Calling all foodies!

What could be better than a street food festival?
A street food festival presented by The Michelin Guide, that’s what! The famous restaurant rating organisation is planning to debut a Street Food Festival in Macau’s Studio City entertainment resort this October and we should all save the dates. The event will host chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants, celebrated Bib Gourmand, and Michelin-recommended eateries across Asia serving their street food creations and signature delights.
Food festivals are an incredible opportunity to try delicacies from a wide variety of restaurants and chefs, but a food festival hosted by Michelin and the Robert Parker Wine Advocate should not disappoint. The four-day event is scheduled from October 5-8 and will feature a star-studded line-up of eateries from Singapore to Japan including the world’s first-ever street food stall to have been awarded a Michelin star, Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle from Singapore.
“Asia is recognised as having the world’s best street food and we are thrilled to invite some of our most talented chefs and their teams to cook together in Macau for the very first time, . . . foodies, families and friends can discover their favourite street eats, soak up the buzzing festival atmosphere and savour flavours old and new. The Michelin Guide Street Food Festival in Macau will truly be a unique dining experience for all food lovers to mark in their calendars.” said Patrick Sauze, spokesperson for Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.
I recognise the strong move of Studio City to host this event that will be sure to draw large crowds of both tourists and locals to their casino. We have so many incredible restaurants in our city that it is difficult to visit them all as a local, not to mention a tourist. The ability to visit many eateries at once is a foodie dream. The Macau Food Festival – held in November – is another great foodie option hosted by the Macao Government Tourism Office. This festival features cuisine from many different countries and regions including Taiwan, Penang, Malaysia, Henan, Japan, South Korea and China’s Mainland provinces and municipalities and ethnic minorities along with local favourites here in Macau plus games and entertainment.
As the famous saying goes: ‘The best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach’ – but I’m willing to wager that these festivals will find a place in the hearts of women as well as men when they debut this Autumn!
