Welcoming Our Chinese Executive Sous Chef Kevin Liang
Chinese Executive Sous Chef Kevin Liang
Guangzhou, China (July 2019) – Grand Hyatt Guangzhou welcomes its newly appointed Executive Sous Chef Kevin Liang. With 20 years of culinary experience, Chef Kevin is eager to bring traditional Cantonese flavors of his own creation to our young generations and to the market.
Born and raised in Guangdong, Chef Kevin began his career in 1999 when he was 17, at Lei Garden, a well-known Cantonese restaurant. After eight years, he moved to north China and stepped into the next phase of his culinary journey in Beijing and Tianjin. Prior to being appointed as Executive Sous Chef at Grand Hyatt Guangzhou, Chef Kevin worked at different international hotel groups such as Marriott International and Langham Group.
With his excellent cooking skills honed over the years, Chef Kevin had served many famous celebrities and well-known actors. He had also won several prestigious awards: Confrérie de la Châine des Rôtisseurs in 2012, Top Chef of the Year by Le Cordon Bleu Gourmet Association in 2014 – 2015, Cantonese Master Chef by WMACC in 2016, Champion Chef at the European Michelin Star Chef Competition in 2017 and Chinese Cooking Master selected by Asia Pacific Hotel Association in 2018.
His remarkable achievements come from his passion for the culinary arts. He always brings back inspiration from his travels around the world. Discovering local cultures and flavors, exploring local ingredients are the highlights of his journey; to him, sometimes they are even more attractive than the destination itself. “I always try to create a new recipe when I find a new ingredient. That makes me excited and motivated,” he said.
Twenty years of deep cultivation on the chef’s path, Chef Kevin is delighted to share his philosophy with us: “It gives me great joy to cook meals for my family, and I deliver the same passion and care when cooking for my guests.”
This summer, Chef Kevin creates an eight-course Black Pearl menu and it will be available at the Penthouse soon. Please stay tuned.
