Over the past months, MAKfam has been busy in R&D mode, freshening up their menu with tradition-inspired Cantonese-ish food. For owners Chef Kenneth Wan and Doris Yuen, a husband-and-wife duo that grew up in the East Coast and Hong Kong respectively, the following dishes give a reverent nod to the dishes they grew up eating which include a blend of Chinese and American influences as well as comfort food classics. “Growing up in a Chinese household, there was no greater luxury than walking into a steakhouse and ordering Surf and Turf,” says MAKfam Chef and Owner Kenneth Wan. “Doris and I love a good steak and it’s even what I typically prepare on Thanksgiving instead of turkey. MAKfam’s version of a ‘steakhouse-style’ steak utilizes our house-made XO sauce to add an even richer and deeper umami flavor.” Photo Credit: Jeff Fierberg
