Chef Kit Yau Kit-piu has spent 30 years in professional kitchens, rising from apprentice in 1995 to Executive Chef at Kowloon Shangri-La, Hong Kong. A decorated competition chef and recognised ‘Cantonese Culinary Master’ by the World Culinary Master Association, he continually upgrades his skills, blending solid traditional training with Chinese‑Western fusion and modern techniques to create refined, memorable dishes.
I got into hotel kitchens by a stroke of luck, then realised how little I knew. So I went back to school – VTC and the Chinese Culinary Institute in Pokfulam – working by day and studying by night, for more than ten years.
