Michelin-starred Kam’s Roast is opening in Metro Manila: 10 things to order

Michelin-starred and Hong Kong institution Kam’s Roast is opening its doors in Metro Manila on May 15.

This internationally acclaimed establishment has only been around since 2014, but the family behind it has a culinary heritage that spans three quarters of a century. Its founder, Hardy Kam, comes from the third generation of the family behind Yung Kee Restaurant, and he has teamed up with prominent Hong Kong TV and movie producer Robert Chua with this particular restaurant concept.
