Michelin celebration 

Zi Yat Heen, the signature restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel Macao, has received a Michelin star for the fourteenth consecutive year, a distinguished recognition from the Michelin Guide Hong Kong Macau 2023. Charles Cheung, the Executive Chinese Chef of Four Seasons Hotel Macao, who helms Zi Yat Heen, received the one-star Michelin award at the Star Revelation Ceremony.

In celebration of this recognition, Zi Yat Heen launches three new signature dishes. Pan-fried Kagoshima Wagyu A5 beef cubes exude elegance in simplicity. Beautifully marbled beef is precisely cut to be lightly cooked in minimal oil, sealing in moisture. Finally, a Japanese pumpkin gravy sauce adds to all the richness. On the palate, sumptuous cubes radiate heat as flavours burst and melt to create a satisfying and delicious experience. 

Sautéed Star Garoupa fillet with French Haricot Verts and Chinese olive vegetables, pairs the umami taste of the sea with the earthy aroma of French beans. East Star Garoupa is a luxurious ingredient known for its smooth texture. When stir-fried, the outer part of the fish is slightly more cooked than the interior, thrilling the palate with its dynamic and refined structure while showcasing Chef’s incredible cooking skills in handling the wok, oil, and heat application. A unique condiment of Chinese olive vegetables is homemade by Chef Charles to complement the main ingredients.

Zi Yat Heen offers sumptuous appetizers (Honey glazed barbecued pork, 15-year Hua Diao drunken chicken, Sichuan style marinated fresh shrimp with spicy sauce). Juicy and tender, the honey-glazed barbecued pork pleases discerning guests with a hint of sweetness in the mouth. Hua Diao drunken chicken is famous for its aroma characterized by traditional Chinese yellow wine made from fermented rice, the secret element in Chef Charles’ recipe. Sichuan Style marinated fresh shrimp with spicy sauce, plays on umami taste enhanced with a spiciness that opens up the taste buds and surprises with intensity and zest.
