Following the Hong Kong dinners, the collaboration will continue with a reciprocal event in Taipei this August, when the Duddell’s team travels to Silks House.

Introducing Taiwan’s Silks House and Chef Max Wo

Silks House is led by Chef Max Wo, a veteran Cantonese chef with more than three decades of experience. An alumnus of Hong Kong’s renowned Lei Garden, Chef Wo took on the role of head chef at Silks House in 2019 and has since garnered praise for his pure, traditional cooking style and masterful handling of premium ingredients. Located within Regent Taipei, Silks House has become a destination for gourmets drawn to its elegant dining room and sophisticated Cantonese cuisine. Signature dishes such as xishi soup rice prepared with lobster, mud crab and white prawns, char siu pork, and steamed king crab with egg and Shaoxing wine showcase the kitchen’s dedication to refined flavour and classical technique.

A Collaboration Menu Celebrating Cantonese Craft

The 8-course collaborative tasting menu highlights the strengths of both restaurants, beginning with refined appetisers from each kitchen.

Duddell’s opens the collaboration dinner with nostalgic and indulgent bites such as Deep-fried Egg Custard with Chicken Testicle and Crispy Suckling Pig with Royal Cristal Caviar, alongside elegant cold appetisers from Silks House such as Botan Shrimp with Thai Basil, Vegetarian Jade Rolls with Betel Nut and Bamboo Shoots with Minced Olive Vegetables. A comforting Double-boiled Chicken and Squab Soup with Fish Maw, Dangshen, White Pepper follows before seafood takes centre stage with Steamed Australian Lobster with Minced Pork Patty.

One of the highlights of the evening is a collaborative dish of Braised 23-head Dried Abalone with Abalone Puff Pastry, bringing together the luxurious tradition of dried seafood with delicate pastry.

The menu continues with Duddell’s Braised Local Beef Brisket and Japanese Daikon in Chu Hou Sauce and Poached White Eggplant with Sabah Vegetables in Fresh Lobster Broth, before Silks House presents Mapo Tofu with Mud Crab, Served with Wuchang Rice as the main course. Dessert concludes the experience with a collaborative pairing of Double-boiled Wenshi Tofu Soup with Chuan Bei and Chinese White Pear, alongside Crispy Sesame Ball with Bird’s Nest and Molten Almond Cream.
