Celebrating Cantonese fare

Jiang by Chef Fei at the Mandarin Oriental in Guangzhou may have just received two Michelin stars, but the restaurant is not in the business of resting on its laurels, Li Yingxue reports.

Last June, when the first edition of the Guangzhou Michelin Guide was released, eight restaurants were awarded one star each. However on July 16, when the second edition was released, 12 stars were given out but only one restaurant received two - Cantonese cuisine restaurant Jiang by Chef Fei.

The synopsis for the restaurant in the guide reads: "At the Mandarin Oriental's upscale Chinese restaurant, the chef creates innovative dishes with Japanese and Western inflections based on traditional Cantonese cooking techniques."
