MGM x RR1HK Culinary Masters Returns to Macau For Its Third Edition

MGM has announced the return of the third edition of MGM x RR1HK Culinary Masters Macau, to be held at MGM COTAI and MGM MACAU on June 7th and 8th 2025. This is the only RR1 Signature Event in Asia. 

The event showcases harmonious spirit between different cultures and their gastronomic traditions, a refection to its theme “Flavors of Harmony: A Culinary Journey Through East Asia”.

An eight-hand gala dinner alongside a series of masterfully curated cuisines, that will take culinary connoisseurs on a journey of arts and luxury wonders, will be delivered across the two days. MGM will also offer a variety of exclusive activities with engaging entertainment, culture, gastronomy, and luxury retail.

Hubert Wang, President and Chief Operating Officer of MGM China Holdings Limited: “We are honored to once again collaborate with Robb Report Hong Kong to present this prestigious culinary event, welcoming guests from near and afar to experience the epicurean wonders crafted by East Asia’s top chefs. Using culinary arts as a medium, we aim to weave together the rich tapestry of East Asian food cultures, offering our guests a profound taste of cross-cultural heritage.

As Macau is recognized as a Creative City of Gastronomy and the Cultural City of East Asia 2025, this event not only highlights Macau’s unique charm as a crossroad of Eastern and Western cultures but also underscores MGM’s long-standing commitment to bringing top culinary talents to the city. By doing so, we continue to enrich Macau’s cultural tourism experience and enhance its reputation as a ‘golden business card’ for the World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.”

Tak Man, CEO and Publisher of Robb Report Hong Kong: “MGM x RR1HK Culinary Masters Macau 2025 is going to be another unforgettable event. Returning for its third year at the stunning MGM, it will be more than just great dining.  The previous events had been truly unforgettable experiences for our guests, filled with delicious dishes, expert-led workshops, and new friendships. We look forward to continuing the tradition.”

Four illustrious Michelin-starred-chefs are participating in this year’s event, they are:

 Cheung Yat Fung, Executive Chef of Beijing’s three-Michelin-star Chao Shang Chao restaurant, master of Chaozhou cuisine and a leading figure in China’s fine-dining landscape; 

Kang Mingoo, Chef-Owner of Mingles, the only three-Michelin-star restaurant in Seoul, a boundary-pushing visionary who balances traditional Korean flavors and craftsmanship with modern sensibilities; 

Hiroki Nakanoue, the ebullient Chef-Owner of Sushiyoshi, who garnered two Michelin stars by reinventing traditional Edomae sushi-making and omakase with a contemporary twist; and 

Pan Sihui, Chef de Cuisine of Aji, who was just awarded one Michelin star for his bold palate under his ‘Asian Bistronomy’ concept that combines Asian flavors with French culinary artistry.

The chefs promise to blend Chinese, Japanese, and Korean gastronomies into their excellence. Additionally, the event has specially invited:

Yang Dengquan, Executive Sous Chef of the Michelin-starred restaurant Five Foot Road, and 

Antonieta Manhão, a leading figure in Macanese cuisine, to co-create unique and customized cultural culinary experiences for all participants.

On June 6, MGM and Macao University of Tourism will be visiting the famous chefs together with local culinary students and professionals. This is a way to promote local talent development and encourage industry collaboration.
