The Chairman
Modern Cantonese
Steamed flowery crab with aged Shaoxing wine and chicken oil is the dish people wait months to book for, and the wait list is, by all accounts, a genuine obstacle. The Chairman is a Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant that holds the number one spot on Asia's 50 Best and sits inside the World's 50 Best. The cooking updates classic Cantonese with new recipes built on old foundations, and the room runs quietly, without theatrics, which somehow makes it feel more serious.
