Galaxy Macau’s dynamic lifestyle hotel Andaz Macau marks its 2nd anniversary by reviving the celebrated “Sino-Luso Gastronomic Bazaar” on September 13 – an epicurean fête blending Portuguese flair and Cantonese verve, curated with local Macanese savoire-faire.
MACAU SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 September 2025 – Macau – In a city famed for its seamless fusion of East and West, where Chinese and Portuguese cultures have harmoniously coexisted for centuries – Andaz Macau, the dynamic lifestyle hotel at Galaxy Macau™ Integrated Resort, is set to fête its second anniversary with the much-anticipated return of the Sino-Luso Gastronomic Bazaar. On September 13, the Andaz Kitchen will be abuzz as culinary teams from Andaz Macau and Galaxy Macau join forces in collaboration with beloved independent vendors, serving up a vibrant mosaic of Macau’s Chinese and Portuguese heritage.
Celebrating Macau’s rich heritage as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, the Bazaar will showcase a journey across Portugal’s diverse regions and China’s culinary heartlands from Trás-O-Montes to the Pearl River Delta. Expect authentic dishes, handpicked wines, and artisanal finds, all designed to delighted both discerning locals and curious visitors.
The event underscores Macau’s ambition to become the “World Centre of Tourism and Leisure” and the Macau SAR Government’s “Tourism + Gastronomy” initiative, while spotlighting the city’s 2025 ambitions as East Asia’s cultural capital. Independent vendors and SME producers take centre stage, reinforcing Macau’s role as a crossroads for commerce and creativity between China and the Portuguese-speaking world.
Executive Chef André Lai leads the charge, presenting signature Portuguese fare: from the northern Portuguese region of Trás-os-Montes and Douro, guests can enjoy Bola de Carne à Transmontana (Smoked Charcuterie and Olive Oil Bread) and Cozido à Portuguesa (Portuguese Meat and Vegetable Stew). The central Portuguese regions of Beiras and Estremadura offer such delicacies as Sopa de Peixe da Nazaré (Seafood Soup), Pataniscas de Bacalhau (Codfish Flat Cakes with Tomato Rice), and Arroz de Cabidela (Chicken Blood Rice). From the southern regions of Alentejo and the Algarve, visitors can enjoy Sopa Alentejana com Bacalhau (Codfish Soup with Garlic, Coriander and Sourdough), Carne de Porco à Alentejana (Braised Pork Collar with Clams and Fried Potatoes), and Toucinho do Céu (Almond Egg Cake). Celebrated dishes representing the islands of Madeira and the Azores include Polvo Guisado dos Açores (Red Wine Stewed Octopus with Garlic Olive Oil) among other regional standouts.
Talented chefs from three of Galaxy Macau’s most beloved restaurants – Bei Shan Lou, Spicy Sichuan, and Pak Loh Chiu Chow Restaurant – will present an exquisite selection of Northeast Chinese and Sichuan, as well as Chiu Chow dishes to interact with their Portuguese counterparts. Visitors will have the opportunity to broaden their culinary horizons while immersing themselves in Macau’s rich and distinctive gastronomic heritage.
Set for September 13, the evening’s centrepiece: a four-hand dinner helmed by Executive Chef Chek Keong Chan of Feng Wei Ju, the nine-consecutive-year 2-Michelin starred Hunan and Sichuan cuisine sanctum at Galaxy Macau’s sibling StarWorld Hotel, joining forces with Chef André Lai. Together, they will craft a four-hand, one-night-only celebratory dinner that journeys from the robust flavours of Northern Portugal, all while infusing Michelin-starred Hunan and Sichuan savoire-faire.
The epicurean line-up extends to a curated showcase of wines from Portugal’s renowned regions, including Douro and Dão, alongside the best of emerging Chinese labels. Portugese cocktails and local bites from stalwarts such as Vo Cheong Grocery, Hop Kei Peanut Candies, Chui Heong Bakery, Kam In Portuguese Butter Cakes and Snacks, Macalhau Portuguese Codfish Restaurant, as well as Pastéis de Chaves Macau, add a vibrant local flavour.
Guests can expect live music, artful ambiance, and a marketplace of artisanal produce – wines, snacks, and specialties flown in direct from Portugal – reinforcing Macau’s role as a cross-continental hub for commerce and culture. The Bazaar serves as both a celebration and a bridge, spotlighting the city’s ambition as the “World Centre of Tourism and Leisure” and a nexus for Sino-Portuguese exchange.

TAT partners with Lalisa ‘LISA’ Manobal, Amazing Thailand Ambassador, to invite Tourists to discover the Multitude of Feelings upon travelling in Thailand, unveiling the New TVC “Feel All The Feelings”
Reinforcing Thailand’s position as a trusted, high-quality destination through emotion-driven storytelling
BANGKOK, THAILAND –
The film sets to entice tourists to experience and discover the multitude of feelings to be gained from travelling in Thailand, including happiness, serenity, excitement, challenge, and warmth, to establish Thailand as a valuable and unforgettable travel destination.
