Ho May Kitchen

The present Owner and leading Head Chef of Ho May Kitchen Mr Mickey Li established the restaurant in August 2016. Although the restaurant's Chinese name means 'One-Hundred Fresh Taste', the translation for 'Ho May' means 'Very Delicious'

His previous endeavor no long before the current, was '[Narre Warren Chinese Restaurant' (2003 to 2015).

The year of 2013 will be his 30th grand years of culinary experience.

The first restaurant Mr Li and his younger brother, Mr Yui Li, established was in Cranbourne and in the early 1990's. The restaurant traded by the name of Lee Palace Chinese Restaurant. With firm dedication, they successfully built a restaurant that was deemed to be one of Cranbourne's leading Chinese restaurants for its time.

So it was with flying victorious colours, did Mr Li gradually become aware of his own potential. This led to the creation of his unique and self-inspired style of Chinese cuisine.

After 12 long years of service, Mr Li and his beloved wife, Mrs Kam Mei Li, decided to finally step out of the cooking world and take a well earned break. The restaurant was then sold to their brother-in-law, Mr Joey Le.

The original 'Lee Palace Chinese Restaurant' name was dropped and renamed to be the now popular 'Bonsai Bali'.

Sadly, this marked the end of the 'Lee Palace Chinese Restaurant' saga.

Although with his apron hung up, Mr Li's flare for cooking never subsided and fueled him to re-entered the wonderful world of cooking.
