That focus is what makes the brief so precise: Executive Chef, one restaurant, one regional culinary tradition. Within those boundaries, the craft has room to speak clearly. The cuisine sits at the center of the job, and the restaurant becomes a stage for that specificity rather than a departure from it.

Signature
Otto's signature dishes include Barbecued Iberico pork, wok-fried Macau sole with wild mushrooms, double-boiled fish maw soup with snow goose, stewed eight treasure chicken in almond soup, and Chilled seasonal fish with yellow bean sauce. Together, they sketch a kitchen that moves comfortably between richness and restraint, between the warmth of the grill, the quick precision of the wok, and the slow, clarifying patience of soup. Barbecued Iberico pork suggests depth and gloss; wok-fried Macau sole with wild mushrooms carries the immediacy of heat and the earthy counterpoint of the mushrooms; double-boiled fish maw soup with snow goose evokes a gentler, more contemplative register. Stewed eight treasure chicken in almond soup brings a sense of abundance shaped into harmony, while Chilled seasonal fish with yellow bean sauce offers a cleaner, cooler finish, the kind of dish that leaves room for nuance. Taken together, these dishes do not simply list a chef’s repertoire—they reveal the contours of a style grounded in Cantonese-Chaozhou cuisine, expressed with clarity at Pearl Dragon in Macau, Cotai.
