THE ONE WITH THE TOMATO SAUCE

By Juliana Kung

I have received a few comments that my previous column was a bit on the heavy side, so let me try something lighter for my twelfth column in this summer time issue.

The past two months have been rather eventful for the culinary scene in town, with the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Macau Bailliage welcoming its new Bailli Délégué, Ms. Ada Chio, as well as a newly appointed Committee. Meanwhile, Michelin-starred guests chefs from different parts of the world (Heinz Beck, Dave Pynt, Olivier Elzer and José Avillez to name just a few) have roamed the spectrum of restaurants at the different resorts, creating unique experiences for everyone, especially those with an acquired taste.

Not being able to commit myself to all the exciting dining escapades, I was very glad to have been able to make it to the Disciples Escoffier dinner, which featured a four-hands menu curated by the President of Disciples Escoffier Shenzhen Chef Alan Yu, who helms One-Michelin-starred Ambré-Ciel, and Vice President of Disciples Escoffier Macau, Chef Giulioantonio, who also wears the “toque” of Executive Chef at Mandarin Oriental, Macau.

The 8-course menu included an entrée of delicately assembled Sicilian Red Prawns (my love!) dressed in Yuzu sauce, Salicornia and Chives Oil for a refreshing beginning, which then led to a clever reinterpretation of Xiao Long Bao served in an intensely flavoured Matsutake Consommé.

The meat dish, my favourite of the night, was Baby Pigeon Ballotine crépinette, with Celeriac Purée with Truffle Pigeon Jus. The burnt, savory goodness of the caul fat and pigeon meat in every bite was just mind-blowing.

I was in my own realm savoring every bite of my pigeon dish when a Russian lady at our table, who happened to be in Macau just for this dinner, gushed about how wonderful it would be to have a chef husband.I very quickly replied, “No! Chefs cook lazy food at home!”

And to my surprise, Chef Gianluca and Chef Bobby who were at our table, immediately applauded me in agreement.

“How do you know what?” the gorgeous lady asked.

Well, I didn’t want to “air out my dirty laundry” right there at the table with people who may or may not have known my only chef ex-boyfriend, so I simply replied that I have enough chef friends to know this.

But as I want to make things lighter and more fun for you, my readers, I don’t mind sharing some stories here. (I know what hypocrisy this is. Also, not a Taylor Swift wannabe).

To begin with, until I met him, I had never once had a home-cooked steak that wasn’t butter basted with herbs and seasoned with black pepper. However I soon discovered that my chef ex-boyfriend only had table salt at his home, and he once served me a piece of very mediocre steak, bland.

Then, earlier this year, two days after I was discharged from the hospital in Hong Kong after having a myomectomy done, he was sweet enough to volunteer to make pasta for us. Being horribly in pain inside-out, I sluggishly told him that the doctor had specifically said that my digestive system was affected by the general anaesthesia that had been necessary for the surgery, as well as the strong antibiotics that the doctor prescribed me, so I could not eat al dente or anything too stimulating for my stomach, including spices.

After taking note of these dietary restrictions, he promptly hopped into the kitchen to get started. Soon a delicious tomato aroma filled the air, which awoke my appetite.

I said “Grazie” as he served me and quickly started taking big bites of this yummy bowl of al dente pasta!

Initially I thought to myself “Okay, I’ll just bite them into smaller pieces so that my tummy won’t dislike it too much.”

But two more bites later, my mouth and my stomach began to burn. I turned to my chef to reconfirm if any spices had been put into the tomato sauce. As the pain in my stomach grew, my anger grew twice as much as he told me, “Yes, I put chilli but I took it out of before I put it on the plate.”

I was in too much pain with three incisions and two stitched-up wounds on my uterus and a burning stomach to even yell at him, so I just uttered an agonised “Whyyyyy?!” I

n the midst of my suffering, he told me, “Because the sauce wouldn’t taste as good without it.”

I couldn’t even manage to gasp a “Porco Dio!” at him as I was consumed by all the different degrees of pain in my body and I just had to lie down.

There are more stories to tell, but I should stop here because I’m running out of space in this column. As speechless as I was when all of these things happened, it’s actually giving me a good laugh now that I’m typing it out. The best part though, is knowing that he will never find out that I wrote about him because apparently, “Chefs don’t have time to read!” — not even their girlfriend’s column!

