Estuary by Vicky Cheng Brings Indulgent and Nourishing French Gastronomy to Galaxy Macau
A Pristine New Expression of Chef Vicky Cheng’s Culinary Excellence Arrives at the Award-Winning Luxury Resort
MACAU SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 May 2026 – Galaxy Macau upholds its status as Asia’s leading dining destination with the debut of Estuary by Vicky Cheng on May 29, 2026, a collaborative masterpiece with the acclaimed chef and one of the region’s most highly regarded culinary talents today, and his first French restaurant. As one of the region’s most highly rated integrated resorts, home to five Michelin stars across four acclaimed establishments, Galaxy Macau continues to shape the gastronomy landscape of the Greater Bay Area with exceptional talent and guest-focused hospitality, infused with Asian warmth and a commitment to excellence.
“Estuary by Vicky Cheng is a vision that has been years in the making, working with intense focus together with Chef Vicky. This restaurant concept represents the pinnacle of Galaxy Macau’s global ambitions—an independent fine dining expression built on patience, purpose and a shared vision for enduring culinary excellence and impeccable guest service,” says Mr Kevin Kelley, Chief Operating Officer, Macau of Galaxy Entertainment Group.
Chef Vicky Cheng is renowned for his mastery in bridging French technique and regional ingredients; this time, he brings a new dimension of refinement to the resort’s exceptional portfolio through modern French gastronomy that is both indulgent and deeply personal, guided by a philosophy that balances nourishment, generosity, and refined finesse.
Widely recognised for his precision, creativity, and cross-cultural fluency, Chef Vicky’s recent accolades further underscore his authority in shaping contemporary fine dining. Recently honoured with the Black Pearl Restaurant Guide Master Chef Award 2026, Chef Vicky’s work continues to gain international acclaim, with Wing ranked No. 2 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026 and his flagship VEA retaining its one Michelin star in the Michelin Guide Hong Kong & Macau.
Nature’s Finest Ingredients Meet Masterful Craftsmanship
Estuary by Vicky Cheng is a French restaurant that draws inspiration from the natural meeting point of river and sea—a fecund place of transformation and renewal. With a seafood-forward menu featuring ingredients of both fresh and saltwater, Estuary reflects the harmony and transformation in these converging worlds.
At Estuary, savoury consommés and delicate jellies act as nourishing through-lines, while fermentation, wood-fired cooking, and essential oils extraction build depth and clarity. The gastronomic experience is precise and pristine, leaving guests feeling sated.
Accentuating Chef Vicky’s decades of culinary exploration and experimentation, Estuary encapsulates the chef’s highly awarded craftsmanship, with each dish meticulously prepared. There’s a respect for dedicated craft, both on and off the plate; the creative process considers every detail, from artisanal tableware and cutlery to a commitment to sourcing rare local ingredients, such as sweet and sour honey from Yuen Long’s stingless bees.
“Estuary by Vicky Cheng is a full-circle moment for me,” says Vicky Cheng. “I was trained in classic French cooking, which shaped my culinary foundations. When I returned to Hong Kong ten years ago, I began exploring the intersection of Chinese and French cuisine; and five years ago, opened my own Chinese restaurant. Estuary brings these experiences together. It is a reflection of my roots, my evolution, and a reverential understanding of flavour, culture, and craft.”
A Contemporary Expression of Tradition and Culinary Mastery
The experience at Estuary by Vicky Cheng unfolds as a culinary journey with a sense of ceremony, drawing inspiration from Parisian grands hôtels. From artisanal bread and butter service to refined guéridon tableside presentations, the experience is anchored in a choreography of classic rituals. Guests are invited to begin with an aperitif from a traditional champagne trolley, followed by dessert, coffee, and tisanes presented in sequence, alongside candlelit wine decanting service. This is complemented by a nuanced wine list that celebrates Old World vintages from France as well as select New World wines. The oldest heritage vintages include the 1928 Château Cos d’Estournel from Bordeaux and the 1981 Krug Collection. A non-alcoholic pairing is also available for a palate cleansing option upon request.
The debut seasonal six-course tasting menu is anchored by Chef Vicky’s signature style: intentional, precise, and quality ingredient-driven, while revealing unexpected layers of flavour and texture.
