A view from the top

Hello,

Hong Kong has many reasons to be proud when it comes to our unique food culture, and one of them is undeniably present in the form of Danny Yip, the founder of The Chairman and the newest honouree of the Icon Award from Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2024. Following the announcement, we spoke to him to get the lowdown on what it takes to be a thought leader in Asian cuisine, the importance of keeping a low profile and sticking to your guns, and—most importantly—how to snag a coveted booking at his restaurant. 

Also this week, get to know more about Lindsay Jang's new restaurant project, find out what's going on at Rosewood Hong Kong's fifth anniversary, and see our recommendations for where Taylor Swift should eat in Singapore.
