ASIA
Three distinguished honours to celebrate the visionaries shaping Asia’s Chinese culinary world
– Dim Sum Chef of the Year –
Zeng Xian-Xin
DeChu. Guangzhou
The Master Behind Closed Doors
For most of Guangzhou, De Chu remains an enigma. Hidden in Yuexiu District, the private kitchen has operated quietly for over thirteen years, never publicly advertised, welcoming only the friends of Chef Xian-xin Zeng and his longtime patrons. Yet among insiders, De Chu has become legendary—favoured by film directors, business magnates, and seasoned gourmets alike—for one reason: the presence of “Xin Ge,” a master whose life has been devoted to dim sum and the broader craft of Cantonese cuisine.+++ DISCOVER CHEF
