China's Michelin First

From The Times of London: Chan Yan Tak has become the first Chinese chef to win three Michelin stars. Undercover Michelin judges dined 12 times at Chan’s Cantonese restaurant, Lung King Heen (View of the Dragon), at the Four Seasons in Hong Kong. Lung King Heen was the highest ranked of the 40 restaurants in Hong Kong and Macau that earned stars in Michelin’s new regional guide. Tak’s specialty is lobster and scallop dumplings, but his restaurant offers more than 133 dishes, including hot and sour shark-fin soup. A spokesman for the inspectors said, “We have followed him [Tak] for a few years, actually for ten years.” For his part, Chan was “excited, shocked, and happy for my team.”
