It’s a destination with special meaning to Chef Tony. “Yunnan has always been my favourite place. It has remarkably diverse landscapes and natural scenery, giving it a rich selection of ingredients,” he says.

He found particular inspiration in rushan, a local fresh goat milk cheese. “We went to a rushan factory in Eryuan County to see the entire process of making rushan, an experience you cannot get in Shanghai,” he recalls. This unique ingredient now stars in several of the dishes on his DIAN • Impression Menu – crispy rushan garnished with sweet and sour marinated tamarillo and rushan slices complementing a baked sweet potato for dessert.
