A Life in Full Flame:

Three Master Chefs and the Spirit of Devotion

Roots, Fire, Future 香港廚師陳潔盈 ArChan Chan, 潘婷儀 Theign Phan, 林陽 Jack Lam

Three chefs. Three journeys. One quietly powerful transformation of Chinese cuisine in Hong Kong.

Through years of experience—much of it in Australian kitchens—and long detours through other cuisines, these three Hong Kong-based chefs circled back to Chinese food with new eyes and quieter intentions.
Today, ArChan Chan, Theign Phan, and Jack Lam each lead some of Hong Kong’s most distinctive Chinese kitchens. And while their flavours vary—Cantonese, Sichuanese, Hokkien—their intentions are aligned: to bring depth to tradition, and clarity to innovation.
