The Soul of Tang Town’s Kitchen
At Tang Town, the kitchen is more than a workspace — it’s where centuries-old Chinese culinary traditions meet Dubai’s modern fine dining expectations. Guided by Chef Zeng Jinbiao, a Cantonese master chef with decades of experience, our philosophy is simple: preserve the true taste of every ingredient while elevating presentation and dining experience.
Signature Tools We Use
- The Wok — our chefs cook over high flames to create wok hei, the smoky aroma that defines real Cantonese stir-fries.
- The Chinese Cleaver — versatile for precision cuts of meat, seafood, and vegetables, ensuring every bite is consistent.
- The Bamboo Steamer — essential for Tang Town’s delicate dim sum, buns, and fresh seafood.
Clay Pots — used for slow-cooked dishes that release deep, layered flavors.
Traditional Techniques Brought to Dubai
- Stir-Frying with Wok Hei — Tang Town chefs master the balance of high heat and speed for vibrant flavor.
- Steaming — preserving the natural taste of seafood and dumplings, a cornerstone of our menu.
- Velveting — marinating meats with egg white and starch for tenderness, seen in our chicken and seafood dishes.
Slow Braising — from Cantonese classics to regional specialties, braising unlocks rich depth in our beef and lamb dishes.
The Tang Town Pantry
Our kitchen sources both authentic Chinese staples and premium global produce to maintain consistency and luxury:
