TVB composed a primetime special called Ho Is Beside You (好在你左右) as well as the 12-episode variety program Always Smiling (笑口常開), both with Angela hosting in character as Lee Siu Ho.

Tong married Chin Ka-lok, who she had been dating for five years, on 13 November 2012, the two becoming the first couple to marry in Ocean Park's panda enclosure. They held a wedding banquet on the 15th, an event attended by many co-stars and colleagues of Hong Kong's entertainment industry. Tong has two daughters, Alyssa and Kassidy.
