  • Exposure to premium Asian or modern Chinese culinary concepts
  • Background in restaurants known for refined service, premium ingredients, and elevated guest experiences

Career Highlights (Desired)
  • Led openings, relaunches, or concept upgrades for luxury dining restaurants
  • Designed menus combining traditional Chinese foundations with modern techniques
  • Mastery of high-profile dishes such as Beijing Duck, premium dim sum, satay-style skewers, and XO-inspired seafood
  • Built and mentored elite culinary brigades
  • Managed sourcing of specialty and premium Chinese ingredients
  • Delivered strong results while maintaining luxury standards and commercial discipline

Requirements
  • Minimum 10-15 years of professional culinary experience in high-end or luxury dining environments, with a strong focus on modern Chinese cuisine
  • 5-7 years in senior kitchen leadership roles such as Head Chef, Executive Sous Chef, or Senior Sous Chef
  • Proven background in premium or fine-dining Chinese restaurants, delivering elevated guest experiences
  • Advanced expertise in traditional Chinese cooking techniques with a modern, contemporary execution style
  • Exceptional wok mastery, including high-heat control, seasoning balance, and speed of execution
  • Strong command of dim sum, dumplings, bao, handmade noodles, and roasted specialties
  • Demonstrated ability in menu development, seasonal innovation, and creation of signature dishes
  • High-level understanding of luxury plating, presentation, and dish consistency
  • Experience managing large, multicultural kitchen teams in high-pressure environments
  • Strong leadership skills with a focus on training, discipline, and performance management
  • Thorough knowledge of HACCP, food safety standards, and kitchen compliance
  • Proven ability to manage food costing, inventory, waste control, and supplier relationships
  • Commercial awareness to balance creativity with profitability
  • Ability to work closely with senior management and stakeholders to align culinary output with business objectives
  • Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and commitment to quality excellence
