At the heart of the event is an eight-hands gala dinner on June 7, which will see four MICHELIN-starred chefs unveil their interpretation of harmony through an extraordinary blend of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean gastronomy.

Cheung Yat Fung is the master of refined Chaozhou cuisine from Beijing’s three-star Chao Shang Chao. He will be joined by Kang Mingoo (the trailblazer behind Seoul’s Mingles), Hiroki Nakanoue (the dynamic chef of Sushiyoshi), and Pan Sihui, the rising star behind Aji, known for his bold take on Asian bistronomy with a French twist.

Attention cocktail aficionados! Under the leadership of Head Mixologist Mark Lloyd, Wynn Palace’s Wing Lei Bar is redefining Macau’s cocktail scene, blending classic techniques with a culinary twist and a personality-driven approach to its services.

A seasoned industry innovator, Lloyd has shaped bar concepts across five continents, including stints in Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Shanghai at the acclaimed J. Boroski

At Wing Lei Bar, indulge in cocktails in an interior reminiscent of a vintage jewelry box, which beckons customers to embark on a creative sensory journey.

Their selection includes both the classics, such as the Margarita, Sidecar, and Breakfast Gimlet, and more experimental cocktails, such as the Hong Kong favorite Yuenyeung, Pandantini, and the Passionfruit Martini
