Preceding Margaret River Gourmet Escape and the much anticipated arrival of Heston Blumenthal and other International celebrity chefs, Crown Perth is proud to announce esteemed Michelin Star Chef Tam will kick off this gourmet month as he visits the resort from Friday, 1 November.

As City of Dreams’ Executive Chinese Chef, Master Chef Tam Kwok Fung leads the team at the celebrated Chinese restaurant, Jade Dragon at City of Dreams, Macau and was invited into the Silks kitchen earlier this year to join culinary forces with Head Chef Pat Cheong for the launch of Crown Perth’s premier Chinese restaurant Silks.

The duo collaborated on the Silks menu, signifying Crown Perth’s single-minded objective to provide the best Chinese cuisine in Perth.

With more than 30 years experience in Cantonese fine dining, Chef Tam has influenced Chef Cheong and the interpretation of the Silks menu, with Chef Cheong having recently completed a mentorship in Macau under Chef Tam. Chef Tam also sent four of his Jade Dragon kitchen team to Crown Perth for a pre-opening ‘Tour of Duty’ and they have since become a permanent part of the Silks team, producing exquisite Cantonese dishes and regional specialties.

Chef Tam will be at Crown Perth for four days only cooking for a contingent of International VIP guests and also revisiting the Silks menu with Chef Cheong – he will also have the opportunity to try West Australian fresh produce at its very best.

Chief Operating Officer – Hotels & Entertainment Andrew Hill said, “We are constantly looking at ways of promoting Crown Perth and Western Australia in key South Eastern Asian markets. The collaboration between Silks Head Chef Cheong and Jade Dragon’s Chef Tam exemplifies one of our key partnerships with China, which is an important tourism market.”
