It’s hardly
a surprise that this new private kitchen called “Ding’s Kitchen” in Causeway
Bay became the talk of the town lately as owner/chef Steve Lee (aka Ding Yeh 鼎爺 or
Grandpa Ding) ran a hugely popular cooking show “Grandpa Kitchen” (阿爺廚房) on local TV,
showcasing some impressive techniques in old-school Cantonese cuisine. The menu
at his restaurant didn’t come cheap by any means, but tables were snapped up
quickly since it opened late last year, with many eager customers/fans/groupies
wanting to try the dishes they saw on the show and to see him cooking in
person.
