To release the taste buds from the heaviness of summer and embrace the breezes of mid-autumn, chef Jackie Fong, the newly appointed executive chef of St. Regis Beijing, is bringing authentic Shunde cuisine to the city's foodies at Celestial Court.
Fong was born and raised in Hong Kong, where he learned traditional Cantonese cuisine, and then he traveled around Asia, learning cooking skills from the Philippines to Vietnam.
He never hides his secret to cooking: "Choose good ingredients and cook with your heart - that's all." He has always shown full respect to local flavors and believes in maintaining traditional cooking methods.
