Prestigious Gala Dinner -- A Sensorial Gourmet Journey on November 11

 

With the incredible legacy of both brands, Studio City, Melco Crown Entertainment's Hollywood-inspired, cinematically-themed integrated entertainment resort in Macau, will host Hong Kong and Macau's first-ever Gala Dinner on November 11 in its Grand Ballroom for 700 foodies, guests and VIPs.

The highly-acclaimed Spanish designer will create a visual spectacle exclusively for the event. Famed for designing outfits and costumes for Hollywood celebrities such as Madonna, Beyoncé, Angelina Jolie, and Lady Gaga among others, Albarran will draw from his experiences of creating some of the world's most reputed brand advertising campaigns as well as elaborate costumes for Hollywood movies (such as "Maleficent" - nominated at the Oscars for Best Achievement in Costume Design) to showcase "SENSES".

 

The six esteemed chefs include Alvin Leung from three-star restaurant Bo Innovation in Hong Kong, Hideaki Matsuo from three-star restaurant Kashiwaya in Osaka, Björn Frantzén from two-star restaurant Frantzén in Stockholm, and Shinji Kanesaka from one-star restaurant Sushi Kanesaka in Tokyo. Chefs hailing from Macau will include Guillaume Galliot from two-star restaurant The Tasting Room, Tam Kwok Fung from two-star restaurant Jade Dragon, and capping it all off will be creations by one of the world's best pastry chefs, Pierre Hermé.

 

Complementing these culinary experiences, diners will enjoy an exclusive, highly-rated line-up of the world's most sought-after wines including an iconic champagne -- the much   recognised Rémi Jobard, Meursault 1er Cru, Les Genevrières 2013 (RP 89-91), followed by the Chateau Latour à Pomerol, Pomerol 2006 (RP 94); Chateau Hosanna, Pomerol 2006 (RP 91); Chateau Trotanoy, Pomerol 2006 (RP 95+); Chateau La Fleur-Petrus, Pomerol 2006 (RP 93); and Quinta do Vallado ABF Old Tawny Port 1888.
