Watch out, foodies! Michelin Guide Hong Kong Macau Kicks off Chef Showcase Series

You are a foodie and planning a trip to Hong Kong or Macau? Watch out: The MICHELIN guide Hong Kong Macau Dining Series has embarked 2018 with a new format of its annual International Chef Showcase (ICS).

The line up of unique four-hands culinary collaborations will be in store for gourmet and fine wine aficionados, and kicking off this year’s ICS in March will be two of the most sought-after culinary stars in the region – Hong Kong born Chef Vicky Cheng from one-MICHELIN-starred VEA Restaurant & Lounge of Hong Kong, and veteran Cantonese chef Tam Kwong Fung from two-MICHELIN-starred Jade Dragon at City of Dreams, Macau.

Representing their respective restaurants, Chef Tam and Chef Vicky will work together to present a special 4-course lunch and an 8-course dinner for discerning guests, paired with excellent wines handpicked by Robert Parker Wine Advocate. Their exquisite joint menus will first be showcased at VEA Restaurant & Lounge from March 7-8 (Wed-Thurs), followed by at Jade Dragon in the City of Dreams integrated resort from March 9-10 (Fri-Sat).

Chef Showcase Series: Vicky Cheng

With his Cantonese roots and background in classical French culinary training, Vicky Cheng has pioneered the art of Chinese X French cuisine. Dishes such as the Wagyu Beef Shortrib with shiitake and daikon is a stunning testament to his ability to seamlessly weave together multiple cultures on a plate. While meticulously applying French gastronomic techniques of great precision and finesse, he pays homage to his home town and heritage by using authentic and seasonal products particularly from Hong Kong and Asia. For him, the dream collaboration has always been with a Chinese-trained chef of Tam’s incredible calibre.

Chef Showcase Series: Tam Kwok Fung

With over three decades of international experience in Cantonese fine dining, Chef Tam Kwok Fung helms the kitchen of multi-award-winning Jade Dragon. One of the leading figures in Macau’s flourishing fine dining scene, his extraordinary culinary creations give way to an opulent gastronomic experience of reinvigorated Cantonese cuisine. Chef Tam’s dedication to producing the most authentic flavours in his dishes is apparent by his use of the finest produce and skilled execution of technical culinary traditions. Chef Tam expertly blends western techniques to reinvent traditional regional Chinese dishes, such as the exquisite Chilled Abalone with mustard seed and wasabi, paired with chilled cherry tomato marinated with avocado oil and plum wine jelly.
