鈥淚t鈥檚 about trying to paint pictures 鈥� of different places, different moments in time, throughout China鈥檚 past.鈥�

Andrew Wong grew up helping out in his parents鈥� Chinese restaurant in central London, convinced that he would never work in hospitality himself.
But the 鈥渕agic鈥� of the industry drew him in 鈥� and today he鈥檚 chef-patron of a restaurant on the very same site as his parents鈥� place, but totally transformed.

In the decade or so since its launch, A.Wong has built a reputation for lunchtime dim sum, with an evening menu showcasing imaginative interpretations of regional and historical delicacies: from 鈥楤arbecued Forbidden City Sweetcorn with Wagyu Beef Meat Paste and Truffle鈥� to 鈥楾oasted Sweet Potato with Salted Black Bean Sauce, Black Tapioca and Liquorice Soy鈥�. It鈥檚 also the first Chinese restaurant outside Asia to have earned two Michelin stars.

Jaega Wise visits the Pimlico restaurant to find out how Andrew鈥檚 fascination with China鈥檚 food heritage has inspired this unique dining experience; one that seeks to bring to life a rich and diverse culinary culture.

We also hear from cook and food writer Fuchsia Dunlop, who specialises in Chinese gastronomy and has written six books on the country鈥檚 cuisine; and Dr Mukta Das, a research associate for the Food Studies Centre at London鈥檚 SOAS University, focusing on Chinese food and culture 鈥� who collaborates with Andrew to dig into dishes and delicacies from the past.
