4th Anniversary Dinner Celebration

For the memorable occasion, Vicky Cheng, the chef-owner of the Hong Kong-based VEA and Wing, will join Hiroyasu Kawate, the executive chef of Florilège in Tokyo and consulting chef of innovative Shiroux at Halekulani, to present a sumptuous four-hands dinner.

With an unshakable belief in food as a universal language, Vicky Cheng is dedicated to reimagining East-West fusion in culinary arts. This relentless quest came into fruition in 2015 when he opened VEA to instant success. His next venture Wing, a refined Chinese restaurant opened in 2021, is ranked 37th on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list for 2023. At Wing, Vicky spearheads the modern transformation of the Eight Great Chinese Cuisine without losing a pinch of authenticity. The result is an enticing rebirth of traditional dishes, marked by a mastery of skills and best-in-class ingredients with a creative edge.

Hiroyasu Kawate has catapulted SHIROUX to international fame since the opening of Halekulani Okinawa. He unleashes his culinary ingenuity on local ingredients, such as Okinawan mugwort herb, seaweed, and chilli pepper, to create an 'old is new' menu infused with French influences. Spurred by his innovative take on gastronomic creation, Hiroyasu Kawate crafts a myriad of new dishes that offer an exclusive and unforgettable dining experience through his "Chef's Omakase Courses".

Be inspired by the epic four-hands dinner brought to life by two legendary chefs only at Halekulani Okinawa, as part of the 4th anniversary celebration of the ultra-luxury resort destination.
