Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants is considered one of the most prestigious awards-giving body in the region. From the top tier of Asia’s dining scene to the newcomers stealing the show, the awards authority is illustrious as it is meticulous. This gathering of the creme de la crème of the culinary world is one of the anticipated events of the year and what a spectacular affair it truly was with Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace successfully hosting the annual big reveal.
An influential group of more than 300 leaders in the restaurant industry across Asia cast their votes and revealed the winners of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants. Making their way into the prominent list for the first time is Wing Lei Palace earning a place on coveted Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list. Helmed by award-winning Executive Chef Tam Kwok Fung, Wing Lei Palace rapidly rose to popularity for its renowned authentic Cantonese dishes with an innovative flair. Meanwhile, the three Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant Jade Dragon’s inclusion came as no surprise having been previously conferred on the list. The majestic setting of both restaurants and A-list service both set the standard for fine dining institutions in Macau. Congratulations to both teams as we laud their great talent, synergy, and hard work for representing our beautiful city.
Delving beyond the glitz and glamor of the awards, Wynn Macau also played host to Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants’ #50BestTalks forum, where leading chefs and culinary professionals shared their insights around the theme–Vital Ingredients. These sessions were great conversation starters exploring the latest industry trends regarding sustainability, inclusiveness, equal opportunities, and diversity. It was a fantastic chance for the property to weave the hot topic of sustainability into forum intervals, lunch and the awards ceremony after party with innovative snacks that were sustainably created.
One of the significant aspects truly admired by many was Wynn Macau’s creative collaboration with highly acclaimed culinary artists – Anthony Sousa Tam of ROOT; Florita Alves of La Famiglia; Raymond Vong of Henri’s Galley and Eileen Stow of Lord Stow’s Bakery. Together, they presented The Chef’s Feast, which showcased authentic Macanese and Portuguese dishes. It was a testament to the camaraderie amongst chefs with an aim to uplift the gastronomic scene of the SAR. The palate of guests indulged in a unique blend of Chinese and Western cultures in Macau allowing a taste of the city’s rich and diverse food culture.
