Her talent for visual artistry is reflected in the immaculate presentation, while her innate creativity and appreciation for gourmet cuisine is evident in the seasonal tasting menu. Inspired to create ‘Edible Stories’, each of Lau’s menus originate from a common theme and consist of elaborately designed dishes that stir the imagination with their rich imagery and intriguing play on flavours and textures.
William Drew, Group Editor of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, speaking about Lau said: “This award rewards her skill, imagination and artistry, and recognises the originality and verve that Vicky brings to Asia’s dining scene.”
