I will always be thankful that Cantonese restaurant Wing Lei Palace is the first stop of the three-day Wynn Culinary Arts Journey organised by Wynn Palace Cotai and Wynn Macau.
After a four-hour plane ride and an hour on the ferry from Hong Kong International Airport to Taipa Ferry Terminal in Macau, a homey meal without bells and whistles is the order of the day. And that’s exactly what Wing Lei Palace’s Executive Chef Tam Kwok Fung delivers with his straightforward menu (read: no superfluous dry-ice effects or fanciful plating) prepared with the freshest ingredients at their seasonal best.
Our summery double-boiled winter melon soup with sweet king crab meat, for instance, comes with sprinkles of tonkin jasmine for an extra dose of subtle sweetness. “Tonkin jasmine flowers are rarely used in Chinese cooking,” chef Tam shares. “I discovered them when I was working in Thailand and found that they worked well in soups.”
The jovial chef, who has more than 30 years of culinary experience at top hotels and had helmed Macau’s two-Michelin-starred Jade Dragon for six years before joining Wing Lei Palace last July, clearly loves delighting his guests. While his focus is on coaxing the best out of fresh premium ingredients, he throws the occasional creative curveball to keep things interesting.
