From the Editor: Our tasty offering
Here’s a note from Gonçalo César de Sá, Macao Magazine’s Editor‑in‑Chief, for the July issue.
Arts & Culture
Gastronomy Special
Tuck into two delicious features on Macanese cuisine at home and abroad before hitting the streets and meeting Macao’s surviving hawkers. Celebrate the city’s rich gastronomic history with us…
Reclaiming Macanese cuisine
We look into the origins and evolution of Macanese cuisine that must overcome modern challenges to stay alive.
A global gastronomy
There are a few celebrated restaurants that pay homage to Macao’s homegrown cuisine out in the world and we flick through their menus.
Eats on the streets
Meet Macao’s street food hawkers, both old and new, as they keep the tradition alive.
Musicians on the Mainland
Soulful Macao couple Eva Lam and Sin Wong have moved from the SAR to Dali, an ancient city in Yunnan province. They’re taking their self-penned tunes to the Mainland masses.
Lights, camera, action!
Hundreds of filmstars, movie makers and fans of cinema graced the glittering fourth edition of the International Film Festival and Awards Macao last month.
Through the lens
Award-winning Macao filmmaker Tracy Choi always champions the city’s local movie industry. Fresh off the back of a Macao International Film Festival and Awards win for ‘Years of Macau’, we speak to the director about style, scripting and government support.
Location, location, location
For decades now, Macao has provided the perfect backdrop for filmmakers from across the globe. Big budget flicks and artistic masterpieces have been shot in the SAR due its glitzy and gritty locations. We choose our favourite movies which were entirely – or at least partly – filmed in our picturesque city.
A design for life
Macao architect Carlos Marreiros’ Red December exhibition is at Tap Seac Gallery until next month. The artist tells us all about his utopian ‘floating ship’, his ‘naughty’ sketches and his diaries full of memories and memorabilia that adorn the show’s walls.