CREATIVE STREETS

Exploring the street art of Macau

The first ever Guide to Street Art in Macau, by Filipa Simões was launched at the end of May at Ponte 9 – Creative Platform. The publication is the first of its kind in Macau, and provides a unique perspective on the urban landscape of the city, gathering street art works from Macau, Taipa, and Coloane.

The goal of this project was to make the street art culture in the city more tangible, readable, and collectable, and to aid in the consolidation and recognition of urban culture in Macau.

“Street art is a powerful instrument to promote a city’s cultural identity and to activate dilapidated and forgotten urban areas,” says Filipa. “The goal of this book was to highlight and make accessible Macau’s street art, aiding in the consolidation and recognition of urban culture in Macau. It is also an invitation to stroll through the city to discover its hidden treasures and unique stories.”

With street art work collected in 2023, the guide offers a curated selection of ephemeral pieces and alternative itineraries around the city, organised into six hubs: four in Macau and two in Taipa and Coloane.

“Street art is intrinsically linked with the place, often interpreting it and transforming it. It adds a layer to our city, that is already culturally dense and fascinating,” the author comments. “Macau is visited by millions of tourists, but they seldom venture outside the most famous itineraries. Street art can raise awareness about the city’s hidden corners, transforming them into a living canvas of stories.”

The book launch event was attended by the author, Filipa Simões, the project coordinator and President of CURB (Center for Architecture and Urbanism), Nuno Soares, the project photographer, David Lopo, and local street artists ANHZ and FEW, also known as AAFK.

Filipa Simões is a designer and teacher based in Macau since 2004. She is the Supervisor of the Bachelor of Design at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Saint Joseph, where she has been teaching since 2013.

Fascinated with cities, food, books and all things graphic, Filipa develops her creative work across different platforms – as a graphic artist, creative director and teacher. She is the creative director and founder of WHYDESIGN and director of PONTE 9 Creative Platform.

“Writing this book was a journey of discovery of places, artworks and the meaning behind them,” she says. “It was surprising how each photograph revealed to us details of the artworks that were not evident to the naked eye.

“The street art in Macau is as diverse as the city itself and there are several works that resonate with me. I find it inspiring when the artists can achieve a subtle dialogue with the place, such as the artwork featured on the book cover. The set of murals at the Macau-Hong Kong Container Terminal (pier 5A), which were created by female artists during the !Outloud Festival in 2018, is quite memorable, with its large scale and relationship with the port environment.”

The publisher of the book, CURB, is a non-profit institution established in Macau to promote research, education, production and dissemination of knowledge in architecture, urbanism, and urban culture. The Center stands as an exchange platform between academia, civil society, professional practice, and government institutions, serving the interests of the overall community through research studies, workshops, conferences, exhibitions, competitions, and other initiatives.

“Guide to Street Art in Macau” is published by CURB – Center for Architecture and Urbanism, with the sponsorship of the Cultural Development Fund. It is available for purchase at CURB headquarters in Ponte 9 (R. Lorchas, Ponte No.9 3/F) and in selected bookstores across Macau (Livraria Portuguesa, Júbilo 31 Books, Pin-to Bookstore, Cultural Plaza Bookstore, Universal Gallery and Bookstore).

BON APPÉTIT

Le Bouchon is serving up authentic French cuisine in the heart of the city.

Tucked away on Rua Central in the heart of the city is a surprisingly authentic new French bistro Le Bouchon, serving up delicious cuisine from the famous gastronomic city of Lyon.

“Lyon is the capital of gastronomy in France. Most of the typical dishes in French cuisine are from Lyon, so it was an easy choice to focus on this region,” explains Bernard Peres, co-owner and manager of the restaurant.

Dining enthusiasts in Macau may recognize the location of Le Bouchon as having previously been home to Italian restaurant La Buca. When his Italian business partner left Macau in 2021, Bernard continued to operate La Buca, but eventually decided to change it to French cuisine instead.

“There are a few Italian restaurants and pizza places in Macau, but actually not so many French restaurants, and certainly nothing like a cozy bistro, so we thought it was a good opportunity,” he says.

