orian Ho may currently be making waves in t surpr D isingly affable about having to wait while the staff industry but it certainly hasn’t gone to his hea shows up at Cuisine Cuisine sans entourage an about setting the perfect spot for the photo shoot. He o the conversation with the topic du jour, food:“I’m starvi been working non-stop all day and haven’t had time to e I’m so happy that I get to enjoy food from one of my fa restaurants in town.” So what’s the appeal of Cuisine Cuisine? “I love to eat of food but as a Chinese, every time my friends come to v would like them to try the local Cantonese food. Howeve like traditional Cantonese food, I like healthy food. Cuisin fits the bill perfectly. “The food here is quite healthy and also unusual in its presentation. I guess because I’m a fashion designer I’m q particular and I think the presentation is very important, i just the taste.The appetite is stimulated when you look at have a particular fondness for fusion food and I love how Cuisine mixes traditional elements of Cantonese food wit contemporary flair” Ho’s favourite dish is the sauteed assorted seafood on t boat. Unlike traditional boats that are normally made out fried taro, the boat is made out of cod fish.The entire dish out of seafood, with the flag being a thin crispy mesh of fi pièce de résistance has been selected to enter the Hong K Tourism Board’s Best of the Best Culinary Awards in prev “The presentation of the fish boat is exquisite and the seaf fresh,” Ho says. “I don’t eat beef or lamb in general and tend to enjoy the most. I find seafood very healthy and nowadays peopl very health conscious. It’s very important to have good-q ingredients in the dishes, which is why I think this dish is In general, I’d rather spend more money on food to get a quality dish, because that’s what you are putting inside your body.” Reflecting Ho’s philosophy of accepting only the best, Cuisine Cuisine sources the freshest premium produce; seafood is delivered daily and ingredients are mainly organic, so diners are guaranteed only the healthiest flavours. One little known fact about Cuisine Cuisine is that the kitchen makes its own soy sauce. Using natural Canadian soybeans, sun-dried and brewed without the addition of colouring and preservatives, Cuisine Cuisine creates a soy sauce that complements every dish, from fresh seafood to dim sum.

The ambience and environment of Cuisine Cuisine is also a deciding factor in Ho’s preference for the restaurant.The high ceilings, elegant decor and stunning harbour views soothe him. “I love the outdoors and dining al fresco.There aren’t many places in Hong Kong that allow you to eat outside.Although Cuisine Cuisine is an indoor establishment, the view and large windows give me a feeling of being outside. I can just stay here all day and stare at the view. It’s very inspiring and, as a designer, inspiration is the most important facet of our creations.”

executive chef chan kam-shing Executive Chef Chan Kam-shing counts among his many awards the prestigious international accolade of Chef Rotisseurs from the Chaine des Rotisseurs. Despite having entered the field over 30 years ago, Chan’s interest in cooking has not subsided. His belief that good dishes are created from the chef’s heart still stands true today. “When coming up with new dishes, I like to sample other chefs’ cuisine and for any that catch my eye, I will redesign the presentation and tailor the dish to our clientele, who tend to like simple flavours with not much oil. What’s unique about Cuisine Cuisine is that we combine traditional Cantonese cuisine with Western presentation.”
