mgm’s aux beaux arts tempts with white truffle menu

For the season of white truffles, Chef de Cuisine Elie Khalife and his team at MGM Macau’s Aux Beaux Arts, have crafted a luxurious menu featuring classic dishes highlighting the precious ingredient, available between November 6 and November 30.
Crowned as the “White Diamonds” of the culinary world, white truffles are highly treasured for their intense musky, earthy aroma. They are harvested in the densest parts of the forests in Alba, Italy, and are harvested only one season each year, making them a rare ingredient.
At Aux Beaux Arts, epicureans can choose from an a la carte menu, in which all dishes are specially prepared with two grams of freshly shaved Alba white truffles. Additional white truffles can be shaved tableside onto all dishes included on the menu.
