The Chef

Executive chef Ho Wai Sing, who helms the kitchen, is to thank for the top-notch Cantonese cuisine. Born in Shunde, an area in southern China renowned for its food, the talented chef brings authentic Cantonese flavors from his hometown to this Hong Kong restaurant.
Ho has represented Hong Kong’s culinary scene on the international stage. In 2012, he participated in a culinary excursion in Bordeaux and Paris to promote Cantonese cuisine.
Reflecting his passion for celebrating time-honored Cantonese recipes, Ho regularly creates special menus featuring traditional dishes, from abalone and double-boiled fish maw soup to claypot rice and snake soup.
Attention to detail is a hallmark of the chef’s style. He once prepared a 10-course lobster set menu using only crustaceans he hand-selected and makes condiments like the restaurant’s signature XO sauce in-house to ensure quality.
