We are all the more honored to see our vision and commitment to a refined and sustainable cuisine recognized in this way.
I extend my heartfelt thanks to our guests for their loyalty, to my teams who bring our philosophy to life every day, to my partners at Lai Sun Dining—particularly Dr. Peter Lam Kin Ngok—for their trust, and of course, to the MICHELIN Guide for its continued encouragement, which inspires and motivates us.” says Mauro Colagreco
