MGM Macau pastry chef at La Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie

MGM Macau’s pastry chef Micky Ma has been selected to represent the China National Team at the finale of La Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie 2015, as top chefs from around the world compete for the World Pastry Champion title. This competition is widely renowned as the Olympics of the culinary world. Chef Ma will collaborate with two other expert chefs from China to compete for national glory in this culinary event. Each team must finish a total of six creations in nine hours, and Chef Ma will be responsible for producing an ‘artistic creation made of chocolate’, ‘frozen dessert’ and ‘plate dessert’. “I’m lucky that MGM Macau puts an emphasis on arts-related programmes, be they culinary, visual or architectural. A lot of my inspiration for the three competing creations are drawn from my experience being a part of our hotel, and being involved in a host of top-notch happenings, where innovative confectionery designs and experimental flavours are often a must,” Chef Ma, who has been with MGM for three years, said.
