Executive Chef

Kwok Keung Tung

Kwok Keung Tung, the executive chef at The Chairman, brings decades of expertise in Cantonese cuisine, focusing on labor-intensive traditional recipes and innovative uses of local, seasonal ingredients sourced from Hong Kong's markets and the restaurant's own farm in Sheung Shui; his signature dishes, like the steamed flowery crab with aged Shaoxing wine, showcase his mastery of subtle flavors and sustainability. Danny Yip, the owner and founder, a former tech entrepreneur and restaurateur from Australia, opened The Chairman in 2009 after returning to Hong Kong, driven by a passion to revive authentic Cantonese fine dining with fresh, eco-friendly ingredients and no MSG; Yip's vision emphasizes creativity within tradition, earning him the Woodford Reserve Icon Award 2024 for his contributions to Asian gastronomy.
