[June 8, 2026, Macau] MGM is committed to reinforcing Macau’s status as a Creative City of Gastronomy and promoting the city’s distinctive culinary culture. In line with this vision, MGM joins hands with renowned Macanese chef Antonieta Fernandes Manhão “Chef Neta” and the Association of Macao Fine Cuisine and Culture to launch a month-long program, titled “Casa to MGM: A Celebration of Macanese Cuisine”, taking place from June 6 to July 5 at Rossio, MGM MACAU. The program invites guests on an immersive culinary journey to discover Macau’s unique East-meets-West culture through the universal language of taste. 

At the heart of the program is a limited-time Macanese menu, A Living Table of Macau, inspired by the recipes in Chef Neta’s award-winning cookbook, Receita di Casa – Homemade Macanese Cuisine. Set within the Grande Praça, with a colossal façade inspired by Lisbon’s iconic architecture, Rossio provides the perfect backdrop for a dining experience infused with Macanese-Portuguese charm. The curated menu brings the cookbook to life, featuring traditional dishes such as Macanese Prawn Lacassa, Mixed Minchi, Shrimp with White Radish Curry, and Pork Ribs with Balichão and Tamarind, each evoking the warmth and conviviality of Macanese family gatherings.

To mark the launch, “Heritage Encounter with Chef Neta” was held on June 6 and 7 at Rossio, featuring a book signing and sharing session led by Chef Neta and the cookbook’s editor, Dorris Lei. The event also included pastry masterclasses, where participants learned to craft traditional Macanese cornstarch biscuits under Chef Neta’s guidance.

Macanese cuisine is recognized by UNESCO as the world’s first fusion cuisine and is also listed as part of Macau’s intangible cultural heritage, underscoring its cultural significance and global appeal. Over the years, MGM has actively promoted this culinary legacy through various training programs and initiatives in collaboration with Chef Neta. With MGM’s support, Chef Neta and her team participated in the ceremony of Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2025 in Saudi Arabia, where her cookbook received dual honors, including Best Trilingual Cookbook and Best Portuguese Cookbook, further elevating Macanese cuisine on the global stage.

Guests are invited to experience authentic Macanese cuisine and Macau’s rich culinary charm at Rossio. Reservations and enquiries can be made at (853) 8802 2372. During the promotional period, the trilingual (Chinese, English, and Portuguese) cookbook Receita di Casa – Homemade Macanese Cuisine will also be available for sale, offering a unique opportunity to take home the flavors of Macanese tradition.
