The University of Macau (UM) announced in a statement yesterday that its Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS) recently launched its ‘Communicator 2022 · Macau Flavour’ magazine.
The statement noted that the guests who attended the launch included FSS Dean Richard Hu Weixing, Dean of Students Paul Pang Chap Chong and Communication Department Head Lee Tien Tsung, along with faculty members and students.
The UM statement noted that the magazine is a “graduation work” from the university’s Department of Communication and was produced by the department’s fourth-year students, detailing dishes that are “unique to Macau, based on interviews with more than 30 ‘classic brand’ restaurants in the city”.
The magazine comprises six chapters, which according to its editor-in-chief Emmige Zheng are: “Portugal in the West, Guangdong in the North, Southeast Asia in the South, Past, Now, and Reflection”, the statement pointed out.
The magazine “describes the flavours of dishes that are unique to Macau as well as the stories behind these flavours”. Moreover, the statement underlined that the magazine also explores the relationship between local dishes, as well as “population mobility in the Greater Bay Area [GBA], political turmoil in Southeast Asia, and the history of European colonialism”, with a chapter that also tells of Macau’s “neglected classic-brand restaurants”.
Free copies of the magazine are available at Rooftop, a café in Taipa, the UM library and various on-campus residential colleges, the Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST) library, Macau Institute for Tourism Studies (IFTM) library, Macau Central Library, Sir Robert Ho Tung Library, Patane Library, Ilha Verde Library, and Taipa Library, the statement said.
The statement did not say in which language the magazine is published, nor when exactly it was launched.
