Additionally, Fiz and Seroja were recognized with Green Stars for their commitment to sustainability, while Jing Ting Wan's Joe Yang won the Sommelier Award, promoting Chinese wines.

This is my first overseas star. My aim is to bring authentic Chinese cuisine, especially Cantonese flavours, to local diners through high-quality service.