The luxurious first course of Dauricus caviar (only available at Cheng’s restaurant in Macau), spring turnip, sweet peas and chervil is served with a tableside pour of lacto-fermented turnip sauce transformed into liquid, brightened with lime, and cream; creating a rich play of salinity and acidity. White asparagus follows, slow-poached and crowned with Hokkaido sea urchin and delicate sea urchin ice cream, finished with a champagne-and-24-month Bellota ham sauce and chive oil for savoury depth and oceanic umami. Blue lobster poached in lobster butter arrives with a fermented pineapple brunoise and a trio of zucchini textures, lifted by a shellfish consommé giving sweet, tangy notes. A signature dish on the menu is the charcoal-grilled fish maw glazed with black garlic, at once crispy yet tender, served tableside on a bed of cordyceps mushrooms and gingko nuts, with a sand-ginger-infused beurre blanc sauce; giving it smoky, collagen-rich intensity.
Every dish is perfectly balanced and layered; subtle notes of fermented ingredients run through the menu, along with savoury, rich broths and the nuanced flavours of char-grilled and wood-fired cooking.
Ambience Rooted in Nature and Artistry
Designed by J Candice Interior Architects, a long-time interior collaborator of Chef Vicky Cheng, Estuary by Vicky Cheng’s interiors unfold as an immersive spatial journey that mirrors the restaurant’s themes of tidal transformation and the fluidity of nature. Greeted by artist Martin Gallo’s suspended Splash sculpture of tumbled glass, guests enter through a towering 5.7-metre-high carved ash-wood door, progressing through a sandstone portal, before arriving at the reception desk where a stone fireplace casts a warm welcome—a symbolic representation of Chef Vicky’s spark of passion leading to a prolific career in the kitchen.
The space opens onto a warm, Art Nouveau-inspired dining room defined by organic lines, branch-like forms, and a canopy that evokes a sense of connection and flow. Opening into an airy ambience created by a spectacular domed ceiling, the space draws guests’ attention to the polished Molteni 1923 open kitchen that anchors the main dining room. Its design cadence and flow visually lead to the centre stage of the dining room, where the kitchen is reminiscent of a perfectly timed orchestra, and where the kitchen team set about their craft in synchronised rhythm.
Interior details such as an occasional table and embossed wall panels reinforce the restaurant’s respect for time, technique, and evolution. With a visible tree ringed patina, the centre-piece occasional table bridges past and future, paying homage to nature – the sun, the sky, the soil and the ocean – as well as to the rotation of the seasons; which in turn inspires the menu. Sculptural lighting by Lasvit adds a final organic touch to the private room, casting waterlike reflections from the gilded tumbled glass, completing the sensory landscape.
Estuary by Vicky Cheng is one of the most anticipated openings in the Greater Bay Area, further strengthening Galaxy Macau’s recognised position as the region’s preeminent destination for outstanding dining. As the latest addition to the resort’s award-winning portfolio, the restaurant offers a fresh expression of modern French cuisine, shaped by Chef Vicky Cheng’s distinctive perspective and artistry; backed by industry-defining accolades that affirm his standing at the forefront of Asia’s culinary landscape. All served with the highest standards of Asian hospitality.
Adds Kelley: “Estuary by Vicky Cheng embodies the best of what Galaxy Resort stands for today: our relentless dedication to refined, guest‑focused dining that looks forward, honouring Macau’s UNESCO culinary heritage as a Creative City of Gastronomy, while shaping what personalised fine dining in Asia can truly become.”

A Defining Milestone for Gene Solutions: SPOT-MAS Multi-Cancer Screening Test Receives U.S. FDA Breakthrough Device Designation
The proposed indications for use describe SPOT-MAS 10 as a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test performed on plasma derived from a single direct-draw venous whole blood specimen. The test analyzes circulating cell-free DNA methylation and fragmentomic signatures using a machine-learning-based algorithm to detect a cancer-associated signal. It is intended for use as an adjunctive screening test in asymptomatic adults aged 40 years and older to assist in detecting cancers within the scope of the assay. These include five common cancers — breast, lung, liver, colorectal and gastric cancers — and five aggressive, less common cancers that currently lack standard screening methods — ovarian, pancreatic, esophageal, endometrial and head & neck cancers.
