Gold winner Hoi Tong is “like something out of a movie. Here’s a chef in his 70s who cooks for the sheer love of food, in a restaurant acknowledged by other Chinese chefs to be the best. Braised pork hock with dried plums, taro root with duck, salt-baked chicken, and bitter-melon omelette are all outstanding.”

Honourable mentions to Golden Paramount and Dynasty Seafood.
