Sands Macao marked its 21st anniversary on Sunday, during which it continued its annual tradition of giving complimentary boxed lunches to Macau’s taxi drivers dropping off passengers at the property in Nape.
According to a Sands Macao statement released that day, it has been a tradition since the property opened in 2004.
The statement noted that Sands Macao Vice President and General Manager Danny Tang (鄧濠傑) and staff distributed meal packs that featured Himematsutake* mushrooms, conch, fish maw and pork bone soup; soy sauce chicken with minced ginger; wok-fried shrimp and scallops with yellow fungus, honey bean and lotus root; seasonal vegetables; steamed rice; Chinese birthday bun; and fruit.
The statement quoted Tang as saying: “On the occasion of the 21st anniversary of the opening of Sands Macao, we continue our long-standing tradition of delivering meal packs to local taxi drivers to express gratitude to those who travel through Macau’s streets and alleys every day and connect every corner of the city. Sands Macao has been with the city for more than one-fifth of a century. We will continue providing exceptional service and diversified leisure experiences for residents and tourists, contributing the sustainable development of the city.”
