• Melco Resorts & Entertainment presents The MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong Macau 2020 Gala Dinner: “ Sustainability Through Motion” at City of Dreams, Macau

    Marking the 12th anniversary of the annual MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong Macau, MELCO Resorts & Entertainment will present a gala dinner with a tribute to sustainability on Tuesday, December 17th at City of Dreams, Macau. It will be an evening inspired by the emerging culinary movement of adopting sustainable practices in the kitchen, a mantra that is championed by esteemed MICHELIN-starred kitchens around the world. For one night only, six internationally renowned culinary masters from two and three-MICHELIN-starred restaurants around the globe and a celebrated pâtissier will join hands to craft a dining experience like no other for hundreds of gourmet aficionados and industry giants alike.

     

    MELCO will bring the glamorous gastronomic journey for the fourth consecutive year to Macau, a UNESCO-designated “Creative City of Gastronomy”. The Official Title Partner of the MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong Macau 2020, MELCO is proud to celebrate top-class hospitality and gourmet dining where guests will be indulged in a seven-course wine-pairing dinner, prepared by culinary geniuses from around the world.

     

    In addition to MELCO’s own superstar chefs, Kelvin Au Yeung of three-MICHELIN-starred Jade Dragon, Fabrice Vulin of two-MICHELIN-starred The Tasting Room and Alain Ducasse of two-MICHELIN-starred Alain Ducasse at Morpheus, the event will feature visiting culinary masters Kunio Tokuoka (Kitcho Arashiyama Honten, Kyoto, Japan; three MICHELIN stars), Alex Atala (D.O.M., São Paulo, Brazil; two MICHELIN stars) and also Lau Yiu Fai (Yan Toh Heen, Hong Kong; two MICHELIN stars). The evening will conclude with sensational French creations by celebrated pâtissier Pierre Hermé (Pierre Hermé Lounge, City of Dreams, Macau).

    An earth-shaking performance by DRUM TAO will unveil the night’s entertainment, an award-winning Japanese drum and dance ensemble that re-writes the story of traditional Japanese drum with Korean, Maori and Indonesian influences. This will be followed by a special musical performance by regional pop singer Ms. Kit Chan. Accompanying the evening’s exquisite menu is a selection of highly scored Robert Parker-rated wines and Champagne, for guests to enjoy.

    This year’s gala dinner: Sustainability through Motion, is a celebration embracing sustainability as a continuous modernization of fine dining culture. As part of a global effort, modern culinary trends have shifted towards ensuring sustainability as a key factor in food choices that are made.  From the choice of ingredients and suppliers to ensuring fair trade and consumer health, the modern chef’s responsibilities go beyond the traditional criteria of technique, taste and creativity, including the process that contributes to the collective effort to preserve our planet.

     

    As the first and only hospitality group and integrated resort operator globally to become a signatory to The New Plastics Economy Global Commitment led by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation in collaboration with UN Environment, MELCO is always at the forefront of sustainability and is committed to making its operations sustainable for all those involved. The Company’s latest sustainability strategy, “Above and Beyond,” focuses on meeting four key goals by 2030 in relation to carbon neutrality, eliminating waste and single-use plastics, becoming the employer of choice and also an inspiration of integrating sustainability in everyday life.

    This year’s gala dinner will be another testament to MELCO’s ambitions in environmental sustainability. To continue this journey, MELCO has made environmentally conscious choices to minimise the gala’s impact on the environment, from ingredient vendors to venue decor. For example, key ingredients of the unique seven-course menu will be sustainably sourced; natural rice husk trays will be used to serve pre-gala dinner canapés; all event backdrops will be shifted to LED walls; FSC-certified paper will be used for event booklets; as for decoration, bamboo will be sourced within City of Dreams and replanted after the event, while table centerpieces of cut grass and flower pots will also be replanted within the resort.

    The MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong Macau 2020 Gala Dinner: “Sustainability through Motion” will commence at 7pm, following a cocktail reception at 6pm on December 17, 2019 at the Grand Ballroom, City of Dreams.
