The Huaiyang Garden, The Londoner Macao
Curated by 'The Godfather of Huaiyang Cuisine' Zhou Xiaoyan, The Huaiyang Garden showcases the sublime flavours of timeless Huaiyang cuisine. The restaurant has become a popular fine dining option immediately following its opening.

Recognised as one of the four great Chinese culinary traditions, Huaiyang cuisine features fresh, light yet powerful flavours, consummate knife skills and precise cooking methods, epitomising Chinese gastronomic brilliance. Chef Zhou is credited with introducing innovations based around contemporary techniques and presentation to further refine this classic cuisine. 'Shredded bean curd with crab meat and egg white in superior soup' is enhanced with king crab legs, layered egg white and the famous Yangzhou snack, chasan, to create extraordinarily complex flavours, while for 'steamed Hilsa herring with 20-year-old Huadiao wine', all 164 bones are skilfully removed while maintaining the shape of the fish, demonstrating meticulous preparation and virtuosic craftsmanship. Other signature dishes include 'braised Hokkaido sea cucumber with shrimp roe' and 'stewed meatball with crab meat and crab roe in superior soup'.

The interior design of The Huaiyang Garden is inspired by ancient Chinese gardens with winding paths offering perfectly composed glimpses of scenery, guiding guests on a journey of surprise and delight. Here, guests can enjoy premium, authentic Huaiyang delicacies offering a perfect combination of taste and presentation.

Zi Yat Heen, Four Seasons Hotel Macao
A Michelin-starred restaurant since 2009, Zi Yat Heen has been the jewel in the crown of the hotel from its very first day. With his wealth of experience, Executive Chinese Chef Charles Cheung mesmerises guests with refined Cantonese classics that stay true to the essence of the cuisine. Using the finest ingredients and following meticulous traditional cooking techniques, Zi Yat Heen captures the essence of classic Cantonese cuisine.
