We're humbled to have kept our two hats at this year's @cuisinemagazine Good Food Awards.

What matters most to us is what the hats represent, the chance to keep telling our stories, sharing our flavours and celebrating Pacific cuisine with Aotearoa in the way it deserves.

To our team, from the kitchen to the pass, thank you for pouring your heart into every service. And to our guests, thank you for letting us share our Pacific with you, we couldn't do this without you.

Congratulations to all the winners tonight and thank you to the Cuisine team.

A trip to the Chinese grocer with Michael Meredith (@mmeredith27), one of my favourite places to talk ingredients… what I look for, how to tell the good stuff from the average, the flavours and textures I grew up around, and the things that make you stop in an aisle and rethink a dish.

Next Saturday at @mrmorrisnz, Michael and I are bringing those conversations to the table with our interpretation of a modern Chinese degustation.

Expect snacks, entrées, mains with sides and dessert, exploring the five tastes, sweet, salt, sour, bitter, umami, Chinese herbs and TCM ingredients, survival Chinese takeaway food reimagined and what we think is modern Chinese flavours today.

We’re already 75% booked!!!

Next Saturday · Mr. Morris . 22 Aug

A little look behind the scenes with @mmeredith27 at one of my favourite places, my local Asian grocer 🛒

We pretty much have the menu locked in, but spent some time walking the aisles, talking ingredients, sharing knowledge and seeing what else might inspire us.

This dinner is both mine and Michael’s interpretation of modern Chinese food, pulling from things we grew up eating, flavours and ingredients I’m loving right now, and ideas around the five tastes, texture, traditional Chinese medicine and a few things we just think are really delicious.

Really special getting to cook alongside someone I’ve looked up to for such a long time, and even more special getting to share what we’ve been working on with you.

One night only at @mrmorrisnz

Progressive modern Chinese. One night only.

On Saturday, 22 August, Michael Meredith (@mmeredith27) and I (@_sam_low_) are coming together at Mr. Morris (@mrmorrisnz) for a collaborative tasting menu exploring Chinese gastronomy through the many ways I’ve come to understand it.

This is the style of food I’ve wanted to showcase in New Zealand for a long time, a menu inspired by things like survival Chinese food (Chinese takeaway food I grew up with) alongside the techniques, ingredients and ideas I’ve developed throughout my career such as the use of Chinese herbs/spices and regional Chinese flavours.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been tasting, refining and building the courses, creating with some of the best produce available to us, including dishes featuring sustainably sourced Kaluga-Huso caviar, matured and hand-finished in Rotorua by Sturgeon Valley (@sturgeonvalleynz)

If you’ve been following my journey and have been waiting to experience my interpretation of progressive modern Chinese cuisine, now’s your chance.

📍 Mr. Morris, Auckland
📅 Saturday, 22 August

Seats are limited, and this menu will only be served once. Book via Mr. Morris the link in bio. taken in Mr. Morris by @mmeredith27
