Longyue, a Michelin chef's dream team, collaborates to create authentic Cantonese delicacies.
Auto-TranslationAt the end of 2021, Michelin two-star chef Hsiao Chien Ming was invited to Taipei to lead his elite team of Hong Kong chefs. Leveraging their years of exceptional culinary expertise, they came together to helm the newly opened Chinese restaurant "Longyue," introducing a series of tantalizing authentic Cantonese dishes that revive the classic flavors of Hong Kong cherished by food lovers.
Chef Hsiao Chien Ming, with nearly 60 years of culinary experience, stepped into the kitchen at the age of 14, apprenticing under Executive Chef Lo On at the Hong Kong luxury restaurant "Fook Lam Moon." He earned a Michelin star for the City Garden Hotel in Hong Kong in 2008 and then achieved two Michelin stars for his Cantonese restaurant in Shanghai in 2016. His connection with Taipei's "Longyue" began in Shanghai.
Frank Liu, the founder of "Longyue," is also the owner of the French restaurant "Orchid by Nobu Lee." After tasting Chef Hsiao's Cantonese dishes in Shanghai in 2018, he couldn't forget the experience and eventually made a special effort to invite him to open a branch in Taiwan. The condition was that Chef Hsiao would bring his own team along.
At "Longyue," there are five highly skilled Hong Kong chefs, with Chef Hsiao serving as Culinary Director, overseeing both Shanghai and Taipei operations. The Executive Chef at "Longyue," 56-year-old Hu Fu-Chun, comes from a family of restaurateurs and was trained at Fook Lam Moon like Chef Hsiao. The two have worked together almost since childhood. Hu possesses traditional Cantonese culinary skills and excels in controlling heat, with a career that spans high-end hotels and restaurants in locations including Tokyo, Nagoya, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.
Executive Sous Chef Zhang Yi-Chi from Macau joined the industry at 18 and is skilled in Cantonese cuisine, particularly in the art of knife work and stir-frying, with a good understanding of Taiwanese ingredients and culinary culture. The essential components of Cantonese cuisine, "dim sum" and "roast meats," are managed by Chef Huang Wei-Ming, an expert in various dim sum dishes, and Chef Ren Bao-Sheng, who trained under Chef Hsiao, with each boasting over 40 years of culinary experience.
