Over at the Galaxy Macau they’ve just begun their Huaiyang cuisine promotion, which should not be missed. It is a prestigious historic style of Chinese food, which uses fresh, delicate ingredients, rich flavors, artistic plating, and excellent knife work. There is also not one, but two, great mixology events this weekend. The first is at Mandarin Oriental’s Vida Rica Bar, where Singaporean bar, 28 HongKong Street (one of Asia’s 50 Best Bars) take the stage as the guest outlet for the hotel’s regular pop-up event. There is also another guest bartender flying into Wing Lei Bar at the Wynn Palace, who is none other than award-winning Mixologist Naoya Ohtake from Ginza in Japan.
If you’re looking for more than food and drink, head to the Third Macao International Documentary Film Festival for a bit of inspiration or to learn about the world. Next week is the final week of the festival, but there are plenty of screenings taking place over the weekend and on a few days next week. Whatever you get up to, viva a boa vida (live the good life).

In love with Macao – calligraphy and paintings of Macao
Being one of the earliest points for China’s exchanges with the West, Macau has always been a place where Chinese and Western cultures have clashed and blended, with Western trends and techniques influencing several art forms. However, the truly traditional arts of Chinese calligraphy, painting and seal carving have maintained their strong vitality all along – and this exhibition will put them in focus. The show will feature a total of 90 artworks by artists who lived in the city from the 1930s to the 21st century or somehow had ties with Macau. They include Shang Yanliu, Zheng Jin, Gao Jianfu, Li Xiangen, and Lin Jin, among others.
When: 10:00am—7:00pm, Friday—Sunday (closed on Mondays), July 14—August 4