Originally from Marseilles, Bernard has lived in Macau for 27 years, and is no stranger to operating businesses here. Previously he owned Le Bistro in Taipa and Gourmet Fine Foods.

“We opened Le Bouchon in January and considering the situation in Macau, we are doing OK so far. We are open for lunch and dinner, and dinner is particularly busy. We are normally full in the evenings, so guests need to make a booking.”

The cozy bistro has seating for just 17 upstairs, and also has a small private dining room downstairs for a maximum of six persons. Despite its small size, the table arrangements do not feel crowded and the intimate environment still allows for easy conversations.

Working in the kitchen is another long-term French resident of Macau, Chef Eve Duron who was previously the executive chef at the old Mandarin Oriental, and continued to work there after it was rebranded as Grand Lapa. After retiring, he began teaching part-time at the Macau University of Science and Technology, and Bernard has now invited him to bring his culinary talents to La Bouchon.

“I think he was bored in his retirement anyway,” laughs the restaurant owner.

According to Bernard, some of the most popular dishes on the menu are also the most classic ones in French cuisine, like, for example, baked Burgundy Snails in Garlic Butter (Les Escargots de Bourgogne), and Sauteed Frog Legs with Garlic and Parsley (Les Cuisses de Grenouilles Sautées à l’Ail et au Persil).

Other dishes that come highly recommended include “Rossini” Beef sirloin steak, with pan-fried foie-gras (Le Tournedos Rossini) and Pike River Fish Quenelles in Lobster Sauce (Les Quenelles de Brochet, Sauce Nantua).

On our visit to La Bouchon we also enjoyed the Beef Tartare for our entrée, and an amazing Tatin Apple Tart to finish off the meal.

Cheese and beef Fondues are available but require 48-hour advance bookings, and the lunch set menu for MOP138 is a particularly good deal.

“We change the lunch set menu every week and offer a different soup and dessert every day,” says Bernard.

“We order oysters from Brittany twice week, so they are always extremely fresh,” he adds. “We always use high quality ingredients and we don’t try to do anything ‘East meets West’. We want to keep the original recipes and authentic flavours.”

Chatting with Bernard as we finish our meal, we wonder what brought him to Macau all those years ago.

“I had been living in Portugal for 16 years running another business, so when I came to Asia, Macau was a good choice. I arrived in December 1996 and at that time Macau really just felt like a big village.”

Interestingly, his other business is manufacturing collectible model cars and planes. He has one factory in China and one in Bangladesh, and is currently launching his first collection in Australia.

“Running any business in Macau is a challenge and restaurants are no different, especially now that many people go across the border to Zhuhai on the weekends. Fortunately, I have my other business, so I can still enjoy offering authentic French cuisine to customers here.”

PLAYING TOUGH

Hit Hong Kong TV series Sinister Beings 2 features a familiar face in a tough guy role

Regular viewers of TVB Hong Kong are sure to have watched the hit series Sinister Beings which premiered in 2021. And recently, the finale of the second season of the popular crime drama aired, leaving fans hoping for a third season.

The series was directed by Lau Gar Ho and stars Ruco Chan, Ben Wong, Rosina Lam and Cheung Wing Hong among other big names in the Hong Kong acting world. Two senior detectives Hui Chun-sum (Ruco Chan) and Shum Wai-lik (Ben Wong) are investigating transnational crimes. Along the way they discover that Ngai Chi-lok (Cheung Wing Hong), the culprit behind the Tiger Cull case, sent some secret message to the dark web before he was apprehended, and transferred a substantial amount in cryptocurrency. Soon a mysterious person plots to launch a terrorist attack.

As the officers navigate a series of conspiracies, in one episode they encounter a very sinister looking mob boss, played by someone who is no stranger to people in Macau, our very own ‘friend to the stars’, Reggie Martin.

Having grown up on the tough streets of East Chicago, Reggie seemed to have had no trouble getting in to character for the role.

“I was playing the head mafia boss and I love movies like The Godfather and Scarface, so I had a lot of fun and I think I really mastered the role, even though I’m not an actor. It’s definitely a role I would like to continue to play,” says Reggie.

Despite his enthusiasm for the part, sadly Reggie won’t be reprising this particular role because his character gets killed off, violently stabbed in the neck by an assassin.

