The new regional Chinese restaurant is headed by a team of experienced chefs led by chef Ki Pak Chan, formerly at Wynn Macau’s Wing Lei; Lee Chi-Kwong, formerly of Mongkok’s Chuan Palace, and chef Saito Chau of Maximal Concepts’ John Anthony. Together the trio will present a vibrant selection of Cantonese and regional Chinese dishes, seafood dishes and contemporary dim sum. Notable highlights from the restaurant’s menu include beetroot and wild mushroom dumplings; kimchi radish cake; steamed Shanghainese dumpling with spicy soup; black truffle crispy chicken with chive sauce and Sichuan style lobster and tofu.
