After two highly acclaimed editions in partnership with Robb Report Hong Kong, MGM is excited to present the third edition of MGM x RR1HK Culinary Masters Macau in 2025, promising yet another unforgettable celebration of culinary excellence at MGM COTAI and MGM MACAU from June 7 to 8 with the only RR1 Signature Event in Asia. In honor of Macao's accolades as the Creative City of Gastronomy by UNESCO and the Culture City of East Asia 2025, MGM x RR1HK Culinary Masters Macau 2025 seeks to showcase the harmonious spirit between the three cultures and their gastronomic traditions, with an eight-hand gala dinner designed to the theme of "Flavors of Harmony: A Culinary Journey Through East Asia," alongside a series of masterfully curated weekend experience that will take culinary connoisseurs on a journey through the wonders of arts and luxury.

Hubert Wang, President and Chief Operating Officer of MGM China Holdings Limited, says, "We are honored to once again collaborate with Robb Report Hong Kong to present this prestigious culinary event, welcoming guests from near and afar to experience the epicurean wonders crafted by East Asia's top chefs. Using culinary arts as a medium, we aim to weave together the rich tapestry of East Asian food cultures, offering our guests a profound taste of cross-cultural heritage. As Macao is recognized as a Creative City of Gastronomy and the Cultural City of East Asia 2025, this event not only highlights Macao's unique charm as a crossroad of Eastern and Western cultures but also underscores MGM's long-standing commitment to bringing top culinary talents to the city. By doing so, we continue to enrich Macao's cultural tourism experience and enhance its reputation as a 'golden business card' for the World Centre of Tourism and Leisure."

Tak Man, CEO and Publisher of Robb Report Hong Kong, says, "MGM x RR1HK Culinary Masters Macau 2025 is shaping up to be another unforgettable event. Returning for its third year at the stunning MGM, this event is all about more than just great dining. Over the two days and one night, our special guests will interact with our Culinary Masters and enjoy interactive cooking demos and masterclasses. With a focus on both local and international culinary traditions, the event promises a rich, vibrant, special, and unrivalled experience. Our MGM x RR1HK Culinary Masters Macau events have been truly unforgettable experiences for our guests, filled with delicious dishes, expert-led workshops, and new friendships. Our guests have left with a lifetime of memories and new friendships. We look forward to continuing the tradition."

This year, four illustrious Michelin-starred-chefs are joining forces in Macao to celebrate the "Flavors of Harmony" at MGM x RR1HK Culinary Masters Macau 2025, including Cheung Yat Fung, Executive Chef of Beijing's three-Michelin-star Chao Shang Chao restaurant, master of Chaozhou cuisine and a leading figure in China's fine-dining landscape; Kang Mingoo, Chef-Owner of Mingles, the only three-Michelin-star restaurant in Seoul, a boundary-pushing visionary who balances traditional Korean flavors and craftsmanship with modern sensibilities; Hiroki Nakanoue, the ebullient Chef-Owner of Sushiyoshi, who garnered two Michelin stars by reinventing traditional Edomae sushi-making and omakase with a contemporary twist; and Pan Sihui, Chef de Cuisine of Aji, who was just awarded one Michelin star for his bold palate under his 'Asian Bistronomy' concept that combines Asian flavors with French culinary artistry. The chefs will present their creative interpretations of harmony in a marvelous blend of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean gastronomic excellence. Additionally, the event has specially invited Yang Dengquan, Executive Sous Chef of the Michelin-starred restaurant Five Foot Road and Antonieta Manhão, a leading figure in Macanese cuisine, to co-create unique and customized cultural culinary experiences for all participants.

Across the two days, MGM will also offer a variety of exclusive activities with engaging programs spanning entertainment, culture, gastronomy, and luxury retail. Guests are invited to learn Michelin-starred techniques in intimate hands-on sessions at the Culinary Master Cooking Classes, and deep-dive into maotai, Champagne, sake and caviar tastings in a series of curated masterclasses. Dine at a delectable Sichuan-style luncheon hosted by one-Michelin-star Chef Yang Dengquan at Five Foot Road and discover the wonders of Chengdu Mansion-style cuisine. Immerse in the essence of Chinese culture and heritage through a series of captivating experiences — enjoy the highly anticipated "Macau 2049" residency at the MGM Theater, directed by renowned filmmaker Zhang Yimou, a theatre production that blends millennia-old intangible culture heritage with cutting-edge technology. Explore the treasures of the Maritime Silk Road at the POLY MGM MUSEUM, the new cultural landmark in Macao; and dive into the "Brilliant Stars – The Civilization of Ancient Shu Immersive Digital Art Experience," which features the Sanxingdui and Jinsha archaeological sites at MGM MACAU. Last but not least, guests can complement their leisure experience in the city with a bespoke luxury shopping experience at One Central Macau, accompanied by tailored services and exclusive shopping vouchers.

To promote local talent development and encourage industry collaboration, on June 6, MGM is going to join hands with Macao University of Tourism for culinary exchange programs, targeting local culinary students and professionals during the visit of these internationally renowned chefs.