SPOT-MAS has been developed through years of rigorous scientific research and clinical development. In March 2025, SPOT-MAS became the first multi-cancer screening blood test in Asia to complete a large prospective cohort validation, with the K-DETEK study evaluating more than 9,000 asymptomatic participants and demonstrating strong performance, including high specificity and the ability to identify cancer-associated signals across multiple cancer types.
Since then, SPOT-MAS has been used in more than 100,000 individuals in real-world practice, with consistent performance observed beyond controlled study settings. Real-world data were presented at ESMO Asia 2025 and were featured at ASCO Breakthrough 2026 in Singapore.
The platform is built on a multi-omic approach— integrating genetics, epigenetics, and fragmentomics — together with AI-driven analysis, large-scale prospective validation, growing real-world evidence and focus on cancer types with high clinical relevance in the regions where the test is deployed.
For the United States, Breakthrough Device Designation provides Gene Solutions with a prioritized channel of engagement with the FDA as the company advances its U.S. development and validation plans.
Looking ahead, Gene Solutions will continue to collaborate with academic, clinical, laboratory, commercial and strategic partners to support responsible adoption of SPOT-MAS in accordance with local regulations, clinical guidelines and best practices.
Important Regulatory Notice: SPOT-MAS 10 has received U.S. FDA Breakthrough Device Designation. Breakthrough Device Designation is not FDA approval, clearance or marketing authorization. The device remains subject to applicable FDA regulatory review requirements, and the designation does not guarantee future FDA approval, clearance or authorization.

St Francis Methodist School International Shares 2023–2024 WACE Outcomes and Student Journeys
Overview of the WACE Curriculum at SFMS
SFMS International is among a small number of institutions in Singapore offering the WACE curriculum and has delivered this programme for over 23 years. The WACE is a recognised senior secondary qualification awarded by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Western Australia. It prepares students for university admission both locally and internationally.
SFMS is also currently the only school in Singapore offering a Senior High Preparatory Pathway (WACE) for students in Years 9–10. This introduces students to the structure and expectations of the curriculum earlier, building familiarity with subject content and assessment formats before progressing to the senior years. Additionally, subject selection in Years 11A and 12A is structured to meet university entry requirements and reflect students’ academic interests.
Academic Outcomes and University Placements
In 2023, 8 out of 12 WACE graduates from SFMS International achieved ATAR scores above 90, meeting the eligibility criteria for universities such as the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU). The cohort’s top scorer, Wang Dawei, recorded an ATAR of 96.15 and enrolled at NTU to study Business and International Trading. In addition to local placements, graduates were admitted to international universities such as the University of Melbourne and Fudan University in China.
In 2024, 2 out of 8 graduates also attained ATAR scores above 90. The highest scorer, Youn Chae-Won, achieved an ATAR of 95.3. Her university placement is currently pending.
Student Journeys and Holistic Development
Students in the WACE programme at SFMS International engage in both academic and co-curricular activities as part of their overall learning experience. Recent graduates have taken part in service learning, subject specialisation, and personal reflection throughout their time in the pre-university programme.
Youn Chae-Won, the 2024 valedictorian, joined SFMS International from Korea in 2021. Over time, she adjusted to a new academic environment and explored subjects such as accounting, which influenced her interest in finance-related pathways. She also took part in various aspects of school life, including a service learning trip to Bintan in 2023, where students supported local sanitation efforts. Her involvement in both academic and co-curricular settings marked a broad engagement with school life during her time at SFMS.
Andrew Zhuang, who enrolled in SFMS International in 2019, pursued subjects such as Business Management, Accounting, and English as an Additional Language (EALD). Beyond academics, he was involved in community fundraising and joined the same Bintan service trip. He also attended weekly chapel sessions and received support from peers and teachers during a period of health-related absence.
These outcomes reflect the ongoing role of the WACE programme at SFMS International in supporting students through both academic pathways and broader educational experiences. Under the leadership of Principal Mr Lee Hak Boon, the school continues to emphasise academic planning, subject selection, and student wellbeing as part of its overall approach to pre-university education.
