A legacy of culinary excellence

The story of Miramar Group began in the 1950s, a pivotal period in Hong Kong’s dining evolution, where the group has since become renowned for its diverse range of Chinese cuisine concepts. As the city’s palate grew more refined, so too did its appreciation for regional flavours, and now we proudly celebrate a decade of Tsui Hang Village’s culinary excellence. Under the expert guidance of senior executive chef Mok Ming, who has been with the group for almost four decades, this Cantonese restaurant became synonymous with yum cha culture and its signature dishes—Shunde fish head soup and honey-glazed barbecue—capturing the very essence of traditional Cantonese cuisine. His dedication to upholding the restaurant’s quality has been instrumental in solidifying Tsui Hang Village’s reputation.

With the evolution of Hong Kong’s dining preferences, Mira Dining’s offerings grew in tandem. The launch of the iconic Cuisine Cuisine heralded a new era of opulence, with master chefLee Yuk-lam crafting exquisite dishes such as sautéed crystal king prawn and five-snake soup, effortlessly blending sophistication with time-honoured traditions and unparalleled craftsmanship. The restaurant’s expansion to The Mira Hong Kong in the 2010s, under chef Edwin Tang Ho-wang, continued this legacy, introducing a contemporary flair to its classic elegance.

In the new millennium, Mira Dining embraced innovation, blending tradition with bold reinvention. Chinesology, led by chef Saito Chau, pays homage to Chinese cuisine through inventive and glamorous dishes like flaming dongpo tower, capturing the essence of the restaurant’s overall sensory experience. At Jaja, sustainability and creativity converge, placing a spotlight on vegetarian cuisine and eco-conscious living, redefining them as avant-garde experiences. Whisk, with its modern European cuisine, offers a sensory journey through seasonal, sustainable flair. Mue Mue celebrates Thai Chinese culinary heritage through a fusion of traditional artistry and modern innovation. Each of Mira Dining’s ventures has played a pivotal role in shaping Hong Kong’s culinary narrative, skilfully balancing tradition with contemporary innovation and leaving a lasting imprint on the city’s vibrant dining scene.