“I was only in two episodes. I came in one episode and I ended up being terminated in the next one,” Reggie laughs. “And it’s funny because I joked with the director beforehand about this. I said “hey man, I’ll do it, but don’t have the black man being killed in the first scene. We’re always the first ones to be killed”, and then who was the first one to be killed? Me! I got stabbed in the neck. It was brutal!”

Reggie was initially contacted about being part of the Hong Kong TV series by Liviu Covalschi, an actor and stuntman who used to live in Macau.

“I want to say a big thanks to Liviu, because he was the one that put us in contact. I’m very thankful and grateful that he made it work. He was awesome.”

Even though he only had a small role to play, Reggie clearly had a great time on set.

“My project was really just 18 hours. They came to pick me up at three in the morning and I didn’t leave till ten o’clock that night, so it was long day. But the cast and crew made it simple for me because they know acting is not my profession, it’s just a hobby. They gave me a script and coached me, and they told me to say whatever I would say in real life and then let me just run with it,” Reggie comments.

“There were so many top Hong Kong actors involved, so it was an honour to be a part of it. But it was also very intimidating. People think it’s easy. They think you just get up and play a role like you’re practising in the mirror. But they don’t realise there’s like 100 people there, with the camera people, makeup artists, and all the cast and crew, so many people just staring at you doing your role. And if you mess up, you just feel like you’ve wasted everybody’s time.”

This was not Reggie’s first time on a set though. Back in 1996 he was an extra on a comedy movie called Original Gangsters. He was also an extra in Now You See Me 2 which starred Daniel Radcliffe and had scenes filmed here in Macau in 2015. And in 2013 he acted for some scenes in Hong Kong in From Vegas to Macau starring Chow Yun Fat.

“Not many people can say they’ve been in movies with Daniel Radcliffe and Chow Yun Fat,” he laughs.

Reflecting on his latest performance, Reggie comments: “I think I did a good job for my first time with a proper speaking role. And I credit the crew because they made me feel so comfortable on the set. It was fun and I’d love to do it again. TV dramas are so popular here.”

Almost as popular as Reggie’s Instagram page which has over 4.6 million followers. Not surprisingly, his scenes in Sinister Beings 2 have generated a lot of interest and likes on Instagram too, achieving over a million views ().

When he’s not going viral on Instagram or playing a gangster, Reggie is one of the co-founding members and vice-chair of AMCHAM in Macau, as well as a long serving executive at The Venetian. While being based in Macau for 23 years, he has always maintained strong ties with his hometown of East Chicago, and last year in December he organised the first Annual Reggie Martin Basketball Classic established to promote the best high school basketball talent from East Chicago and Northwest Indiana, with great success. With his big acting role done, Reggie is now focusing his attention on planning his next basketball event scheduled for the end of this year.

How does he feel about taking on these ambitious projects?

“I always like to walk by faith and not by sight,” he says with typically Reggie optimism.

FULL IMMERSION

Wynn presents three spectacularly entrancing productions at Illuminarium

Recently, Wynn unveiled its third spectacular show, custom-made for its immersive theatre venue, Illuminarium. The latest show entitled Music in Light brings classic orchestral masterpieces to life in a stunning audiovisual experience. It joins two other impressive shows already at the venue, SPACE: A Journey to the Moon Beyond which premiered in December last year, and WILD: An Immersive Safari Experience launched in March this year. All three shows are currently screening daily.

Illuminarium is equipped with one of the most advanced immersive systems in the world, providing audiences with a multi-sensory, vivid experience. A total of 2.4 billion pixels are transmitted on all four walls and the floor through 4K laser projections. At the same time, more than 2,000 speakers create a virtual world of sound that is not only synchronized with the visuals, but also with the visitor’s position, with beamforming sounds creating a wholly immersive auditory adventure. Meanwhile, Lidar-based movement sensors detect movement and transmit vibrations to specific areas of the floor, and digital scent technology even adds fragrances to the experience.

Illuminarium Experiences was founded in 2019, partnering with media production company RadicalMedia and architecture and design firm Rockwell Group. It has created permanent shows in Las Vegas, Atlanta and Toronto, and now here in Macau at Wynn Palace.

