📌The Real Deal 葡韻魅力

🚶🏼At the heart of Avenida da Praia Grande, one of the busiest streets in Macau, you can visit a slice of real Portugal just by stepping through a doorway.

🌟The shop can be identified from metres away by the unmistakable Manteigaria logo and a bell that sounds every few minutes, announcing the arrival of a new batch of steaming hot pastel de nata.

Inside, the aromas of hot butter, cinnamon and coffee mingle in a way that is reminiscent of the typical cafés in the centre of Lisbon, where the pastel de nata is sweet and crispy and always accompanied by a caneleiro and a bica.

🚶🏼在車水馬龍的南灣大馬路上，一扇門後隱藏著純正的葡萄牙風味。

🌟遠遠就能看見「曼撻格利亞Manteigaria」的招牌。每隔幾分鐘響起的清脆鈴聲，宣告著新一爐熱騰騰的葡撻出爐。

店內瀰漫著牛油、肉桂與現煮咖啡交織的香氣，瞬間將人帶到里斯本街頭的傳統咖啡館——那裡總有剛出爐的脆甜葡撻配上葡式caneleiro或bica咖啡。作為澳門的美食符號，葡撻的代表性地位不亞於大三巴牌坊。街頭巷尾隨處可見售賣葡撻的餅家，鬆軟的酥皮包裹著嫩滑如蒸蛋的餡料。

A PASSION FOR QUALITY

Almost two decades since the opening of Don Alfonso restaurant in Macau, Chef Alfonso Iaccarino returns to the region to once more present the best of Mediterranean cuisine.

by Carolina Baltazar

Almost two decades since the opening of Don Alfonso restaurant in Macau, Chef Alfonso Iaccarino returns to the region to once more present the best of Mediterranean cuisine.

In early May, renowned Chef Alfonso Iaccarino visited Macau to present exclusive new menus at his two restaurants, Casa Don Alfonso at Grand Lisboa Hotel and Don Alfonso 1890 at Palazzo Versace at Grand Lisboa Palace in Cotai.

As we talk, the 78-year-old recalls the stories of his colourful life, the rich testimonies typical of someone who grew up in the world of hospitality and discovered from an early age what he describes as his ‘mission’ in life, rather than just a profession.

The three generations that preceded him dedicated themselves to hospitality and spread the Iaccarino surname from their humble origins in Sant’Agata de’ Goti, in the Campania region, to the rest of Italy and, finally, the world.

Alfonso and his wife Livia decided to take a different path and turn their lives into a love letter to the Mediterranean diet with their home restaurant Don Alfonso 1890, planted on the Amalfi coast. The first location was followed by other venues with the same name around the world, in locations as far apart as Canada, Portugal and Macau – still the only representation of the family in Asia.

對於曾在亞洲生活或旅行的人來說，建築地盤上縱橫交錯的竹棚架是再熟悉不過的風景。初見者無不為其精湛工藝、堅固實用以及對天然材料的巧妙使用所折服。在澳門，每逢特定節慶時分，各大廟宇周邊的竹子不僅是竹棚架，更化身為建築主體——那些穩穩屹立的戲棚，可用以舉行粵劇等傳統表演，為廟中供奉的神祇慶賀誕辰。本期我們專訪一位竹棚架搭建大師，探尋這項獨特營造技藝的奧妙，並思考它是將繼續存在，還是終將湮沒於歷史煙雲。

五年前，可謂澳門最著名現場秀的《水舞間》因疫情暫別舞台。但令人欣喜的是，這場視覺盛宴於上個月強勢回歸，不僅保留了經典橋段，更添創新演繹。我們與藝術總監朱利安諾·佩帕里尼暢談重啟這場盛大演出的挑戰與機遇。

在藝術欄目，我們帶你探訪城中新展：澳門巴黎人正舉辦「鏡像・迴路・生成」系列——「既視感」中法藝術交流三人展，法國錄像藝術先驅羅伯特・凱恩（Robert Cahen）與澳門藝術家郭恬熙及蔣靜華的作品於此展開跨時空對話。

詩人兼藝術家徐今今則透過展覽《千百種現場：消聲》探討流徙、語言與身份認同議題，與我們分享她的創作歷程。

適逢澳門文華東方酒店開業十五週年，酒店於大堂及大堂酒廊呈獻特備中國藝術展「觀古照今・筆墨恆長」，展出兩位澳門女性藝術家梁潔雯以及曾貞貞的當代中國繪畫作品。

意大利美食巨匠Alfonso Iaccarino近日訪澳，與我們分享其傳奇生涯與澳門情緣。我們亦專訪「曼撻格利亞Manteigaria」的經理Diogo Vieira，看這間新店如何為澳門帶來最地道的葡式蛋撻。

最後，我們走進望德堂區，參觀澳門香學文化協會會長樓高三層的歷史宅邸，感受老澳門的生活韻味。

盛夏已至，不妨斟杯冰飲，尋處蔭涼，隨本期《澳門特寫》細味小城故事。祝你閱讀愉快！

Editor's Note

For anyone who has lived in or travelled around Asia, the sight of masses of intertwined bamboo scaffolding on construction sites is a very familiar one. Anyone seeing it for the first time is always impressed by the ingenuity of the workmanship and the strength and practicality of this product of nature. At special times of the year around many of the temples in Macau, bamboo is not simply scaffolding, but it is the structure of the building itself, primarily in the form of impressive theatres that host traditional Cantonese operas and other performances to celebrate the birthdays of locally worshipped deities.

In this issue, we meet up with a master craftsman of this tradition and learn more about this unique building method, and also consider whether it will manage to continue or one day disappear into the fog of history.

Five years ago, arguably the most famous live show in Macau, House of Dancing Water at City of Dreams, was forced into temporary closure due to the pandemic. Happily though, last month the show returned with many of its most popular acts, together with a host of new and innovative performances. This issue we speak with Artistic Director Giuliano Peparini about the challenges and opportunities he faced when bringing the show back to life.

In the world of Art we check out some fantastic new exhibitions around town including Mirroring•Looping•Generating - Déjà Vu A Sino-French Art Exchange at the Parisian Macao bringing together the work of pioneering French video artist Robert Cahen, with that of Macau artists Alice Kok and Catherine Cheong.

We also speak with artist and poet JinJin Xu as she introduces her groundbreaking exhibition What Would You Say If You Could? reflecting on displacement, language and identity.

This year Mandarin Oriental Macau is celebrating its 15th anniversary, and to commemorate the occasion the property is featuring the artwork of two talented local artists Leong Kit Man and Tsang Tseng Tseng with the exhibition Modern Vision, Timeless Technique, on display in the hotel lobby.

An icon of the world of Italian fine dining, Chef Alfonso Iaccarino visited Macau recently and spoke with us about his remarkable career and his strong ties with the city. We also meet up with Diogo Vieira, manager of recently opened Manteigaria, who is introducing visitors and locals to the truly authentic flavours of Portuguese pastel de nata.

Last but not least, we visit the lovely heritage home of Harry Chan located in St. Lazarus district. Chairman of the Macao Incense Culture Association, Harry shows us around his delightful three-story residence.

Summer is here, so grab a cold drink, find a cool place to relax and enjoy learning more about the city and its people with this issue of CLOSER. Happy Reading!
