I usually use healthy ingredients such as wild rice, fungus, mushrooms, and herbals, and some special ingredients from Hong Kong, such as the dried sea cucumber, abalone, and bird’s nests.

 

What would you like to tell people when they are eating your food?

I normally tell that we provide traditional Cantonese food. They don’t need to fly to Hong Kong to get to taste this authentic cuisine, just go to Lung Hin, Marco Polo Ortigas Manila. I like sharing how to cook the dishes, the history of the cuisine and the stories behind it.
