Tong CHENG - From Deals to Meals
Tong CHENG - From Deals to Meals Tony CHENG tried his hand at cooking for the first time when he was studying in the UK. He became so fascinated with cooking that he decided to enrol in a culinary programme. Tony said, “I believe that food quality should always come first. Quality dishes start with quality Ingredients. There is no need to add too much flavour enhancers.

Tony said, "European home-style cooking is my favourite. Though home-style dishes may be less elegant than those served at fine dining restaurants, they give you a distinctive flavour and unique charm. I like to add some fine and exotic Ingredients in traditional recipes. An example is 'Black Truffle with Home-made Egg Bean Curds', which combines the culinary delights of the East and West."

Tong CHENG - From Deals to Meals Tony said, "I think that Hong Kong people should also need to be more vigilant about what they are going to eat. By using high quality Ingredients and appropriate Cooking Methods, you are probably very close to healthy eating. When cooking pasta, for example, you can add olive oil, garlic and a little bit of pepper instead of butter and heavy cream. It is equally delicious."
