New chef de cuisine chasing two hats for Kiyomi at The Star Gold Coast

Winson Law has been promoted to chef die cuisine at award-winning restaurant Kiyomi at The Star Gold Coast.

Law has been promoted to the role after working for more than eight years alongside executive chef Chase Kojima.

Speaking myGC, Chase said Law was “like a younger brother”.

“I hired him as a general hand eight years ago when we opened Sokyo at The Star in Sydney. Since then he has been working hard and climbing his way up to become the head chef,” he said.

“Winson helped me open Kiyomi four years ago, and he has always been my guy when we are doing something creative – he is the guy for me always. He is very talented.”

Law said the role was a big responsibility, as he is now looking after the whole restaurant.

“This is a huge promotion for me and will be my first time being a head chef,” he told myGC. “There is a lot of responsibility and I am going to work hard to make this restaurant even better.”

With a long-term goal of achieving two chefs hats for the restaurant, Law said innovation was at the heart of the kitchen culture at Kiyomi.

“You have to keep pushing hard to come up with new ideas,” he said.

“To come up with a new dish, it probably takes about a month. Our special menu is where we test out our potential new dishes. This is where you will find a lot of our most creative dishes.”
