Celebrate festive season at StarWorld Macau

Temptations Senses –Christmas Menu

Historic Celebration of Traditional Xmas Fig Recipes at Temptations Senses

StarWorld Macau's fine dining mecca Temptations Senses is celebrating Xmas with a 'fig' theme dating back centuries. The luscious fruit is legendary for its mention in the Christmas carol "We Wish You A Merry Christmas," which repeats: "Now bring us some figgy pudding" in the chorus. Joe Chan, the Executive Chef of StarWorld Macau, is paying tribute to this European tradition at Temptations Senses by incorporating figs as the "hero ingredient" of his authentic and traditional Christmas menus at just MOP888.

Figs contain high nutritional values including good amount of potassium which helps regulate the bodies' blood pressure; dietary fiber that can help control the bodies' cholesterol and good amount of vitamins, such as Vitamin B6 that allows the body to store energy from protein and carbohydrates. Having a healthy fig-themed Xmas dinner with the beloved ones can further show your caring love to them.

On Christmas Eve, the 5-course gourmet menu features:

• Grated Foie Gras, Peppered Duck Breast with Fresh Fig and Black Truffle • Cèpe Pigeon Consommé • Gratin Lobster with Golden Caviar • US Beef Tenderloin, Fig, Chanterelle, Porcini & Pancetta Ragout; or Seared Silver Cod, Tuna & Alaskan Crab Leg • Cherry Jubilee (gueridon service) and self-serviced dessert bar

On New Year's Eve, more culinary surprises await you at Temptations Senses. At just MOP888, the gastronomic feast ends the year 2011 on a perfect note, featuring:

• Caviar, Carpaccio of Scallop, Salmon Tartar • Baked Australian Oyster with Cheese • Cappuccino of Truffle, Ibérico Ham • Seared Hamachi, Prawns & Kinome Jus; or US Rib Eye Beef, Sautéed Cèpe Spinach, Plum & Shelly Jus • Cherry Jubilee (gueridon service) and self-serviced dessert bar

Come and indulge in the symphony culinary styles of flavours with your loved ones at Temptations Senses!
