Executive Chinese Chef Jayson Tang Ka-ho grew up immersed in the rhythms of Cantonese cooking, helping at his father’s dai pai dong and watching elders prepare meals at family gatherings. That early exposure shaped the emotional core of his culinary journey. In 2016, at just 29, he became one of the youngest Executive Chinese Chefs in the city when he was appointed to lead Man Ho Chinese Restaurant as well as Chinese banquet at JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong. Today, in the same role, he ensures his dishes reflect creativity, warmth and consistency.
Watching family elders cook showed me the warmth and emotion that food brings.
