Starting from July, The Chef's Table at the Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Kowloon East will launch a new buffet dinner featuring the spicy flavours of Singaporean-Malaysian cuisine. Therefore, we invited Bryan Chan, the Executive Chef, to demonstrate the making of the "Black Fungus and Chicken Salad, Penang Style". The hot and sour taste is just right for summer, stimulating everyone's taste buds.
