About Chef Charles Cheung
A native Cantonese who possesses more than 40 years of experience with Chinese cuisine, Chef Charles’ passion for cooking was sparked early on at home. At 17, he honed his culinary skills while working in the finest Cantonese restaurants in Hong Kong, and his passion grew into an obsession to showcase the best of the cuisine. Chef Charles then took up a key role at East Ocean Gourmet Group, a well-established culinary legend in Hong Kong, where he met his mentor – master of Cantonese cuisine, Chef Chung Kam, and it was then that Chef Cheung developed further appreciation for the heritage of exquisite Cantonese cuisine. With his wealth of experience, Chef Cheung has been mesmerizing guests at Zi Yat Heen of Four Seasons Hotel Macao, with refined Cantonese classics that stay true to the essence of the cuisine.
