8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA at Galaxy Macau Welcomes New Executive Chef Marino D’Antonio for a Master Collaborative Dinner at Showcasing the Vibrant Culinary Cultures of Italy with Umberto Bombana

Celebrating Chef Marino’s return to the Bombana family, Maestro Umberto Bombana will make a special appearance at Galaxy Macau to collaborate with Marino for a dinner event on February 26 and 27, inviting guests on a luxurious culinary journey.
Chef Marino, coming from a family of cooks, embarked on his culinary adventure in China in 2006 and quickly established himself in the culinary scene. In 2013, he partnered with Chef Bombana to open Opera BOMBANA, which rapidly became the hottest Italian restaurant in Beijing. Their partnership has flourished over the years, fueled by a shared passion for gastronomy. Over the past two decades, Chef Marino has opened many successful restaurants across China and authored two culinary books to share his knowledge of Italian cuisine.

The essence of Italian coastal cuisine lies in its high-quality ingredients, a pursuit central to Chef Bombana’s philosophy of “Quality, Tradition, and Consistency.” The menu for the dinner on February 26 and 27 features an exquisite selection of seasonal ingredients: majestic King crab from the pristine, icy waters off Hokkaido; the fragrant Périgord black truffle, which elevates comforting tagliolini with a luxurious touch; and the luscious Mayura beef, expertly paired with earthy morels.
Honored with “Wine List of the Year” by Gambero Rosso—the world’s authority on Italian food, wine, and travel—the restaurant’s wine pairings for the evening are exceptional, elevating the dining experience to new heights.

Refreshed Menu and New Lunch Offerings Present the Finest Italian Flavors
Chef Marino has big ambitions for 8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA and looks forward to introducing his own signature dishes to diners in Macau. One signature dish on the menu is the Veal and Ham Agnolotti in Classic Broth, which represents one of Chef Marino’s earliest food memories as a child. “This is a memory that I carry dearly with me,” he says. “When my mother used to prepare this small ravioli for the family during the winter festivity, there was always a lot of excitement to prepare the broth with just the right amount of Capon chicken veal neck and the spices were always carefully handled by my grandmother. The dough for the Agnolotti skin also needed to be very precise and thin. I can still remember the aromas in the air and the happiness of the family reunion. This always gives me good memories and that is the reason why I love this dish.”
He will also present his Marinated Langoustine with sea urchin, Oscietra caviar, and Orange Chantilly, which he describes as a “must-try” at 8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA. Inspired by Chef Bombana’s love for high-quality ingredients, this dish exemplifies Italian coastal cuisine and the cooking style very much adheres with the culinary traditions of Italy’s Liguria region. The scampi, sea urchin and citrus together orchestrate an explosion of flavors, with Oscietra caviar elevating the dish even further. The new menu will also draw inspiration from 8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA in Hong Kong, allowing guests at Galaxy Macau to savor beloved classic dishes.

Additionally, the restaurant will introduce a new lunch menu starting in March, available every Friday and Saturday, with dishes starting from MOP 680, featuring Michelin-quality cuisine. This menu showcases exquisite Italian classics paired with fresh seasonal ingredients to ensure a high-quality culinary experience in a short timeframe. Guests will have the opportunity to savor the restaurant’s signature dishes and may also choose to enhance their meal with freshly shaved truffles, adding a rich aroma to elevate their dining experience.
Marino’s culinary creations embody rich Italian traditions while showcasing his unique interpretation, delighting diners with a warm and inviting approach. “Respect is fundamental. It is important to respect your team, your guests, and the ingredients,” Chef Marino says. “Our goal is to source the highest quality ingredients, and the closer we can find them, the better. Our planet is one, and we need to keep it for the next generation. Respect for ingredients is vital in our Italian culinary culture. ‘It’s about Tradition, Quality, and Consistency’, as Chef Bombana says. His words have truly stuck with me, and these are the principles I strive to uphold.”
A New Height of Italian Culinary Experience with Starred Chefs
At Galaxy Macau, every meal is a sensory delight. 8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA’s décor harmoniously blends modern and classic styles, creating an elegant and inviting atmosphere. Guests can indulge in not only exquisite cuisine but also the cultural essence of Italy, experiencing a dining environment that beautifully interprets contemporary artistic elegance. With outstanding service, diners are treated to a feast for both the eyes and the palate, as well as an experience of the essence and soul of Italian gastronomy.

