golden flower stars

At Wynns Golden Flower, Chef liu Guozhu is keeping Tan cuisine alive and well.
Listening to Chef Liu guozhu reel off the list of dignitaries who have enjoyed his dishes is like listening to a political whos who of the 20th century. He has cooked for everybody from former Premier Deng Xiaoping to Queen Elizabeth II. Liu began his career decades ago, in Beijing. He is now settled at Wynn Macaus Golden Flower restaurant, where patrons can enjoy the cooking that has made him famous. Golden Flower offers a rare chance to experience authentic Tan cuisine. Developed by Tan Zongjun, a Qing Dynasty official from Canton who took up residence in Beijing, this exclusive cuisine borrows the best from both northern and southern China. Tans courtyard home was like a private kitchen, says Liu. His signature dishes featured prized ingredients like abalone and sea cucumber, meticulously slow-cooked to perfection. Liu and his chefs spend eight hours a day preparing soup stocks, Tan cuisines pivotal ingredient.

Take our stewed fish maw with crab claw in supreme chicken soup. The fish maw is braised slowly to absorb the essence of the soup, so that it melts in your mouth. In recognition of the extraordinary quality of its cuisine, Golden Flower was recently awarded a Michelin star. Getting a Michelin star means international recognition of our work, says Liu. Of course Im delighted. But it also reminds me to keep pushing.

aux beaux arts hits the brasserie bullseye

For a brasserie fix in Macau, there is only one option, but luckily its a great one: Aux beaux Arts at MGM MACAU.
fanCier than a bistro, more relaxed than the sort of gilded establishment referred to as a gastro, a brasserie is the type of French restaurant which many diners feel offers the best combination of great food and comfortable ambiance. In Macau, for a classic brasserie experience, theres only one choice, but luckily its a great one: MGM MACAUs Aux Beaux Arts. At Aux Beaux Arts, the tablecloths are white, the service is attentive and the dishes are beautifully and deliciously rendered. Its elegant, but also relaxed. It isnt intimidating, like the experience in a full-on fancy restaurant can be. Nobody is uptight, there isnt a whole new system of etiquette to worry about, and the food is lovely but still happily recognizable as food. Guests feel comfortable coming here, says Chef de Cuisine Elie Khalife. You can dress simply, you can order a beer and a salad. You feel free. People like that. Classic brasserie fare typically involves fresh ingredients prepared straightforwardly, without too much fuss. A sole is a beautiful sole, cooked with butter, lemon juice and parsley, says Elie. We serve ours with potato pure, sauted spinach and garlic confit. Some guests visit Aux Beaux Arts two or three times a week, just to eat the shrimp cocktail, a brasserie standard. If you try it and get hooked, dont expect Chef Elie to reveal his secret for cooking the shrimp to

addictively delicious perfection. It involves ice water and perfect timing and thats all hell say. Steak tartar is another brasserie favorite. If you dont already thrill to the idea of eating raw meat, Elies steak tartar might just be delicious enough to convert you. The beef has a spicy bite, thanks to a dash of Tabasco, while the dressing made with Dijon mustard, olive oil, sherry vinegar and acacia honey provides a bit of contrasting sweetness. Just like in France, the tartar is served with fries and a green salad.

Elie likes to spread the tartar on a piece of bread: Its a piece of heaven! Alongside the brasserie classics, Elie also offers lovely, memorable dishes of his own invention. One of his signature dishes is Alaskan crab salad. On the plate it is simple and lovely a tightly wrapped, bulbshaped bundle of bright green romaine lettuce, topped with little slivers of celery and green apple. A first bite reveals a rich complexity of textures and flavors. A lemony glaze on the lettuce offers a welcoming sweetness. The lettuce itself has been blanched its half cooked, half crunchy. And then youre through to the treasure within, a rich blend of crab meat, citrus zest and tiny, scrumptiously crunchy, diced vegetables. Its every bit as good as it sounds. If I open my own restaurant one day, says Elie, I want an easy atmosphere and cool dishes. Easy atmosphere and cool dishes its the perfect summary of the brasserie experience, and the perfect summary of the experience Chef Elie is already offering, at Aux Beaux Arts.

food of the gods

Can chocolate really, as some people insist, be better than sex? Dont make up your mind until youve tried some made by luc Capus, Wynn Macaus executive Pastry Chef.

Known to Connoisseurs as one of the best chocolatiers in Asia, Chef Luc has an artisans passion for crafting delectable edibles. Luc calls his workspace the Chocolate Room. The polished stainless steel surfaces and the carefully controlled temperature (its always exactly 17 degrees Celsius) make it resemble a laboratory of some sort, but the work done here is more art than science, and the Chocolate Room smells much better than any laboratory ever did. I detect the wonderful scent of fresh vanilla (Luc says its from Tahiti), and the shelves are lined with hessian sacks of aromatic raw chocolate from Ecuador, Madagascar and the Ivory Coast. Chocolate is made from cacao and its flavor has terroir, which is to say that it is strongly dependent on the soil, climate and other physical characteristics of the region where the cacao is grown. A chocolates flavor becomes more complex as the raw cacao beans are processed by fermentation (together with the fruity white pulp that surrounds the beans in their pod), sun-drying and roasting. Every unique kind of chocolate has its own aroma and a flavor profile distinguished by varying

Cacao was originally cultivated by the Mayans of ancient Mexico, who regarded the plant as a gift from the gods. but the gods didnt make things easy: chocolate is a temperamental ingredient, difficult to work with.

