Hakkasan Mumbai, renowned for its authentic Cantonese cuisine, is excited to announce the arrival of its new Head Chef, Raymond Wong. A culinary virtuoso with over 30 years of experience across 10 countries, Chef Raymond brings a fresh, creative vision to the iconic restaurant while staying true to its Cantonese roots.
Born in Malaysia, Chef Raymond embarked on his culinary journey at just 16, following in the footsteps of his father. His illustrious career has taken him to some of the finest Asian restaurants in Australia, Mauritius, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Singapore, where he earned global recognition for his innovative approach to Cantonese cuisine, particularly from China’s Sichuan region.
Chef Raymond’s passion lies in blending the traditional flavours of Cantonese cuisine with modern culinary techniques, creating an exceptional dining experience that is both familiar and new. His expertise in reinventing authentic dishes with a contemporary flair makes every meal at Hakkasan Mumbai a journey of discovery.
Introducing an array of new dishes that blend traditional Cantonese flavours with contemporary artistry, Chef Raymond adds signatures to the menu and brings you a sensory journey that combines innovative flavours and immersive storytelling.
A few of the signature dishes that await include a vibrant stir-fry of Chilean sea bass, perfectly cooked to a delicate flakiness, and indulge in the classic Nasi Goreng rice, rich with bold Indonesian-inspired flavours. The experience then unfolds with the Dumpling and Saffron Soup—a fragrant, golden broth that cradles tender, handmade dumplings, elevating the senses with every spoonful. Complete your journey with a daring dessert that balances sweet and spicy notes in perfect harmony. Many more innovative dishes will be unveiled during the experience, blending tradition with modern artistry for a truly unforgettable culinary experience.
Reflecting on his vision for Hakkasan, Chef Raymond shares, “At Hakkasan, my goal is to stay true to the essence of Cantonese cuisine while infusing it with creative innovations that offer our guests a dramatic culinary experience like no other. I believe in preserving the authenticity of flavours but elevating them with present-day techniques that offer our guests a truly unique and memorable experience. My team and I are committed to ensuring that every dish tells a story—a story of tradition, craftsmanship, and passion, and also exciting and inspiring—designed to leave a lasting impression on our diners.”
Chef Raymond’s arrival ushers in a dynamic new beginning for Hakkasan, as he sets to elevate the dining experience. Guests can look forward to a refreshed menu that lovingly honours Cantonese culinary traditions while introducing vibrant, contemporary touches!