Sansiri’s ‘PTY Residence Sai 1’ Sells Out Foreign Quota In 3 Hrs ‘Global Online Booking’ Hit Record Sales In Pattaya
Thailand’s Most Trusted Developer Capitalizes On Surging Pattaya And Tourist Destination Demand
PATTAYA, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 March 2025 – Sansiri Public Company Limited, Thailand’s leading developer with a 40-year track record widely regarded as Thailand’s most trusted fully integrated real estate developer among both Thai and international clients, announces surpassing all records with the successful real-time global online booking launch of ‘PTY Residence Sai1’, a much-anticipated luxury beachfront condominium in central Pattaya, project value at 3.2 billion baht. This luxury flagship project, offering rare freehold units, quickly sold out its foreign quotas within 3 hours, generating over 1.85 billion baht and marking the most successful presales with foreign agents. The popularity of the project launch and intense booking demand, unmatched in a decade, leveraged high rental yield returns of up to 8% in a strategic prime location, underscored by Sansiri’s reputation for trust and superior quality and commitment to exceptional after-sales service.
Uthai Uthaisangsuk, President of Sansiri Public Company Limited, disclosed that “PTY Residence Sai 1 is considered one of Sansiri’s masterpieces of the past decade. Located on Pattaya Beach Road 1 (Central Pattaya), the project represents a rare item on the last available freehold plot along prestigious Pattaya Sai1 which is only a step away from the beach. Pattaya draws parallels with the global destination in terms one of the country’s top travel destinations after Bangkok, and thanks to the remarkable transformation and regeneration each coastal city has achieved over the past decades into world-class tourism hubs celebrated for fine dining, unparalleled nightlife, and international scale events.”

A Rare Opportunity on Pattaya’s Beachfront
“The city’s growth trend is set to continue with significant upcoming infrastructure developments In 2024, tourist arrivals growing nearly 60% compared to pre-COVID levels. Hotels in Pattaya maintained high occupancy rates of 85-90% over the past year, reflecting the increasing demand for residential properties and vacation homes, especially beachfront condominiums or those with beach views.
These factors have driven our unprecedented success, leading to the complete sold-out of our foreign quotas within 3 hours and generating over 1.85 billion Baht in sales, a record-breaking achievement in the last decade of our developments. The exceptional high demands came particularly from Chinese and Russian investors, who secured units of our ‘Real-time Global Booking Launch.’ Sansiri proudly stands as the first developer in Thailand to implement Global Online Booking functionality, enabling customers and agents worldwide to reserve units instantly with a single click.” Mr. Uthai added.
This success can be attributed to foreign customers’ strong confidence in three essential factors: Sansiri’s trusted 40-year legacy, the premium quality of our developments, and reputation for exceptional after-sales service that delivers high investment returns. This continues our track record of completely sold-out resort-style condominium projects over the past decade. We anticipate equal enthusiasm from Thai customers, expecting an immediate sell-out of the Thai quota during our exclusive pre-sales event on this 29-30 March at the Hilton Pattaya Hotel.

Ramadan 2024: Octa broker’s diverse charity agenda

Each year, the month of Ramadan comes forth as a unifying force for Muslims all over the world. Since the Ramadan state of mind is characterised by deep reflection and a sense of connection, Octa aimed its latest Ramadan charity initiatives at fostering education and building strong social bonds. Below are Ramadan-related charity projects implemented by Octa broker in 2024.
Indonesia
In the wake of the holy month of Ramadan in 2024, Octa funded the renovation of SD NEGERI DEPOK, a school in Depok City, West Java, Indonesia. On 27 April, Octa representatives and local officials held the opening of the renovated school and presented gifts to the children. The main stakeholders expressed satisfaction with the project’s outcome and offered their best wishes to the local students.
The project aimed to improve and expand the local educational infrastructure to address the increasing number of students in the region. Another key objective was to provide moral encouragement to students and motivate them to be proactive in pursuing knowledge and studying science.
Malaysia
To celebrate Ramadan in Malaysia, Octa sponsored STATUS 200, a coding bootcamp for students of Ideas International, an inclusive secondary school located in Kuala Lumpur.
STATUS 200 was held in three stages, from July to November 2024. Octa fully funded the project, allocating some slots to students supported by UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency). To promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, Octa also granted 50% of the slots within the programme to female students.
Twelve students achieved Stage 2 certification and enrolled in Stage 3, finishing it with impressive results. The graduates successfully completed their final assignments—each had to develop a fully functional webshop from scratch. Based on these individual projects, the graduates’ skill levels met the requirements for a junior web developer position.
With STATUS 200, Octa made another step towards its long-term social mission: to bring lasting positive change to local communities through small steps—incremental, targeted, and timely initiatives.
Nigeria
In 2024, Octa carried out three charity projects in Nigeria around the holy month of Ramadan:
- Providing 300 children with educational supplies: due to a harsh economic crisis, many parents in economically challenged areas of the country cannot afford the basic school fees for their children and educational materials. Octa joined forces with a local charity, KIR Foundation, to provide students with much-needed supplies, including writing materials, dictionaries, and school bags, promoting accessible education and driving social development.
- Training 25 youths in tech skills: Octa and KIP organised training courses to empower unemployed or underemployed youth with tech skills, including data science, cybersecurity, and graphic design.
- Establishing yet another reading corner: reading corners are mini libraries set up in less-developed city areas or public primary schools. They enable children to improve their literacy skills and develop a lifelong love for reading. In 2024, Octa and KIR have set up 24 reading corners throughout 14 states, reaching 9,209 children and donating 3,763 books.
In 2024, Octa’s Ramadan-related charity initiatives contributed to long-lasting positive change in local communities, enhancing the career potential of local students of various age groups. In 2025, the global broker will keep up with the good tradition and carry out new dedicated charity projects to celebrate Ramadan. Stay tuned!