Ms Thapanee Kiatphaibool, Governor of the TAT, revealed, “This year, the TAT remains committed to reinforcing Thailand’s image through the ‘Trusted Thailand’ strategy to warmly welcome tourists, while continuing its push to establish Thailand as a ‘Quality Leisure Destination.’ This is to build confidence among tourists who want to create valuable, unforgettable memories at every step of their journey. Recently, we launched the ‘Feel All The Feelings’ campaign, building widespread communication and awareness across various channels. We are kicking off the year with a new commercial featuring ‘Lalisa LISA Manobal’ as the Amazing Thailand Ambassador, who will showcase Thailand’s tourist attractions and the feelings evoked on each visit. The campaign aims to ‘enhance quality’ while distributing revenue and tourists to new potential areas. TAT cordially invites all Thais to be ‘good hosts’ and share memorable Thai travel experiences.
TVC ‘Feel All The Feelings‘ by TAT portrays unseen attractions and diverse emotions awaiting tourists to discover and experience in Thailand. The story’s inception was inspired by tourists’ desire to seek a range of experiences that fulfil them emotionally and spiritually, helping them ‘Feel Alive’ again. TAT is confident that Thailand can be the answer and add vivid hues to tourists’ lives, as we are a land of diversity, colour, and vitality, ready to offer an exceptional experience for visitors to feel every emotion, from happiness, serenity, excitement, and challenge, to the warmth of smiles and hospitality, the intriguing mystery of new places, and the wonder of unseen locations. We believe that every area and every journey in Thailand will not only create impressive memories but also deliver ‘feelings’ that greatly enrich the travel experience.”
In this ad, Lalisa ‘LISA’ Manobal, in her role as the Amazing Thailand Ambassador, invites everyone to experience the ‘feelings within Thailand’. LISA is often asked, “What does Thailand feel like?” and she reveals the feelings she experiences while resting and recharging in Thailand in the commercial, through every emotion, every feeling, and every rhythm of Thailand’s beauty, which is unlike anywhere else in the world. The production also features renowned stars and actors such as Win – Metawin Opas–iamkajorn, Gulf – Kanawut Traipipattanapong, and Blue – Pongtiwat Tangwancharoen, who join the journey and convey these feelings together.
The TVC showcases beautiful locations nationwide, starting with the captivating beauty of the Lanna Candle Ceremony (Phang Prateep) at Wat Chedi Luang in Chiang Mai province, followed by a spectacular view of the ‘floating pagodas’ in Lampang province. Viewers can marvel at the sea of mist at Phu Langka in Phayao province. The ads also features attractions in other regions to show that, wherever you are, there is always something to discover. Examples include experiencing the beauty of the first light of dawn at Wat Arun in Bangkok, the splendour of the Red Lotus Sea in Udon Thani province, or experiencing the sound of the cascading waters of
Thi Lo Su Waterfall in Tak province.
Furthermore, the “Feel All the Feelings“ campaign aims is to shift tourists from popular landmarks to hidden-gem destinations, increasing the quality of their spending and the value per trip, in line with the “Value over Volume” strategy.
Join “LISA“ on her journey as the Amazing Thailand Ambassador and discover feelings awaiting tourists in Thailand with the “Feel All The Feelings“ campaign. The “Feel All The Feelings“ TVC is currently available at official Amazing Thailand channels:

SCOPE’s Ultra-Luxury Residential Performance Underscores Strong Investor Confidence in Thailand’s Prime Market
Despite global headwinds including escalating trade disputes, rising commodity prices, and shifting monetary policies, Thailand’s prime residential market remains structurally strong. Bangkok, in particular, continues to attract foreign buyers seeking long-term residential assets that combine lifestyle quality with capital stability. Demand in this segment has been driven less by short-term speculation, and more by purchasers prioritizing quality, identity, and long-term livability.
Commenting on the market outlook, Mr. Yongyutt Chaipromprasith, Chief Executive Officer of SCOPE Company Limited, said: “Thailand offers exceptional value when compared with global cities, not only in pricing but also in quality of life, project standards, and long-term livability. Many international investors view Thai ultra-luxury residences as a safe haven asset, supported by competitive rental yields, lower holding costs, and a lifestyle proposition that few markets can replicate.”
Among its flagship developments, SCOPE Langsuan recorded over 90% sales completion within 2025, reflecting strong demand from discerning buyers. The project’s success highlights a clear shift in buyer behavior: ultra-luxury purchasers are increasingly focused on authenticity, design integrity, and long-term residential value rather than speculative gains.
Central to this appeal is SCOPE’s collaboration with internationally acclaimed designer Thomas Juul-Hansen, whose portfolio includes prominent residential development in New York, notably along the iconic “Millionaire’s Row.” By engaging designers of this caliber, SCOPE reinforces its role as a developer of globally competitive, non-replicable residential projects, rather than locally derivative offerings.
This approach further emphasizes the “value for money” proposition of Thailand’s luxury market. Achieving equivalent design pedigree and spatial quality in global financial capitals would require significantly higher development and acquisition costs.
This philosophy guides every stage of development — from spatial planning and material selection to service design and community environments — ensuring that residences are built to support genuine, long-term living.
From curated common spaces designed as well-being hubs, to personalized residential services and collaborations with world-class architects and designers, SCOPE aims to establish new benchmarks for service-driven, timeless luxury in Thailand’s residential market. This evolution reflects a broader industry shift from competing on physical specifications alone to competing on holistic living experiences.
Looking ahead, Thailand’s ultra-luxury real estate market is transitioning from price-based competition toward differentiation driven by design excellence, development standards, service quality, and long-term livability. This shift strengthens the country’s positioning on the global stage and reinforces ultra-luxury residential assets as stable, long-term investments amid ongoing global uncertainty.