The first show presented in Macau, SPACE: A Journey to the Moon Beyond allows visitors to marvel at the vast expanse of the universe as they fly through a technicolor nebula, kick up dust on the moon, see Saturn’s rings up close, and weave through an asteroid belt. The show also highlights the significant achievements of China’s aerospace industry over the past 30 years.

The second show launched at Wynn Palace, WILD: An Immersive Safari Experience is a 45-minute awe-inspiring safari journey featuring 47 species of exotic animals native to the African continent in eight chapters. Shot on location in Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa and Tanzania, the adventure was directed and produced by RadicalMedia, the team behind the award-winning movie Hamilton.

The WILD creative process took two years to bring to fruition and required the expertise of talented filmmakers and technologists to capture the wondrous African natural habitats from sunrise to sunset. With the advanced technical system in the dedicated space, visitors can wander amidst the wildlife, hear the heavy steps of the elephant herds, move amongst graceful giraffes on the grasslands, encounter leopards, and even track the elusive African rhinoceros, all while taking in the majestic landscapes and gazing at the savanna sunrise and the Kenyan star-filled night sky.

The latest presentation, also by RadicalMedia, Music in Light, uses the most innovative and modern digital art techniques to vividly showcase the masterpieces of world-renowned composers such as Mozart, Vivaldi, Brahms, and Strauss. Taking over a year to create, the show features strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion and organ keyboards, as well as a borrowed a Stradivarius violin worth US$12 million.
The visual techniques used are a combination of cinematic in-camera effects, lasers, and 2D/3D animation. Audiences are immersed in dynamic images at over 185 million pixels in full 8K, filmed with special lenses called Macro Diopters that create a visual world unique to each piece, and also interacting with the four walls and the floor of Illuminarium.

Hollywood sound engineers have mixed the audio for this show so that it envelops the audience completely through HOLOPLOT, one of the most advanced sound systems in the world, to complete the 360-degree immersive experience. Haptic technology, which creates a sense of touch, further amplifies the sensory experience, accentuating the highs and lows of the musical compositions, giving visitors a unique opportunity to actually feel the music.

At the opening of Music in Light, Mr. Dennis Liu, Creative Director of RadicalMedia commented: “The endless possibilities of Illuminarium allow our team the artistic freedom to run wild in our creations. The immersive experiences can evoke strong emotions that go beyond a 2D screen, fostering deeper connections between users and the content, resulting in memorable and impactful sensory experiences. With Music in Light, you are able to be up close, right next to the instruments and musicians with personified projections of the music telling their stories with symbolic visuals.”

Illuminarium is open between 1:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday featuring three major shows: “SPACE”, “WILD” and “MUSIC IN LIGHT”. “SPACE” first admission is at 1:15 p.m. and last session is at 2:15 p.m.; “WILD” first admission is at 3:30 p.m. with last admission at 5:00 p.m.; “MUSIC IN LIGHT” first admission is at 6:30 p.m. with last admission at 8:00 p.m.

JOURNEYS OF SELF DISCOVERY

By G!NN!E

Many popular Hong Kong and Mainland films and TV shows have used Macau as a backdrop, but the latest original Macau-made TV series, Taste of Love hopes to take viewers beyond the city’s glamorous locations to explore its rich history, folklore and culture instead.

‘Taste of Love’ is an original locally-produced TV series by director Oliver Fa, which premiered in early May. With just three episodes, the series uses the unique flavours of Macanese cuisine to evoke memories and narrate a cross-cultural romance.

Cuisine is an indispensable element of the series, and one of the main characters in the story was inspired by the director’s mother and her cooking skills.

“When the Portuguese sailed to Macau in the 16th and 17th centuries, they passed by Africa, India, and Southeast Asia, collecting many spices and gradually integrating local cooking methods to create Macau’s unique cuisine,” says Fa.

The intermarriage between the Portuguese and various local communities, including the Chinese in Macau, led to the unique combination of ingredients, dishes, and cooking methods which today characterise Macanese cuisine.

‘Taste of Love’ centres around a young woman’s search for a recipe for Portuguese style seafood rice called ‘Eternal Flower’, created by her grandfather.

Many years ago, a young man from Portugal, Vincent (played by Kelsey Wilhelm) visits Macau to work as chef at Macau Government House. Here he meets a young local woman, Fa (Adela Sou) and they develop feelings for one another and have a fleeting romance.

