Macao Tourism Board Launches 'Taste of Macao' Campaign in Thailand
The Macao Government Tourism Office has partnered with the Thai restaurant 'EASY! buddy' to promote Macanese culinary culture through a new campaign offering travel prizes.
The Macao Government Tourism Office has launched the 'Taste of Macao' campaign in Thailand, collaborating with the popular Thai stir-fry restaurant 'EASY! buddy' to showcase the region's unique culinary heritage. The initiative aims to introduce Thai diners to 'Cha Chaan Teng' (Cantonese-style café culture) and the 'Wok Hei' cooking technique, which are staples of Macao’s local street food scene.
Chef Buddy (Thomthanat Hathayodom) has developed three contemporary dishes that interpret Macanese cuisine—a 400-year-old fusion of Cantonese and Portuguese influences. By highlighting Macao’s status as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, the campaign seeks to inspire travel to the region. As part of the promotion, customers who participate in the dining experience have the opportunity to win tickets for a trip to Macao.
For travelers and residents, this campaign offers a localized taste of Macao’s food culture without leaving Thailand. It emphasizes the role of gastronomy as a bridge between cultures and travel experiences. While the campaign is currently active, specific details regarding the duration of the promotion and the full list of participating locations remain to be confirmed by the organizers. Those interested in the travel prize draw should check the official campaign guidelines at the restaurant or through Macao tourism channels.
