The Metropark Hotel Wanchai Hong Kong has revamped its popular Le Chef restaurant following a significant renovation. The new space now has an intimate contemporary décor with an exciting “fusion” menu that is complemented by a wine pairing menu created by acclaimed guest sommelier, Eric Kwok.
Located in the heart of Hong Kong’s fashionable Wanchai commercial district, Le Chef focuses on traditional Asian and Western dishes imbued with inventive flair. The new menu reflects Senior Sous Chef Rick Kwan’s penchant for hearty, great-tasting global food, including entrées, crudités, pastas, Asian platters and desserts. Each dish is delightfully presented as a piece of culinary art.
Chef Kwan grew up learning the art of fine Chinese cuisine from his father who was also a chef, and is inspired by him to always add creativity to traditional dishes. During his career working for highly regarded global hotels and restaurants, Chef Kwan has become passionate about combining flavours, ingredients and cooking methods from both Western and Eastern cuisines. This dedication to ‘global cuisine’ is showcased in Le Chef’’s signature dishes, including Fresh Oyster Cappuccino; Sea Urchin and Shell Fish Jelly in Botan Ebi Tartare; Tofu in Kimchi Sauce with Sakura Shrimp; Pan Seared Mandarin Fish Fillet in Ginger Soya Sauce served with Bean Sprouts, Sugar Snap Peas and Lotus Root; and Australia Roast Lamb Loin in Mint Jus. Delicious desserts include Poached Pear in Red Wine with Belgium White Chocolate Mousse.
Fine wines are another impressive feature of the new Le Chef. Award winning sommelier, Eric Kwok has selected six exclusive wines to complement the exquisite fusion cuisine from a cellar that is crammed with top labels. The six specialist wines – Casablanca Sparkling Brut; Two Tails Sauvignon Blanc 2008; Belgravia "The Apex" Chardonnay 2008; Ferngrove Symbols Shiraz Viognier 2007; Comte d'A 2007; and Tamaya Late Harvest Sweet Goat 2009, exclusively available at Le Chef, will be served by the glass or bottle. Kwok will also host a monthly wine pairing dinner on the last Friday of every month featuring his own selection of fine wine complementing the special creation of Chef Kwan.
Kwok’s career spans years working in several five-star hotels and he has been a member of the Hong Kong Sommeliers Association since 1998. He won the Champion Wine Sommelier Competition in Hong Kong three times between 1997 and 2004, and represented Hong Kong at the World Wine Sommelier Competition in Greece in 2004, reaching the semi-final.
“We are very proud to open the stunning new Le Chef restaurant, which we believe is a significant addition to the Wanchai dining scene,” says Evan Chiu, General Manager, Metropark Hotel Wanchai Hong Kong.
“We have invested over half a million HK dollars to create a unique culinary venue to delight both our international hotel guests and loyal diners. We are sure that everyone who eats at Le Chef will be hugely impressed by Chef Kwan’s superlative cuisine and Sommelier Kwok’s superb selection of fine wines.”
Cutting-edge technology is also a feature of Le Chef, with all menus delivered to diners on an iPad, rather than in the traditional printed format. The iPad menu features the restaurant’s signature dishes and tailored wine cellar collection, plus details about the restaurant and hotel facilities, and information about the latest scene of the Hong Kong life.
