The Michelin Guide China announced the results of the recipients of the prestigious stars for the 2021 Michelin Guide Guangzhou. Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou received two Michelin accolades: Catch was honored with a Michelin Plate and Yu Yue Heen with one Michelin star for the fourth consecutive year.
Chinese Executive Chef of Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou Mai Zhi Xiong has led the team in maintaining the highest culinary standards and in achieving this coveted recognition once again. Throughout his 30+ years of professional experience, Chef Mai, who joined the hotel as part of the pre-opening team, has kept his roots deeply grounded in the renowned Canton regions, including Jiangmen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Shunde and Guangzhou. Chef Mai is a strong advocate of inheriting Cantonese culinary traditions. To him, technology and plating trends may evolve, however, the essence of his cooking revolves around the freshest ingredients. “To retain our Michelin star is an acknowledgment of Yu Yue Heen’s authentic and refined Cantonese cuisine. We will continue to strive to make every dining experience memorable for our guests,” says Chef Mai.
Chef Jeffrey Zeng made his debut in 2020 at the Michelin Guide Guangzhou gala dinner, presenting the 6th course. A year later, his leadership and talent are being recognized with this prestigious accolade. His dedication to integrating the best local ingredients in a Western restaurant is his trademark at Catch and has won him tremendous accolades from all corners.
Yu Yue Heen, located on the 71st floor of Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou, offers authentic Cantonese cuisine with unsurpassed views of the city’s skyline and the Pearl River within a tranquil space. It has been awarded a Michelin star every year since 2018 when the guide was first launched in Guangzhou. The restaurant design features an interplay of traditional colors and contemporary décor, creating a haven of relaxed Chinese elegance with magnificent views of Guangzhou.
