Rom’s debut on Hong Kong’s fine dining scene meant the restaurant opened to great critical acclaim. His ingenious style and eye for detail ensured that the restaurant quickly became one of Hong Kong’s best, and remained so during the time Rom headed the kitchen.

Whilst in Hong Kong Rom also played a pivotal role as Executive Chef in the establishment and operation of several other new dining outlets including:
           - La Bodega,
           - Wyndham Street Deli, and
           - the Noodle Box.
