And guests will have the opportunity to enjoy this incomparable whisky in a variety of ways at Galaxy Macau restaurants this autumn.

Also happening at Galaxy Macau this autumn is another event true foodies won't want to miss: the Putien Food Festival. Held at Putien from now to October 31, this culinary celebration is based on Singapore One Michelin Star restaurant's philosophy of "Fresh Ingredients, Original Taste", and spotlights one prime seasonal ingredient so that guests can enjoy it at its freshest, and in different ways. And for autumn, the star of the season is fresh eel from Shunde, the most renowned location for eels in China.
For a delectable combination of meat and fat, Putien uses only eels weighing between 600g and 800g and measuring approximately 70cm in length, which are transported live to the restaurant. These eels are fed on codfish powder, providing a satisfying bite with thicker flesh, and offering a delightful bouncy texture.
Signature dishes not to miss include: Fresh Eel Cooked in Spring Water, which preserves the natural flavors; Baked Eel with Puning Bean Sauce, which adds a rich, savory flavor to the soft and mellow eel; Spicy Pan-fried Eel, which is cooked over a high-heat fire with chili to deliver spicy, savory, fresh and fragrant sensations; Eel in Fujian Fermented Red Rice Wine, a famous Fujian dish that is perfect with aged wine; and Steamed Eel with Lees and Ham, a Macau-exclusive dish in which the lees and ham contribute to a unique depth of flavor.
