Xavier Yeung

Coming Up

Early in his career, Xavier Yeung worked as Executive Chef at La Vie by Thomas Bühner in Taipei, Taiwan, a post that sharpened the disciplined, detail-led habits that now define his work. In a kitchen where precision had to be practiced daily, he built a method grounded in control, consistency, and clear intent. He now applies that same approach as Head Chef of Majesty restaurant, Marriott Kaohsiung and Executive Chef of La Finca - Villa Xarahiz. Across both kitchens, Yeung’s path points to a chef concerned with technical command and with the quieter task of shaping meals that stay with guests after service ends.

Where They Are Now

"They want to awaken beautiful memories in guests and create unforgettable new ones." That line sets out a hospitality model built around memory as much as service. For Yeung, the measure of a meal is not limited to what is placed on the plate, but to what remains after the table is cleared: the recognition of something familiar, the pull of something unexpected, and the trace a dining room leaves on a guest. His present work reads as an exercise in that balance, where restaurants do more than feed; they structure an experience and give it a form that can be remembered.

In Their Words “But slowly, slowly, more and more guests began to appreciate [our style] and they came back slowly.” The value here is in patience. Yeung describes acceptance as something earned over time, not imposed through force or volume. The repeated phrasing gives the sentence its rhythm: a gradual building of trust, followed by return visits that confirm the kitchen’s direction. It points to a cook who understands that a distinct style often needs repetition, and that recognition can deepen through familiarity. “We want to awaken beautiful memories in the guest and create unforgettable new ones.” This places memory at the center of the work. The sentence holds two tasks at once: to meet a guest where they already are, and to leave them with something they have not had before. Taken together, the words describe a chef focused on what hospitality can preserve and what it can still add.
