CHEF CHAM @ TRC

For Members of the HKJC there is this little gem which, to all of us at Club FED (Friends for Epicurean Dining) is really the 'Crown Jewel' these days. TRC, short for The Racing Club, was created to attract keen 2nd generation race goers who have to turn in their membership cards on reaching 21. TRC aims to recruit them as 'Members in Waiting', so to speak. The very special purpose-built venue at the Happy Valley Racecourse, right over the finish, has made Full Members envious. A subsequent decision was made to open this facility to all members on non-racing days and this is when the rubber hits the road on the dining front.

Chef Cham Leong was Sous Chef to Chef Donovan Cooke at the Derby who was called to duty when TRC opened, as Head Chef. Instead of giving this fine avenue the promotional pitch I suggest you book a table and try for yourself. His Tasting Menu is the best way to go, his artistry is unmistaken, his quality is as high as it gets, and his interpretation of fusion is just, plain cool.

Look! Paper thin abalone presented in its own juice and a light Japanese dressing ....
