Hong Kong is a city full of great, award-winning restaurants and chefs. Have you ever wondered what the staff of these restaurants are eating for their lunch?
What’s on the menu for the employees? In our new “Staff Meals” series, we witness what is behind the counter for meals before the guests arrive for dinner service. The first restaurant featured in the series is Hansik Goo, where head chef, Steve Lee, is cooking for his team.
As the name “Hansik Goo” – which translates into “one family” – implies, the Hansik Goo chefs take turns cooking meals for their “family”. Although Hansik Goo’s culinary concept revolves around preserving traditional Korean flavours with a fresh and creative perspective, Lee shares that he often likes to cook Chinese-inspired cuisine for the team, such as the Chinese-style minced pork with eggplant this time, to change things up. Lee shares that he partakes in making the staff meals at least twice a week.
Lee is a firm believer that having fulfilling staff meals once a day is very important to the team because it gives them the fuel and energy to provide their best service to the customers.
