Yuji Iwasaki’s theme is ‘synergy’. With artful combinations of ingredients, he blazes a new trail in Chinese cuisine. Dishes such as foie gras-filled monaka wafer cakes redolent with Shaoxing wine or pan-fried gyoza dusted with powdered chives burst with creativity. While layering flavours, VELROSIER still respects the basics of traditional technique and seasoning, standing firmly in the Chinese culinary camp. A contemporary sensibility adds a vibrant touch.
