Foodies alert! First three-star Michelin rating for a Chinese restaurant!

Wow, way to represent. Michelin awards Hong Kong restaurant Lung King Heen at the Four Seasons its ultimate rating of three stars, which is pretty astonishing, given that:

A. A third of all 3-star Michelin restaurants are in France (a higher proportion if you parse by French cuisine)

B. This restaurant is Cantonese, a cuisine (at least in the US) more readily associated with greasy takeout and often-shady dim sum — a first in Michelin Guide history

C. Many master chefs of Chinese cookery were sent to re-education camps — or worse — by Mao during the Cultural Revolution. Might this signal a resurgence of high cuisine in China??

Found some food porn from the restaurant in a flickr set here.
