Hangzhou’s one-Michelin-starred restaurant Wild Yeast has recently concluded a two-night collaboration with contemporary Cantonese fine-dining restaurant Jee, where chefs Oliver and Lin each created brand-new dishes that blend their culinary experiences. While chef Lin has gone back to his home turf, chef Oliver’s creations will be added to Jee’s menu for diners who missed the ten-course four-hands to try at their leisure.

These are the kinds of elevated Chinese flavours presented with a creative spark that we’ve always enjoyed from Jee.
