Inspired by the 24 solar terms of traditional Chinese wisdom that govern the minute changes in temperature and humidity, Chef Tam introduces the latest culinary concept at Wynn Palace
Wynn Palace is proud to present Chef Tam’s Seasons. The brand new conceptual restaurant is inspired by the 24 solar terms of Chinese traditional wisdom. Taking the helm of the new restaurant is Wynn’s Cantonese Master Chef Tam Kwok-Fung. Chef Tam revitalizes Cantonese cuisine by matching global ingredients with contemporary culinary techniques, complete with a food and nourishment philosophy that pays homage to seasonality.
Executive Chef Tam Kwok-Fung is revered around the world for his award-winning Cantonese cuisine, with accolades such as Michelin stars and placement on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, as well as being Macau’s first recipient of the Chef of the Year honour at the Black Pearl Restaurant Guide in 2023. Throughout his career, he has also served a number of dignitaries, from politicians to royalty.
Adopting a theme that coincides with Wynn Palace’s all-season blooms, Chef Tam’s Seasons captures the joy of refined Cantonese gastronomy with premium seasonal ingredients. This new establishment is proof of Chef Tam’s versatility to highlight and elevate his prowess in the Cantonese kitchen, as the chef and his experienced team have designed menus that pay homage to Chinese traditional wisdom in health and gastronomy. Inspired by the 24 solar terms where the availability of ingredients is highly seasonal and often fleeting, Chef Tam is adamant in preserving the spirit of the micro-changes of climate in each season that are iconic to Cantonese cuisine.
