"TV may well have changed the life of Hongkong chef, Louis Tam, who helms Chōwa. Despite his extensive experience of Western cuisine and stints in Asia, he actually started exploring Franco-Japanese fusion cooking because of a Japanese drama series on TV. The seasonal 6- and 8-course tasting menus embody his vision and everything is made from scratch: the sauces, pickles and bread, even the plum wine. Ask about wine and sake pairing." - Michelin Inspector
"From the outside, this stylish restaurant looks like a piece of avant-garde art. On the inside, the theatrically lit interior exudes understated luxe. Here, classic Hunanese dishes are given a new spin with haute cuisine precision and artistic plating. Highlights include stir-fried Hunanese dried pork with garlic sprouts and bamboo shoot, and braised goose web and Sri Lankan crab in ginger chili sauce." - Michelin Inspector
