CLARK FREEPORT – Xi Restaurant at the Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort here has a new Chinese master chef.
Chef Jason Ng brings to Clark a refined approach to Chinese cuisine built in a career spanning 25 years in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines.
Prior to his current post at the Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort, Chef Jason held the prestigious position of Executive VIP Chef at Solaire Resort & Casino in Manila, overseeing a number of high-end dining outlets.
Growing up in a family of modest means, Chef Jason vividly remembers being counseled to become a chef so he would never go hungry again. This simple advice sparked his love for gastronomy, leading him to master the art of dim sum at a young age and gradually take on larger roles and responsibilities.
Chef Jayson’s heart beats for Cantonese cuisine, a kitchen that demands expertise in meticulous preparation and attention to detail, from intricately folded dim sums to perfectly cooked seafood delicacies.
With an unwavering passion for his craft, Chef Jason considers himself a perpetual student, always seeking to innovate and create new dishes.
“As a chef, you must always be prepared. My mission is to ensure our guests savor quality food with consistent flavors every time they visit. I am thrilled to share my specialties with the guests of Xi,” enthuses the chef.
A sampling of Chef Jason’s delectable dishes was served at the May 17 media launch comprising dim sum platter of foie grass har gao, truffle xiao long bao, and deep-fried scallop puff; superior soup with meat dumpling and chilled avocado with honey for dessert.
Xi Restaurant is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The Yum Cha Festival, the unlimited dim sum feature, is available for lunch, from Tuesday – Thursday.
