Dine Out: New York City’s Chinese Tuxedo Pop-Up at Barangaroo House for Three Nights

In the early 2010s, Paul Donnelly made headlines in Sydney’s dining scene when he was working at Merivale Group’s Cantonese diner Mr Wong and modern Asian fusion spot Ms.G’s.

Now, he’s the executive chef and co-owner of Chinese Tuxedo, where traditional Chinese banquet dishes like roast pork belly and XO fried rice are reimagined in a former opera house in New York’s Chinatown.

For three nights during the Dine Out festival, Chinese Tuxedo will be popping up at Rekodo, Barangaroo House’s jazz listening bar. Expect American-Chinese favourites in a banquet-style meal alongside vinyl beats.
