NICHOLAS TSE TO BE HONOURED AT THE MICHELIN AND ROBERT PARKER WINE ADVOCATE GALA DINNER ON NOVEMBER 11 AT STUDIO CITY

MACAU, October 28, 2016 (Friday) – Nicholas Tse, celebrity Hong Kong actor, foodie and television chef, will join as a special Michelin guest at the inaugural Michelin and Robert Parker Wine Advocate Gala Dinner: A Sensorial Gourmet Journey on November 11 to be held at Studio City, Macau. This exclusive event will feature a special fourteen-hands dinner prepared by seven international chefs, six of which are recognized by the Michelin Guide.

This Gala Dinner is one of the highlights of the debut Michelin Guide Dining Series organized in Hong Kong and Macau throughout 2016 and 2017.

During the Gala event, in addition to presenting a special dish to 700 guests, Nicholas Tse will take the stage with Michael Ellis, International Director of the Michelin guides, and together, they will comment and share their thoughts on the vibrancy and dynamism of the Chinese culinary scene.

As a food lover and a renowned Chinese artist, Nicholas Tse will be acknowledged as a “Friend of Michelin”. Michelin is indeed delighted to salute the positive contribution Nicholas Tse is making through his work.

Nicholas Tse is the founder and host of Chef Nic (十二道鋒味), a food travelogue shot in locations around the world featuring international and Asian celebrity guests. In each episode, Tse goes in search of great cuisine and culturally unique dishes, while creating recipes of his own in the process. In addition to his show, Tse’s passion for culinary can be seen in his own bakery and two cookie brands, and his eponymous brand of kitchen equipment.
