Macau, Macau Special Administrative Region, April 19, 2024 / TRAVELINDEX / Sands Lifestyle presented an exceptional Thai gourmet experience last week as part of its exclusive Sands Celebrity Chef Series. The exclusive nine-course menus took place from April 11 to 13 at the Michelin-starred restaurant The Mews at The London Macao, in collaboration with the Bangkok gourmet restaurant Khaan. The invited VIP guests from across Asia enjoyed an unforgettable culinary experience of innovative cuisine, thanks to the collaborative culinary artistry of Chef Nongnuch “Nuch” Sae-eiw (The Mews) and Sujira “Aom” Pongmorn (Khaan).

The natural synergy between the two talented chefs in this first-time collaboration contributed significantly to the culinary delight – a result of their many shared experiences. Both Chef Nuch and Chef Aom are originally from Bangkok and have held leading positions in Michelin-starred restaurants. The two up-and-coming chefs also share a similar culinary philosophy: the reinterpretation of traditional Thai dishes and a passion for taking guests on an unforgettable and meticulously crafted journey through the authentic flavors of Thailand. This is precisely what the dynamic duo achieved with their exclusive four-course menus, where each chef took turns presenting a signature dish.

Chef Nuch opened the menu with two flavorful morsels: Mieng Kham Lobster and RAY-RAI Pao Hue, a regal snack of rice flour dumplings shaped like a bird's nest, filled with grilled abalone and caviar. Chef Aom, Thailand's first winner of the Michelin Young Chef Award, delighted guests with one of her most famous dishes: umami-rich and wonderfully fragrant sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves and served with crab dip. The two innovative chefs also collaborated on dishes, including the taste sensation "Crispy Japanese Amadai Fish Fillet with Ant Eggs and Young Mangosteen," which left a lasting impression on guests. Each evening was a celebration of Thai cuisine at its finest, and guests were captivated by every sensational bite.

Food lovers can look forward to more unique and extraordinary moments from Sands Lifestyle, including exclusive culinary events and one-of-a-kind experiences. Next up in the Sands Celebrity Chef Series, at the end of the month, is the legendary "godfather" of Huaiyang cuisine, Zhou Xiaoyan, star chef of the two-Michelin-starred restaurant The Huaiyang Garden.