wynn MaCau Pastry Chef

Tahitian vanilla is one of Chef lucs favorite ingredients. luc

Born and raised in southwestern France, Lucs pastry experience includes six years at Ladure Paris under Philippe Andrieu. As Executive Pastry Chef at Wynn Macau, he is responsible for the full range of pastries available at Wynns various outlets. If we peeked into your home refrigerator, what would we see? Three or four kinds of cheese, heavy cream, butter, duck fat, fresh produce and maybe the leftovers of a stew or a soup as they taste a lot better the day after. How would you describe your cooking philosophy? Well thought out, honest, simple flavors. I also have a real respect for the products I use. I like vibrant and authentic flavors, especially for plated desserts. What was your worst kitchen disaster? New Years Eve, Paris. It was an extremely busy time of year, everybody was exhausted. We had a trolley loaded with more than a thousand fresh petits fours that wed spent the whole night making it tilted on its side and crashed onto the floor. Everyone on the team had tears in their eyes. What qualities does a person need to become a great chef? You need to be a good leader, because without a strong team, you will achieve nothing. You should also be a good teacher and a good student so that you can learn new things every day. Be passionate, patient and authentic. Cool on the outside and boiling hot on the inside.

degrees of nutty bitterness and citrus acidity. Appreciating great chocolate, says Luc, is like appreciating great wine. He produces a small dark chocolate bon-bon for me to try, describing it as one of his favorite creations. Have you ever opened a box of mixed chocolates and experienced that delightful moment of suspense before biting into the first one? You know its going to be good, but youre not sure about the details: will it be maple, cherry or coconut cream? Toffee, nougat or caramel? I bite through the ultra-thin outer layer of chocolate and my tongue seeks out the ganache within. It has a soothing buttery smoothness, studded with grains of surprising tartness. Its a great combination, the bright citrus bits serving by contrast to accentuate the dark creaminess of the chocolate.

Yuzu, says Luc. The ganache is melted chocolate and butter mixed with a puree of yuzu rind. Thats the citrus zip you taste. A long moment of silence follows during which Luc respectfully allows me to savor his yuzu chocolate. True quality is impossible to take for granted. It makes you pay attention. It wakes you up. Cacao was originally cultivated by the Mayans of ancient Mexico, who regarded the plant as a gift from the gods. But the gods didnt make things easy: chocolate is a temperamental ingredient, difficult to work with. Easily spoiled by overheating, heated chocolate will also seize up and turn lumpy if it comes into contact with any amount of water, even a tiny bit of moisture trapped in a wooden spoon. To paint the ganache hearts of his bon-bons with chocolate, Luc could use a machine coater called an enrober. For

greater control, he prefers to dip them by hand. The machine cant match his dexterity. To coax his chocolate into form, he uses a surgical assortment of miniature tools: tiny spatulas, knives, forks and a host of other undersized implements. But no tool is as important as his passion for the work. Chocolate is tricky, he says, but the challenge is part of the fun. A very wise person once had this to say about getting by in life: All you need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesnt hurt. Try some chocolate made by Chef Luc chocolate made with love and you might just conclude that it never hurt so good.

The best tastes come from the best ingredients, and the best experience comes from food together with hospitality.

the food of itaLy achieves greatness through simplicity. It is light, fresh and healthy, colorful, delicious, and soulsatisfying. Some food is made for talking about, or looking at. But the food of Italy makes you happiest when its in your mouth, and in your stomach. At Galaxy Macaus Terrazza restaurant, traditional Tuscan cuisine is now being offered for the first time in Macau. Terrazza Chef de Cuisine Alfio Longo, who hails from the Tuscan capital of Florence, has unveiled a new menu, and it is a sunshiny delight, replete with tomatoes, olives and eggplant, seafood, artisanal cheeses, delectable cured meats, and other Italian specialties. Tuscan dishes are traditional and timetested, created not by professional chefs aiming to make their mark with exotic new innovations, but by mothers and grandmothers wanting to make their families happy and contented, with what they know works best. Asked about the greatest influence on his own cooking, Chef Longo does not hesitate. Home, he says. My mamas cooking. Italian cooking embraces simplicity. The best tastes come from the best ingredients, and the best experience comes from food

Diners can watch Chef longo and his team at work in Terrazzas open kitchen. Terrazzalongo

together with hospitality. That guiding philosophy is on display at every moment of a meal at Terrazza. Ask for help choosing your wine: the sommelier not only introduces the wines, but guides you into the wine cellar for a thorough tasting. From the long list of salads on the menu Tuscany goes in big for vegetables you choose a rocket salad, with sun-dried

Flaming, sea salt-encrusted sea bream

cherry tomatoes and kalamata olives. The lemony dressing, enriched with Parmesan Reggiano, is prepared fresh, right in front of you. A pizza Margherita arrives in the three colors of the Italian flag: bright red marinara sauce; fresh, emerald green basil; and a soft white buffalo mozzarella cheese, flown in fresh twice a week from Italy. In Tuscany, youre never far from the sea, and fresh seafood figures prominently on Longos menu. One of the house specialties is sea salt-encrusted sea bream. At your table, a layer of Sambuca a strong Italian anise flavored liqueur is poured over the fish and lit. The flames sear the salty upper crust, which is then lifted away to reveal a beautiful, perfectly cooked filet of bream. The fish is served together with some of the loveliest of Italian ingredients: olive oil, freshly chopped tomato, basil and lemon. Whatever you order at Terrazza, the focus is always on fresh, beautiful, flavorful ingredients. The simple genius of Italian fare for honoring those ingredients has been distilled through generations and centuries of experience, and the highly refined results are wonderfully evident in Terrazzas sunny new menu.

Dinner at Terrazza is so healthy, afterwards you can afford to have a chocolate pizza, topped with fresh sliced strawberries, diced mango, and a fine dusting of confectioners sugar. Terrazza
