The fact that the Michelin Guide continues to overlook Wing is either negligent or worse. Most chefs struggle to keep even one fine dining restaurant at the pinnacle of the F&amp;B landscape; Cheng manages it with two \u2013 Vea and Wing \u2013 a testament to his consistency and ability. Both rank among the finest restaurants of their kind in the region.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">Cheng\u2019s efforts away from the kitchen also set him apart. When chefs get drawn into television or other ventures, it often distracts from their day jobs. That has not been the case for Cheng. His restaurants have gone from strength to strength, while his work on the culinary reality competition <em data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa15\">The Divine Dish<\/em>, alongside Nicholas Tse, has raised the profile of Hong Kong\u2019s fine dining scene among millions of viewers. His involvement with the Eastern &amp; Oriental Express, alongside celebrated Taiwanese chef Andr\u00e9 Chiang, is yet another accomplishment to add to his name.<\/p>\n<h3 type=\"h3\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"eh0yk8h0 css-17x7qa9 e1pqa4re1\"><strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">Best New Restaurant<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4 type=\"h4\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"eh0yk8h0 css-1xqmoxd e1pqa4re0\"><strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">Roucou<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div class=\"image-inline-container e1a5rv550 css-1llrc1m e1yqhwb40\" data-qa=\"Component-renderMap-StyledDiv\">\n<div class=\"image-inline caption e1fvabeq0 css-19sk4h4 ea9pn0s0\" data-qa=\"Component-Container\">\n<figure class=\"image-inline caption ea9pn0s1 css-1vtntpq e1gf69pb0\" data-qa=\"ArticleImage-ArticleImageContainer\">\n<div data-qa=\"ArticleImage-handleRenderImage-ImageContainer\" class=\"css-bjn8wh e1gf69pb3\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Organic Camembert from Roucou.

That is part of what makes Roucou stand out. As a self-described \u201ccheese omakase bar\u201d, there is nothing else like it in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<div datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1xdhyk6 ec74h0k0\">Originality alone is no guarantee of quality; many restaurants with novel concepts fall short in execution. That was unlikely to ever be the case at Roucou, given founder Jeremy Evrard\u2019s pedigree \u2013 a culinary journey that has taken him from Paris to Japan and, finally, to <span data-qa=\"Component-Text\" class=\"css-0 ef9u0v00\">Caprice in Hong Kong.<\/span><\/div>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">The entire experience is a delight. There are comforting brunch classics and the cheeseboard is as varied and extensive as you\u2019d imagine. Then there\u2019s the cheestail drinks that skilfully combine cheeses with tropical flavours, and the sushi dishes that miraculously pair sea bream sashimi with a ponzu-goat cheese emulsion, or binchotan-seared toro marinated with natural Camembert. Every one of Evrard\u2019s creations is both original and delicious.<\/p>\n<h3 type=\"h3\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"eh0yk8h0 css-17x7qa9 e1pqa4re1\"><strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">Rising Star<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4 type=\"h4\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"eh0yk8h0 css-1xqmoxd e1pqa4re0\"><strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">Mina G\u00fc\u00e7l\u00fcer<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/lifestyle\/100-top-tables\/article\/3351513\/100-top-tables-2026-celebrating-hong-kongs-best-restaurants-bars-and-fb-talents?utm_source=rss_feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With awards spanning 10 categories, 100 Top Tables celebrates the exceptional restaurants, bars and individuals that make Hong Kong and Macau\u2019s F&amp;B scenes truly world-class&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48016,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[722,9571,3569,5010,3644,4039,21520,75],"class_list":["post-48015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bored-interesting","tag-bars","tag-celebrating","tag-hong","tag-kongs","tag-restaurants","tag-tables","tag-talents","tag-top","wpcat-33-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48015"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48015\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/48016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=48015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=48015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
