Sands Resorts Macao has launched an advertising campaign entitled “Sands Golden Chefs” to promote the range and quality of dining available across its restaurants.

The short film, which parodies classic kung fu movies such as “18 Bronzemen” and “God of Cookery,” is a light-hearted take that showcases The Venetian Macao, The Parisian Macao, Sands Cotai Central and Sands Macao as must-visit culinary destinations.

Produced by creative agency Saatchi & Saatchi Shanghai, “Sands Golden Chefs” shows the journey of 12 renowned Sands Resorts Macao chefs to “The Golden Chef Academy,” where they endure arduous training and endurance tests before attaining “Golden Chef” status, the gaming operator noted in a statement.

Artfully drawing comparisons between the skills required for both martial arts and the culinary arts, the short film utilises cinematic effects to show how Sands Resorts Macao chefs combine multiple disciplines to achieve their power over food.

Twelve shorter versions focusing on each individual chef will also be released.
