Two-Michelin-Starred Chef Brings Elevated Cantonese Cuisine to Jakarta

Chef Fei, the acclaimed culinary leader behind Guangzhou's two-Michelin-starred Jiang by Mandarin Oriental, is returning to Jakarta for an exclusive gastronomic showcase on June 27-28, 2026. The limited engagement at Li Feng restaurant within Mandarin Oriental Jakarta offers diners a rare opportunity to experience his distinctive modern Cantonese cuisine, blending time-honoured traditions with contemporary refinement.

A Signature Menu with Premium Ingredients

The showcase features Chef Fei's signature set menu priced at IDR 1,888,000 (approximately USD 120) per guest, supplemented by à la carte selections. This year's edition marks a significant collaboration with Kaviari, one of the world's most prestigious caviar suppliers, elevating the culinary experience with premium baerii caviar integrated throughout select dishes.

The menu reveals Chef Fei's philosophy of marrying tradition with innovation. Standout dishes include chilled crab meat jelly, tofu tart, and crispy seafood bean curd roll, each featuring Kaviari's signature caviar. The braised fish maw soup with coral grouper showcases respect for classical Cantonese technique, while wok-fried lobster with garlic king soy sauce demonstrates the chef's mastery of wok cooking.

"Stir-fried rice with 'Stockyard Gold' wagyu MB 6/7 beef striploin and caviar stands among the defining dishes of the experience, bringing together aged Chaozhou pickled radish, wagyu, and caviar in a composition that is balanced, elegant, and distinctly modern Cantonese."

Chef Fei's Distinguished Career

Chef Fei's credentials are formidable within Asia's fine dining landscape. He earned his first Michelin Star in 2018 and became Guangzhou's first chef to achieve two Michelin Stars in 2019—a remarkable distinction in one of China's most competitive culinary cities. His journey began at age 16, built upon years of disciplined training and deep respect for ingredient quality.

Recognized as one of the leading Cantonese chefs of his generation, Chef Fei represents a new wave of contemporary Cantonese cooking that respects classical foundations while embracing modern techniques and global influences. His signature black pepper beef short ribs, prepared char siu-style, exemplify this balance between heritage and innovation.

An Interactive Culinary Experience

Unlike typical restaurant visits, Chef Fei will personally present the experience during both lunch and dinner services across both days. This direct interaction with a Michelin-starred chef is uncommon in Indonesia and provides guests with insight into his culinary philosophy and technique.

Seating is strictly limited, and reservations are essential. Interested diners can contact Li Feng at +62 21 2993 8888, via Instagram @mo_jakarta, or through the Mandarin Oriental Jakarta dining page. An e-booklet with additional information is available upon request.
