Chung Rotterdam

The culinary philosophy of Chef Chung Wai Liu is a sophisticated thesis on the fusion of Asian heritage and European technical discipline in Rotterdam. His signature Peking duck is a masterclass in roasting; the skin is lacquered to a mahogany sheen and a glass-like crunch, while the meat remains succulent and infused with five-spice. It is served with delicate pancakes and a house-made hoisin that carries a deep, fermented complexity. The poached cod is equally impressive, resting in a pool of clarified chicken broth and coconut milk that provides a tropical, aromatic lift. The aroma of ginger, star anise, and lemongrass defines the experience, creating a sensory bridge between Rotterdam and the East. Texture is managed with extreme care, from the silky flakes of the fish to the crisp, pickled vegetables that provide a bright, acidic counterpoint. This is a refined, Michelin-selected destination where the boundaries of tradition are pushed through innovative pairings.
