Asia’s best street food stalls are coming together under one roof for the second annual MICHELIN Guide Street Food Festival Macau (organised by Michelin and Robert Parker Wine Advocate, with full support from Official Title Partner Melco Resorts and Entertainment). From Saturday, 29 September – Tuesday, 2 October, the world’s biggest Asian street food festival with Michelin-acclaimed food stalls and eateries will be serving their famed signature creations on site. Entry to the festival is free of charge for all guests, with access to a world-class selection of dishes priced between MOP40-MOP60 and redeemed via cash coupons.
Taking place at Studio City’s Macau Gourmet Walk, the festival will once again feature some of the biggest names in street food, as well as one of the only Michelin-starred hawker stalls in the world. One such eatery is Liao Fan Hawker Chan Soya Sauce Chicken Rice from Singapore led by Chef Chan Hon Meng, the first in the world to earn a coveted Michelin star for street food. His iconic Soya Chicken dish is raved throughout the world as the most affordable Michelin-star meal, and will once again be available in Macau this year.
The Song of India, also from Singapore, has upheld its one Michelin star and will be coming to Macau for the second year in a row with Chef Manjunath Mural at the helm.
From Taipei’s Nanjichang Night Market, A Nan Sesame Chicken specializes in a Sesame Oil Chicken Noodle Soup developed over 13 years that made it a deserved recipient of the MICHELIN Guide Bib Gourmand award.
From Bangkok, Thailand, Huen Lamphun (Suan Phak) is a local eatery serving prized versions of dishes from its regional cuisine, and will be serving its famous northern Thai Khao Soi Kai at the festival.
