His remarkable achievements come from his passion for the culinary arts. He always brings back inspiration from his travels around the world. Discovering local cultures and flavors, exploring local ingredients are the highlights of his journey; to him, sometimes they are even more attractive than the destination itself. “I always try to create a new recipe when I find a new ingredient. That makes me excited and motivated,” he said.

Twenty years of deep cultivation on the chef’s path, Chef Kevin is delighted to share his philosophy with you: “It gives me great joy to cook meals for my family, and I deliver the same passion and care when cooking for my guests.”

This summer, Chef Kevin creates an eight-course Black Pearl menu and it will be available at the hotel’s Penthouse soon.
