The Venetian Macao points out in a recent statement that its Cantonese restaurant Pin Yue Xuan offers innovative delicacies and handmade dim sum.
According to the statement, Executive Chef Darren Cheung is originally from Hong Kong and began his culinary career in 2005. The statement noted that prior to joining Pin Yue Xuan, he served as executive chef at several Michelin-starred restaurants in the mainland, Hong Kong and Macau, winning prestigious accolades and recognition.
Cheung said in the statement that “at Pin Yue Xuan we uphold the time-honoured traditions of Cantonese cuisine while adding an innovative touch. Through incorporating the best of Chinese and international culinary cultures we create a fine dining extravaganza for our guests. Cantonese cuisine originated in the Lingnan area – the vast lands in the south of the ‘Five Ranges’, and has been flourishing for more than 2,000 years. It is one of the four major cuisines in China, featuring a wide range of superior ingredients and cooking techniques to bring out the best flavours.”
The statement underlined that Cheung has curated a menu including “Cantonese crispy baby pigeon”, which is made with Shiqi pigeon and 18 spices, “braised streaky pork with preserved cabbage”, “crispy sea cucumber filled with Iberico pork with salted fish” and “marinated chilled fresh abalone with caviar”.
Meanwhile, the statement said that the restaurant offers dim sum specialities such as “golden fish dumpling with grouper and crab roe”, “steamed seafood dumpling with bird’s nest and mantis shrimp”, “deep-fried diced Japanese Wagyu beef puff” and “baked barbecue pork buns with crumble crust”. The statement pointed out that the restaurant also offers an 8- to 10-course tasting menu featuring a selection of premium ingredients such as baby pigeon, caviar, morels, sea cucumber and bird’s nest, all cooked with meticulous care to bring out the true essence of Cantonese cuisine, from 1,888 patacas per person.
