"We are extremely honored to have achieved these significant
firsts," said Ian Michael Coughlan, President of Wynn Macau.
"Michelin has given two stars to Wing Lei and Golden Flower is now
the proud recipient of its first star. We are thrilled that
Executive Chef Peter Chan of Wing Lei and Master Chef Liu Guo Zhu
of Golden Flower are being recognized for their exceptional
culinary talents."
At Wing Lei, Chef Chan is renowned for creating Cantonese dishes
with flair and innovation. He devotes significant time to nurturing
the considerable skills of his passionate and committed team. This
marks the third consecutive year in which Wing Lei has received the
coveted Michelin award.
Master Chef Liu's illustrious career spans more than four decades.
He has prepared his renowned cuisine for dignitaries including Her
Royal Highness the Queen of England, Chinese Leader Deng Xiaoping
and U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Master Chef Liu has
mentored hundreds of young Chinese chefs, teaching them
time-honored recipes for Tan, Lu, and Sichuan cuisines. At Golden
Flower, Master Chef Liu and his seven culinary disciples give
diners a rare chance to experience authentic Tan cuisine, an
exclusive culinary tradition from the Qing Dynasty.
The Michelin Guide Hong Kong & Macau 2012 awarded 69
establishments in Hong Kong and Macau with one Michelin star and
above. Michelin has defined five criteria for awarding stars: the
quality of the ingredients, the flair and skill in preparing them
and combining flavors, the chef's personality as revealed through
the cuisine, value for money and the consistency of culinary
standards. Stars reflect "what's on the plate and only what's on
the plate."
