MACAO, Aug. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The St. Regis Macao is delighted to announce the reimagining of its signature dining venue, The Manor, with a vibrant new Mediterranean concept on August 1st. This culinary transformation brings a diverse and refined new menu to Macao's dynamic dining scene helmed by Executive Sous Chef, Michele Dell'Aquila, seamlessly blending the St. Regis legacy of timeless elegance with the bright flavors and convivial culture of the Mediterranean coast. The new concept celebrates the natural affinity between Mediterranean cuisine and Macao's own multicultural gastronomic heritage. Both are shaped by centuries of cultural exchange and global influence, resulting in a shared culinary philosophy that honors tradition, embraces diversity, and celebrates honest ingredients. At The Manor, this dialogue across cultures and continents is brought to life through a meticulously curated menu. Drawing inspiration from the culinary traditions of Spain, Italy, Greece, and the South of France, Chef Michele focuses on premium ingredients and authentic techniques to deliver a full-spectrum Mediterranean dining experience—from vibrant appetizers to hearty mains and elegant desserts. Signature Dishes Include: Greek Style Grilled Octopus: A delicate Mediterranean preparation featuring tender grilled octopus served with roasted potatoes, Pequinillo peppers, Kalamata olives, and oregano – a tribute to the balanced, sun-kissed flavors of Greece and Spain. Piri-Piri Prawn: Inspired by the maritime spice routes of the Portuguese Age of Discovery, this dish blends prawns with garlic, herbs, lemon, and a bold piri-piri chili sauce. Grilled Spring Chicken: Marinated with rosemary, the chicken is roasted to perfection and served with green salad and heirloom carrots – a harmony of herbaceous brightness and wood-fired depth. Seafood Risotto: A luxurious saffron-and-tomato-based risotto enriched with prawns, squid, and mussels, offering a layered, savory Mediterranean flavor profile. The culinary journey continues beyond the plate with a curated selection of Mediterranean-inspired cocktails, designed to evoke the romance and vitality of the region: Violet Horizon: A visually striking cocktail blending butterfly pea flower, violet liqueur, and Bombay gin, dusted with edible gold for a sunset-glow finish. Marseille Mistral: A bold, aromatic mix of seaweed-infused whisky, Amaro, citrus, chili, and lemongrass syrup – reminiscent of a stroll through a Provençal spice market. Executive Sous Chef Michele Dell'Aquila shared, "With the introduction of the new concept, we hope to bring the warmth, heritage, and human connection of the Mediterranean straight to every guest's table here in Macao."

Leading Macao democrat arrested for alleged violation of national security law
A former pro-democracy lawmaker in Macao has been arrested on suspicion of colluding with foreign forces. Local media say it is the first publicly known arrest in Macao under the national security law aimed at cracking down on anti-government activities. Police and media outlets in Macao say the suspect is 68-year-old Au Kam San. Au had served as a member of the territory's legislative assembly for 20 years and organized memorial events for victims of the Tiananmen Square incident. Au is known as a leading advocate for freedom and democracy. Police issued a statement on Thursday, saying that the suspect has colluded with foreign forces to incite hatred against Beijing and undermined national security. Macao is set to hold legislative elections in September. Pro-democracy candidates were barred from running in the elections four years ago. Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed a hardline stance aimed at containing pro-democracy moves in Macao when he spoke at a ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of its return to China in December last year. He stressed that Chinese people should implement the overall jurisdiction of the central government and should not deviate from this commitment under any circumstance.

Macao police arrest former pro-democracy lawmaker for colluding with foreign forces
Police in Macao detained a man believed to be a prominent pro-democracy advocate on suspicion of colluding with outside forces in breach of the national security law. Local media outlets reported former pro-democracy lawmaker Au Kam San was the suspect. A police statement Thursday said the 68-year-old Macao resident with the surname Au allegedly colluded with an anti-China group outside of the city and provided false and seditious materials for public display online or abroad. The man, whose full name was not disclosed in the statement, also was accused of maintaining long-term contact with multiple anti-China entities outside of Macao and repeatedly providing unfounded information to them or their media outlets for dissemination. 'This was intended to incite hatred against China's central government and Macao's government among Macao residents and even people from other countries who may not understand the truth," police said. The authorities added that the acts aimed to undermine Macao's 2024 chief executive election and trigger hostile actions by foreign countries against Macao. Au was taken from his home Wednesday afternoon for investigation, they said. Local media outlets in Hong Kong and Macao reported the man was Au. Online outlet All About Macao said it was the first publicly known arrest under the national security law after the legislation was enacted in 2009 and revised in 2023. Au's wife arrived at the prosecution's office on Thursday and was listed as a 'witness," the outlet added. The Associated Press could not reach Au by phone Thursday afternoon. Au served as a pro-democracy lawmaker in Macao's legislature dominated by Beijing loyalists before stepping down in 2021. He remained a rare voice in the city who still regularly criticized government measures and political development on Facebook and in media interviews. Since the former Portuguese colony returned to Chinese rule in 1999, Macao has grown from a monopoly-driven gambling enclave into the world's biggest gaming hub. Under Beijing's grip, its pro-democracy camp was never as influential as the one in neighboring city Hong Kong, which is a former British colony that returned to China in 1997. Its government also faced far less massive protests challenging its rule when compared to Hong Kong. More intrusive political controls were introduced to the casino hub in recent years, especially after huge anti-government protests in Hong Kong in 2019 that led Beijing to crack down on virtually all public dissent. A vigil commemorating China's bloody 1989 military crackdown on the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests was banned. Pro-democracy figures were barred from running in Macao's 2021 legislative elections. Earlier this month, an incumbent lawmaker known for his centrist stance was also disqualified from running in this year's legislative election.
