Encore: Sichuan Spices Dinner with Chef Deng
Sichuan cuisine has a reputation for only being hot and spicy, but the reality is not the case. Sichuan native and acclaimed Chef Deng Huadong has spent his career debunking the myth and and demonstrating the wide use of fresh ingredients and variety of flavours and tastes in Sichuan dishes.
Slow Food Hong Kong presented Chef Deng in an exquisite and exclusive dinner in fall 2017 that sold out in one week. Due to overwhelming interest, we are hosting another event in 2018. A completely new menu will be offered, and Chef Deng will be on hand again to explain and elaborate on Sichuan cuisine’s history and tradition. Contrary to popular belief, the food is not all about spiciness. There are different layers of tastes and uses of Mala peppers.
Chef Deng has been instrumental in popularizing Sichuan cuisine among international visitors. So reputable is Chef Deng that when Joël Robuchon opened his first L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon in Shanghai China, he visited only one Chinese restaurant – Chef Deng’s. The Shanghai-based, Chengdu raised Chef Deng has been operating Deng G Shanghai since 2002. In September 2016, he teamed up with Hong Kong restaurateur, Paul Hsu of Elite Concepts, to open Deng G Bistro & Baiju Bar in Hong Kong.
