#2025onwards Heritage is not just about preservation; it is about transmission. One must be willing to teach, and another must be willing to receive. Through this program, rising chefs are being guided by award-winning masters who not only share their skills but also instill the confidence to innovate while honoring tradition. In this way, craftsmanship, cultural pride, and culinary legacy can be carried forward. This is not something achieved in a matter of months—it requires time, commitment, and wholehearted learning. Introducing New Wave Discovery 2025 — a debut mentorship program pairing new wave talents with award-winning masters. ✨ Steven Che (2024 Rising Star Chef, Just Pizza) learns the artistry of Cantonese dim sum under Chef Lai Wei of Lanxuan, Dim Sum Chef of the Year 2024. ✨ Jay Yip (Petite Bao), French cuisine trained, studies the foundations of Cantonese cuisine with Master Chef Andy Liu — who once helmed the iconic Sea Harbour, now Executive Chef of Chucila, and among the few Canadian apprentices of the late “Abalone King” Yeung Koon Yat. More of the future of Chinese cuisine begins here. We will share more of their journey here. #NewWaveDiscovery #Awards16
