Straits Kitchen appoints new Head Chef

March 4, 2023

By Angela Green, Content Executive: Straits Kitchen appoints new Head Chef.

Straits Kitchen, the signature restaurant at Pan Pacific London, has appointed a new Head Chef, Nick Yung.

An expert in south-east Asian cuisine, Chef Yung has trained and worked in Malaysia before moving to the UK. He has over a decade of experience gleaned in Cantonese style cooking and has worked in several restaurants including a seven year tenure at Hakkasan Mayfair.

Responsible for the day-to-day running of the south-east Asian-inspired Straits Kitchen, including overseeing a team of 20, Nick will launch a new menu in March.

Exciting new additions will include hot and sour lobster soup; Berkshire pork belly; and umami black cod, as well as his signature dish, ‘Tequila Sarawak Lada Hitam Crab’, with flaming tequila and a choice of soft shell or wok-fried crab.

Head Chef, Yung commented on his appointment saying: ‘My passion is south-east Asian cuisine, so I’m thrilled to be joining the team at Straits Kitchen. The restaurant has a reputation for quality ingredients and innovation, and I am looking forward to taking this forward with the creation of new and exciting dishes that reflect a melting pot of flavours found across south-east Asia.”

Anne Golden, VP Operations, UK & North America and General Manager, Pan Pacific London welcomes Yung: ‘Nick’s experience in Cantonese and Malaysian cuisines made him the perfect candidate for Straits Kitchen and to take the restaurant to the next level. I’m really looking forward to seeing him put his own stamp on our menu.”
