(Hong Kong and Macau, 30 January 2019) – Fook Lam Moon, Galaxy Macau^TM’s Michelin Plate Cantonese restaurant, is launching a first in Macau dining experience which brings to life the most prestigious culinary event in Chinese history – the Manchu Han Imperial Feast, supporting of the Macau Government’s direction to promote Macau as a City of Gastronomy. Reservations are available from now for connoisseurs to taste this sophisticated feast!

The Manchu Han Imperial Feast was first held on Qing Emperor Kangxi’s 66th birthday. It provided the Emperor with the perfect opportunity to celebrate the diverse cultural heritage of China. The feast encapsulated over 5,000 years of Chinese history, drawing from culinary traditions of different ethnic groups, especially those of Manchu and Han people. With more than 108 mouthwatering Manchu and Han Chinese dishes, the feast lasted for three days, spanning six banquets, and was reserved for emperors.

After Hong Kong’s Guobin restaurant attempted it, back in 1977 until now, Fook Lam Moon presents the first ever Manchu Han Imperial Feast Degustation Menu in Macau. The prestigious feast introduces the essence of the Manchu Han Imperial Feast through 15 exquisite dishes selected from the two most important banquets: Longmen Banquet and Luming Banquet, and reinterpreted into a modern set menu fit for gourmands.

The dazzling feast at Galaxy Macau offers a selection of the exquisite dishes enjoyed by the emperor and his guests, using the finest, rarest delicacies of our day prepared to exacting standards. The talented culinary team led by Galaxy Macau’s Asian Culinary Head, Chef Simon Tho and Fook Lam Moon’s Chef de Cuisine, Chef Au Yeung Chung Kei, work together with culinary consultant Chef Lam Chan Kuok, who received a “Medal of Merit” from Macau Government. They have made meticulous preparations together to ensure the quality of the feast. This includes the sourcing of ingredients, tableware and serving methods.
