The Yu team puts elite Hong Kong style on the table

Pat Cheong: Chef de Cuisine

Yú’s culinary team is led by renowned Chef de Cuisine, Pat Cheong, who draws on more than 25 years of experience in prestigious establishments.

The renowned Diamond Restaurant in Hong Kong is where Pat learned the fastidious attention to detail that has become his trademark - before moving to Perth in the early 1980s.

Joining Burswood in 1993, Pat played an integral role in the award-winning success and tradition of Genting Palace at Burswood, and has been recognised both internationally and within the local community for his outstanding work.

As the eighth in a family of 13 children, Pat has the lucky number eight on his side. He enjoys creating Yú’s signature dishes, including Peking duck, fillet steak with Szechuan or Cantonese sauce, Portuguese crab and sea salt prawns.

Esteemed Chef Cheong says: “Maintaining Yú’s exacting standards is easier when you work with a strong team who are passionate about the rich tradition of Cantonese cuisine.”
