Tam Kwok Fung

Macau

← Back to directory

A researched professional record. Inclusion does not confirm representation, availability or interest in a new project.

At a glance

Executive chef of Chef Tam’s Seasons. His career connects Hong Kong and Bangkok Cantonese kitchens, Jade Dragon in Macau and Wynn Palace. The record documents repeated hosting, international guest appearances and food-and-drink collaborations.[1] [2] [3]

Cooking & identity

Seasonal Cantonese cooking changes with the microseasons; tea and Chinese wine form part of the wider experience. Collaborations range from other Chinese regional cuisines to Korean, Japanese and European kitchens.[4] [5]

Why this profile is included

Included for repeated, named collaboration records: the announced 2024 Taïrroir exchange, reported 2025 Born & Bred and 2026 Narisawa projects, and the announced 2026 Shanghai Cantonese–Ningbo–Teochew programme. The full timeline retains older history and distinguishes announcements from retrospective reporting.[6] [7] [8] [9]
