Elegant but not Exaggerated – Dragon Seal Restaurant & Bar

Dragon Seal Restaurant & Bar, located in the tallest building in Hong Kong, offers an elegant and refined setting for fine dining experience. The restaurant focuses on food quality rather than extravagant decor. With the leadership of the renowned chef Mr. WONG Wing-chee (also known as “Chee Gor”), the restaurant puts every effort to offer their customers healthy, exquisite and quality dishes.

Mr. WONG Wing-chee, who grew up in a family of great chefs, has received numerous culinary awards with over 30 years of experiences in the catering industry. He is best known for his creativity and clever use of ingredients which enable him to create truly delicious and innovative dishes.

“The majority of our customers come from the business sector who dine out frequently. As many dishes served at local restaurants are oily and fatty, we aim to provide healthy and delectable food options which are also nutritious.” Chee Gor commented. Consumers nowadays become far more health conscious than ever and tend to opt for light and low-fat menu choices. To go with the trend, Chee Gor promotes healthy recipes containing plenty of fruit and vegetables cooked with less oil, salt and sugar to bring out the best to the customers.

“I believe that the quality of a dish is defined not so much by the ingredients but by the chef's thoughtfulness.” If a dish is to be brought out its best flavour and aroma, as well as to be beautifully presented, the chef needs to bear the full knowledge of its ingredients, cooking temperature and cooking time. Everything depends on the skills and talents of the chef.

“The first step in fostering a healthy eating culture in the community is to encourage chefs to change their mindsets in cooking.” Local chefs are influenced by their culinary teachers in terms of ingredient proportion and mix, so they tend to cook with high proportion of meat in rich flavour. To change the old cooking style when preparing the soup base of white gourd soup, Chee Gor adopted a healthy way by using flatfishes, dried shrimps and shrimp shells instead of Chinese ham. The result was equally refreshing and flavourful.

Dragon Seal Restaurant & Bar follows Chee Gor’s persistence in using only the freshest ingredients so as to allow their customers to enjoy nutritious and original-flavoured dishes. The restaurant strives to offer healthy and nutritious dishes to their customers by regularly introducing plain-flavoured dishes prepared mainly with vegetables.
