- VEA co-founder’s unique gastronomy combines Chinese ingredients executed with French flair and finesse
100 Top Tables has awarded restaurateur and chef Vicky Cheng the Best Chef award for 2020 for his pioneering contemporary “ChineseXFrench” cuisine. Cheng’s unique gastronomy combines Chinese ingredients executed with French flair and finesse. And his innovative dishes just keep getting better.
The co-founder of VEA Restaurant and Lounge, Cheng has been wowing diners with his unique cuisine since 2015.
“‘ChineseXFrench’ is a term we settled on when we first opened the restaurant as this truly describes my cuisine, where I take traditional French cooking techniques and combine them with Chinese ingredients, philosophies and modern Chinese cooking techniques,” Cheng says.
“Growing up, I’ve always loved French cuisine but lately I’ve developed a love of Chinese cuisine as I feel it’s very inspiring and there is so much to learn,” Cheng says.
“It is also a great way to gather a larger group of people for great conversation with family who are good friends.”
