Ningbo, a city in southern China, is known for its unique terroir. It has crafted a culinary heritage that showcases the perfect blend of freshness and savoury flavours. Situated along the coast of the East China Sea and in close proximity to the renowned Zhoushan fishing ground, Ningbo boasts an abundance of seafood. Yongbang cuisine, the local specialty, is renowned for its mastery of salty and fresh flavours, often utilising salted or fermented seafood and vegetables.
‘We take great pride in our culinary offerings, and the collaboration with renowned chefs and restaurants shows our commitment to delivering exceptional dining experiences,’ said Allen Tao, deputy general manager of Kempinski Hotel Beijing. ‘Through the Ningbo Food Festival, we aim to bring the refined flavours of Ningbo to our discerning guests and the local community, further enriching Beijing’s vibrant food scene’.
Guest chef Mo Chenkai, currently the Chinese executive chef of Ningbo Nanyuan Universal Hotel, is well-known for his innovation and artistic approach to cuisine and seafood dishes. His expertise and dedication to preserving culinary traditions while infusing his creations with unique flavours make him the perfect ambassador for Ningbo cuisine.
