REVEALED: Miss Chow’s expands dining empire to new location

Chowing down on dumplings while looking over grape vines is not your usual modern Asian meal.

But there’s nothing typical about local restaurateur Jacquie Chan, with the pearl and diamond trader poised to expand her Miss Chow’s food empire to WA’s South West.

The force of nature also behind mod-Asian eateries Lucy Luu in Mt Hawthorn, Lygon Lane in Claremont and the recently opened Moon and Mary in Fremantle, is due to open Miss Chow’s Margaret River in November.

The 200-capacity contemporary south-east Asian diner is situated on Edwards Estate winery in Cowaramup and is not to be confused with Chow’s Table, chef Mal Chow’s fine-dining gem in Yallingup.

The food and wine mecca of Margaret River has been on Ms Chan’s radar for years.

“It’s a stunning place with a strong food and wine culture that we’ve wanted to be part of for a long while,” Perth’s dumpling queen says.

“Partnering with Edwards makes this project even more meaningful, and we feel it’s the ideal location to bring this concept to life.”

Miss Chow’s executive chef Aldren Teo has designed a menu built around informal pan-Asian dining and local produce.

Expect dishes such as Margaret River venison tartare with soy-cured egg yolk, porcini and pickled radish; crisp Amelia Park lamb and lemongrass dumplings; and smoked Wagin duck sang choy bao with pickle and baby gem lettuce.

Abalone from Augusta and Manjimup truffles will also be served.

Ms Chan says the new restaurant, which faces east to showcase Edwards Estate’s vineyards, will fill a gap in the South West market.

“We saw an opportunity to offer something a little different,” she says, “modern Asian food with a relaxed feel.

“Margaret River has amazing dining options, but we believe the blend of approachable Asian dishes with great local wines and a beautiful vineyard setting brings something new to the mix.”

In addition to her restaurants, Ms Chan owns takeaway outlets The Pantry by Miss Chow’s in Bicton and City Beach, plus the Miss Chow’s at Home brand of dumplings and barbecue pork buns.

The first Miss Chow’s opened in Claremont Quarter in 2015, followed by restaurants in Whitfords and South Perth.

Both the Claremont and Whitfords venues have since closed.