Eventually though, Vincent decides that he needs to return to his family in Portugal. Before he leaves he creates the ‘Eternal Flower’ dish to commemorate their relationship. However, Fa is distraught that Vincent is leaving and tears the recipe in half.

Years later, Vincent’s granddaughter Lucía (Joana Soares) is living in Portugal and becomes curious about her family history. She travels to Macau to learn more about her grandfather and his ‘Eternal Flower’ recipe. Here she meets a local chef by the name of António (Guilio Acconci), who happens to be the son of Fa, whom her grandfather once fell in love with.
And thus ensues a tale of self-discovery, love and friendships across time and cultures, connected by the flavours of Macanese cuisine.

“We hope that the characters resonate with local people,” says the director. “In the movies and TV shows produced in the west, we are often just the supporting characters, while in the local ones, foreign characters are also usually supporting roles; it seems to be a long-standing tradition,” notes Fa, himself from a mixed-race background. In this series however, he hopes to blur such boundaries, especially geographical and ethnic ones.

The two leading actors in the series, Guilio Acconci and Joana Soares for example, are both from families with mixed ethnic backgrounds, and have lived in Macau since childhood. They are both fluent in Cantonese and can also switch seamlessly between English and Portuguese, a linguistic talent common to some people in Macau.

“Although I am different from the character in the sense that I am actually from Macau, I can relate to her journey for self-discovery,” says Joana. “As a person with a very third culture upbringing, I have struggled with identity my whole life and I think I was able to explore that aspect a little with Lúcia. Those emotions of feeling just a little ‘lost’ but still hopeful that she will eventually find her answers and sense of ‘home’.”

In telling this story, the production team hoped to present Macau as more than just a city of casinos and tourists, but to highlight local characteristics to showcase a multi-layered Macau.

“We hope we can also portray the unique charm of Macau and it’s people,” Guilio Acconci says.

A major challenge for any local production is promotion and distribution, but fortunately for the director and his team, local broadcaster TDM provided a lot of support in presenting the series to local households.

Indeed, the creation of this series was no accident. Fa’s team stood out as a talented group in the inaugural TDM TV Drama Screenplay and Production Contest last year, winning the award for ‘Best Screenplay’, competing against 14 other entrants. They were awarded MOP790,000 which they used to bring the series to reality.

Despite the challenges for local productions, Guilio believes that developing local stories and dramas for the screen is not impossible.

“We want to change the narrative that ‘You can’t do this in Macau!’” he says. “Working on this production has got me to start dreaming, why not Macau? Why don’t we do something? And then the next step is for the local audiences to feel the same. We can definitely produce quality content in Macau, so I think this is another series that we should be proud of.”

Acconci has taken part in filming in various regions including Hong Kong and mainland China, and notices a subtle difference when working in Macau with a local crew.

“There is a real sense of human warmth here, which is very special, so I hope more production teams from other regions will come here to work and have the chance to feel it too.”

“I know for sure this is just the beginning for Macau’s TV and movie production industry,” adds Joana. “Honestly I couldn’t be more excited about it as it’s something I always manifested and dreamed of. People used to say Macau was definitely not the place to develop a career in acting or cinema, but I am so excited that that is slowly changing and I am more than honored to be part of that history. Macau has so much talent and people who are passionate about film and acting. We just need to be given the opportunity and the trust and we can take it to new levels.”

Kelsey Wilhelm also agrees: “There’s such an amazing talent pool in Macau, and perhaps because it’s such a small market the artists put themselves into the projects wholeheartedly – never complaining about early mornings, long hours or obstacles to overcome. That forges a bond on set and means that you always have friends on the next project. My co-actor Adela Sou was incredible at setting the emotional tone of the scenes, which made my job easy. Overall, I think that the results surpassed expectations and I hope that this encourages more investment in local talent and artistic productions.”

Adela played the role of Fa and admits that working in the film industry is not as glamorous as people might think.

“When you go through the trials of this industry and see what it’s really like, you might sometimes question whether you really want to continue. The true brilliance is not just in the moments on screen, but in the unwavering persistence of all the cast and crew after seeing the show become a reality.”
