Kelvin Au Yeung

At a glance

Culinary director of Jade Dragon. He progressed within the restaurant from its opening team to culinary director, working with Cantonese traditions and modern presentation rather than replacing the cuisine’s foundations.[1]

Cooking & identity

Clear soups, Cantonese roasting and seafood cookery sit alongside precise modern plating. Its 2026 Chao Shang Chao dinner offers a useful comparison with Teochew methods.[2] [3]

Why this profile is included

Included for a documented Cantonese–Teochew co-creation in Macau, a multi-kitchen Hong Kong exchange and an older Singapore guest-chef visit—not solely for a guide ranking.[4] [3] [5] [6]
