Executive Chef Yau Kit-piu - Melding Tradition and Innovation with Over 30 Years of Expertise
Executive Chef Yau Kit-piu boasts over 30 years of extensive culinary experience. He began his career as an apprentice in 1995 and gradually ascended to the position of Executive Chef at the hotel. Chef Yau has also been recognized by the World Culinary Awards as a Master of Cantonese Cuisine.

Café Kool — Featuring Three Renowned Chefs for an Extraordinary Buffet Experience
Café Kool will gather three star chefs from different districts throughout 16 to 31 March, each showcasing their signature creations, allowing guests to experience Hong Kong’s culinary culture in a buffet setting. The first featured chef is Chef Chan Kei-ying from Shun De Kung Seafood Restaurant, who was inspired by his childhood watching his father prepare freshwater fish with remarkable skill. This inherited wisdom, combined with his professional training at the Chinese Culinary Institute, has enabled him to masterfully control the cooking of seafood. Chef Chan will present two classic dishes, including the Fish Head Soup infused with Tianma and Chuanxiong, which provides a warm and nutritious experience; and the Bronze-Plated Steamed Chicken that retains the chicken's juicy tenderness thanks to the even heat distribution of the traditional bronze plate.
Another highlight features Chef Lam Sam-muk. With extensive experience and awards from various culinary competitions, he integrates competition-level skills into everyday dishes. His creative dish, Herbal Crispy Scallops, inspired by the traditional Sichuan rice crust, this dish combines refined Chinese cooking techniques with a modern twist. Spinach sauce lends a fresh, vibrant note, while Japanese wasabi enhances the flavour. The scallops are pan-seared to lock in their natural sweetness, resulting in a layered taste and delightfully crisp texture. The Fried Mussels inspired by the Hong Kong style typhoon shelter crab with a fragrant stir-fry of fermented black beans, garlic, and chili showcases plump, juicy mussels with delightful wok hei.
No Hong Kong local bites would be completed without cart noodles, presented by Chef Lai Kwan-fai, the Executive Chef from “Saint Noodles”. Having apprenticed at the Gloucester Luk Kwok Hong Kong, he is also a winner of the Gold Award at the Hong Kong International Culinary Awards within the Asia Top International Catering and Hotel Equipment Expo. With years of expertise, he elevates street food to new heights. This special offering includes Swiss Chicken Wings slow-cooked in traditional Swiss sauce, glistening and flavorful; delicate and tender Pig's Blood; sweet and melt-in-your-mouth radish absorbing rich broth flavors; spicy and appetizing Fried Minced Meat; aromatic Curry Squid with a delightful chew; and flavorful Braised Chicken Feet for diverse palates.
