FANFARE - the importance of The Chairman in Hong Kong

The Chairman is a produce driven, organic focused and intellectual Cantonese restaurant opened in 2009 in Central, Hong Kong. The owner Danny Yip is a low-profile food maestro who favours quality, local and seasonal produce over fancy ingredients, as evidenced by The Chairman’s culinary philosophy.

This year it has earned the number 1 spot in the World’s 50 Best Asia title, and this is an important step towards mainstream media noticing the nuance, diligent and intelligent hard work of Chinese restaurants in Asia.

If you ever get there the tasting menu is a must, a study of subtly and refinement, and don’t forget to order this amazing steamed flower crab dish when in season.
