HT Brunch Cover Story: Dim sum doctor

Michelin-starred chef Andrew Wong is taking regional cuisines from the heart of China to the East and the West

Edgy. Academic. Affable. These three adjectives best describe Michelin-starred chef Andrew Wong, 38, says my preliminary research. I learn this is true when I meet the London-based chef in Delhi. As he gives the final touches to his signature green-hued edamame dumplings, which he wants to use for the HT Brunch shoot, he cracks a joke with his near-panicked team in the kitchen (it’s almost dinner time), and they burst into laughter. Clearly, this ain’t no Hell’s Kitchen.

Chef Wong says that in India, certain dishes have a bit more chilli, more vegetarian options and chicken to replace those where meats aren’t available or allowed (Shivamm Paathak)
