Sichuan chef sets hot pace in London

At the age of 36, while most in the restaurant trade are still learning, Wang Fei became head chef at an upmarket Chinese restaurant in one of London's most iconic buildings.

Wang believes his skills in cuisine from Sichuan province convinced the restaurant owner he was the man for the job at Hutong, which is on the 33rd floor of The Shard, the 95-story landmark that opened in July 2012.

"In 2017, when I heard Hutong needed a chef, I came over to give it a go," Wang said. "After a few cooking trials in front of the owner and regional managers, they decided to give me the job."
