Lippo Chiuchow Restaurant, a member of the Lippo Group, was opened in March 2007. Founded in the 50s of the last century, the Lippo Group consists of over 15 publicly listed companies and many private companies in different territories including Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines, with total assets exceeding US$8 billion. Its main business embraces property investment and development, retailing and other investments including financial services, food manufacturing, wholesale and distribution, telecommunications, cable TV and information technology. With its primary focus on the Asia-Pacific region, the Group has offices in China mainland, Hong Kong and Macau, Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines and South Korea. Lippo Chiuchow Restaurant, one of the food and beverage investments in Hong Kong by the Lippo Group, is located on the ground level of Lippo Centre in Admiralty—— a flourishing financial and shopping district. The 8,000 sq ft Restaurant is fabulously decorated and can host a Chinese banquet for up to 26 tables. Together with its high ceiling and state of the art audio visual system, the Restaurant is an ideal venue for wedding parties or other banqueting occasions. On the other hand, its flexible partitioning arrangements offer private rooms of various sizes to cater for different social events or private functions. Customers alighting from cars make their way direct to the dining hall and are met with warm reception from Restaurant staff. The ambience carries an air of a six-star hotel. Mr. Sunny Chan, General Manager of Lippo Chiuchow Restaurant, has over 20 years' experience in restaurant management with well-established restaurants. He emphasizes excellence in customer service, ensuring professionalism and dedication from staff, as well as customer satisfaction and comfort found in private clubs. The diversity in menu, caring services and prime location have resulted in regular patronage and loyal customers, including many prominent business and political figures. While Lippo Chiuchow Restaurant mainly offers Chiuchow cuisine, it also selectively provides distinctive Cantonese dishes. The Wu brothers, the executive chefs of the Restaurant, possess over 20 years of experience in Chiuchow cuisine. With particular flair in texture, aroma and flavour of different Chiuchow dishes, they are committed to rediscovering the traditional essence of Chiuchow cuisine, and offering the most conventional yet delicious taste of Chiuchow dishes. In line with its customer-oriented approach, Lippo Chiuchow Restaurant provides dishes and services matching customers' demand, in addition to introducing innovative and delicate Cantonese dishes and dim-sums. In response to growing awareness of interest in healthy dining, the Wu brothers seek to minimize the use of oil, salt and sugar while retaining the rich flavour peculiar to Chiuchow cuisine. MSG has no place in the recipe, and the use of fresh produce and ingredients is a must regardless of cost. The Restaurant's signature dishes including "quick boiled sliced sea whelk", "braised Chiuchow shark's fin", "Chiuchow poached red crab cold cut" and "soyed goose" have found favour from business and political celebrities and serious diners. Recognizing Hong Kong people's growing appreciation of wine in recent years, Lippo Chiuchow Restaurant becomes a pioneer in the Chinese restaurant sector to have a full time sommelier offering professional advice to match wine with particular dishes. In line with its object of offering seasonal food and an innovative menu, Lippo Chiuchow Restaurant launches food items in tune with the season or on different festive occasions, such as Chiuchow style mooncake in Mid-Autumn Festival. Moreover, seasonal menus with special offers are available. Lippo Chiuchow Restaurant has been awarded the "Quality Tourism Services" ("QTS") Certification by the Quality Tourism Services Association ("QTSA"), a strategic partner of the Hong Kong Tourism Board. This further endorses its outstanding services and offers confidence to overseas tourists in its food quality. Consistent to its stringent insistence on food quality, Lippo Chiuchow Restaurant is committed to its customer-oriented mission in business expansion. It is planning to establish branches in Hong Kong and South-east Asia focusing on Chiuchow cuisine, and spread its branding throughout the region by offering traditional Chiuchow cuisine and innovation in dishes and recipes at the same time.
