SINGAPORE, July 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Ritz-Carlton, Singapore signature
Cantonese restaurant, Summer Pavilion has earned its first
Michelin Star in the inaugural
Michelin Guide Singapore 2016. It is the only Chinese
restaurant in a hotel in Singapore
to receive this accolade.
"I am thrilled that Summer Pavilion has garnered a one-star
rating from the world-renowned Michelin Guide, an achievement that
demonstrates our commitment to culinary excellence in a city that
is well known as a gourmand's paradise. This recognition would not
have been possible without our Ladies and Gentlemen in the
restaurant operations and culinary teams, who are dedicated towards
crafting a memorable and exceptional dining experience for all our
guests," said Peter Mainguy, General
Manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore.
Chef Cheung Siu Kong has been
with the restaurant since 2003. In 2014, he was appointed Chinese
Executive Chef and underwent a relentless drive toward culinary
perfection to propel the restaurant to Michelin heights. Following
an extensive transformation in late 2015, Summer Pavilion became a
contemporary restaurant with six exquisite private dining
rooms.
"My cooking philosophy is simple. I believe that the key to
creating authentic Cantonese dishes is through modest cooking
techniques which bring out the natural flavours of the ingredients.
Having been in the industry for more than 25 years, my passion is
fueled whenever I see the smiles on the faces of guests after they
taste my creations," said Chef Cheung.
In celebration of winning this prestigious accolade, Summer
Pavilion has launched special menus which feature some of Chef
Cheung's signature dishes. These include the barbecued Iberico pork
with honey sauce, marinated South African abalone with roasted
sesame dressing, double-boiled sea whelk soup with fish maw and
chicken served in a whole coconut, poached rice with lobster and
sautéed diced Japanese wagyu beef.
