When the Scottish Seafood Meets Cantonese Craft: Chef Otto Wong's Pursuit of Freshness at Pearl Dragon

With more than 18,000 kilometers of pristine coastline, Scotland is home to some of the world’s most celebrated seafood. When that northern bounty meets the Cantonese artistry of Chef Otto Wong, Executive Chef of Pearl Dragon at Studio City Macau, it becomes a truly remarkable “Scottish Seafood Banquet.”

Chef Wong notes that the biggest difference between Scottish and Asian seafood lies in the ocean’s temperature: “Because Scottish waters are colder, the seafood grows more slowly. Its flavor is deeper, and its texture is finer.”

A highlight of the menu, the “Steamed Blue Lobster with Egg White and Aged Hua Diao W**e,” sees Chef Wong gently remove the lobster meat, simmer the shells into a rich stock, and lace it with ten-year-aged Hua Diao. Layered over silken milk-infused egg white, the dish achieves a delicate depth, elevating its natural sweetness.

Looking ahead, Chef Wong believes sustainability will be essential to future sourcing. He praises Scotland’s excellence in sustainable fishing and aquaculture, with internationally recognized certifications such as MSC and ASC, nearly 98% of coastal waters classified as high quality, and full traceability from sea to plate.

With an open mind and exquisite technique, Chef Wong lets Scottish seafood to shine anew on Macau’s tables. It is not merely a meeting of flavors, but a testament to Macau as a city of gastronomy—a bridge between China and the world.

This October, Michelin-starred Zi Yat Heen at Four Seasons Hotel Macao sets the stage for a rare four-hands collaboration, as Executive Chinese Chef Anthony Ho joins forces with acclaimed Chef André Chiang and Chengdu-born Chef Sean Li of The Bridge, Chengdu, bringing together the precision of Cantonese cuisine and the bold, layered complexity of Sichuan flavour in one eight-course narrative.

Moët & Chandon multiplies the moments for Ch*****ne.

Ch*****ne should not have to wait for a special occasion, says Moët & Chandon Chef de Cave Benoît Gouez: “It’s about being together and sharing joy, even in the little moments.”

Spring offers the perfect opportunity for Brut Impérial Rosé to find its elegant place around Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Japan’s cherry blossom season.

Gouez created Ice Impérial with enough rich nuance to be transformed by the chill and dilution of ice, a casual new concept that’s playful and delectably customized for summer.

At the table, says Gouez, “Ch*****ne is very suitable with almost any food.” Brut Impérial’s refined balance shows exceptional affinity for vegetables, fresh seafood, and lightly cooked dishes. With the diverse possibilities of Grand Vintage, the Maison suggests fish, meat, or vegetable as a main element, a complement echoing a note from the Ch*****ne’s bouquet, and a touch of vegetal character or umami for a surprising contrast.
