Two of my students presented an “updated” version of dim sum and snacks yesterday. Call me biased but it was a yummy-licious lunch. The amount of thought and effort put into these morsels was evident; with the layering of flavours coming through delicately. Kudos to their dim sum assistants too. One of them even said to me, “each time... More

When it comes to collaborations, Danny Yip, the man behind The Chairman, always does it right—and great. Because he takes each and every one of these events seriously.
