Day 2: MGM x RR1HK Culinary Masters Macau 2025 Draws to a Close, Culminating With Even More Cultural and Culinary Adventures


Our spectacular gala dinner has concluded, but the activities and programmes continue.

After a long night of celebrations that encroached into the early hours of the day, the sun rose over the vibrant cityscape of Macau, and guests were welcomed to a Sunday filled with enriching experiences and delightful flavours to wrap up MGM x RR1HK Culinary Masters Macau 2025. While the 9-Michelin-Star Culinary Masters Gala Dinner, with its multiple courses, multiple chefs, and multiple stars, may have been the highlight of the night before, the culinary journey was far from over! Day two promised an array of activities designed to immerse VIP guests and RR1 Hong Kong members in local culture, culinary arts, and well-deserved relaxation for a Sunday Kind of Love to wrap up the action-packed weekend.

While many guests opted for a lie-in or in-room dining after the remarkable dinner and afterparty, for some, Sunday began with an optional breakfast at Coast, where guests indulged in a selection of delectable dishes. From East-meets-West signature selections to rejuvenating blended juices and more, the stellar uniformed chefs of MGM COTAI were on standby to prepare the first meal of the day, setting the perfect tone. Guests savoured their morning in peace in a serene atmosphere before embarking on a day of adventure.

Dram Good Stuff’s Kam Daswani on the Exquisite World of Fine Whisky, How Each Encounter Is Unique, and Being a Keeper of the Quaich


Dram Good Stuff delivers on its name’s inherent promise: rare whiskies of excellent sourcing, vintage, and taste, fuelled by Daswani.

Few things are more thrilling than discovering an open secret in the heart of Hong Kong. In an inconspicuous high-rise on Lyndhurst Terrace, only those in the know have made their pilgrimage through a labyrinth of stairs and corridors to discover treasures of untold fortune and global sourcing. Liquid amber and gold are painstakingly collected, curated, and coursed as the man behind the locked and lacquered doors entrances you with his bon mots on the glory-be bottles that he has in store: simply, the finest whisky in town, hence the name.

Kam Daswani, founder and managing partner of Dram Good Stuff, has carved a niche for himself in the whisky sector. With a passion for fine spirits—and an impressive collection of watches that he’s known for in equal measure—his journey is as captivating as the things he curates. In an exclusive interview with Robb Report Hong Kong, Daswani shares insights into his philosophy on whisky, the evolution of the brand, and the essence of luxury.

Penfolds Unveils Its Exclusive Grange La Chapelle 2021 Collaboration in Hong Kong


Penfolds and La Chapelle paint the town red with this rarefied limited edition.

Penfolds has unveiled its ultra-exclusive new wine, Grange La Chapelle 2021, now officially available in limited quantities in Hong Kong. A highly anticipated vintage, this release signifies an unprecedented collaboration in the world of viticulture, showcasing the artistry and innovation of two legendary winemakers: Peter Gago of Penfolds and Caroline Frey of La Chapelle, who proved that it does take two to tango.

Grange La Chapelle 2021 emerges from the deep-rooted friendship between Gago, chief winemaker of Penfolds Grange, and Frey, chief winemaker of La Chapelle in France, but their partnership is not merely a blending of wines—it is a celebration of culture, tradition, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Resulting from that is a pioneering 50/50 blend of French Syrah and Australian Shiraz, marrying the storied terroirs of Hermitage and South Australia in a way that has, as far as memory serves, never been accomplished before.

Cartier Reimagines Its Emblematic Santos de Cartier Wristwatch In a Smaller Size


Not just for pilots or fashionistas, the latest accessory, now in a more petite size and available in a dual-tone colourway, is a must-have for the discerning collector.

Originally crafted for the pioneering aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904, the Santos de Cartier timepiece has oft been touted as the first modern wristwatch, breaking away from the pocket-watch tradition that had been the fashionable norm in the previous century. Its distinctive square case and visible screws—once a hidden aspect of horology—have become defining aesthetic elements of the singular design and collection. 

In 2025, Cartier introduces a new iteration of the Santos de Cartier, a smaller model that nonetheless reflects the proportions of the original designs. Measuring 27 mm x 34.5 mm, this latest design is available in both gold and steel, showcasing a blend of materials that enhances its elegance. Cartier maintains the design principles that characterise the larger models (as seen on Tom Cruise or Jake Gyllenhaal)—pure lines, precise shapes, and exquisite details—while contrasting these with the industrial allure of its visible screws.

Cindy Chao’s White Label Collection: Wearable Art For Life’s Most Meaningful Moments

Exceptional creations with the highest standards of artistic jewellery, Cindy Chao’s White Label Collection is perfect for all the right reasons and seasons.

We have witnessed the striking presence of Cindy Chao’s masterpieces in only a handful of prestigious settings: on the red carpet worn by award-winning stars of note, and as centrepieces in haloed museums, displayed in well-lit, foreboding glass cases to be admired from afar. You may look, but certainly not touch these works of rare art. 

Cindy Chao The Art Jewel has garnered admiration from connoisseurs and collectors alike over the years as the artist’s work is that perfect amalgam of bejewelled sculptures that can be worn with glittering ease. A perfectly structured leaf or butterfly dazzling in diamonds and precious stones—it must be the art jewel Chao is synonymous with. 

While the iconic Black Label Masterpieces remain the crown jewels of the maison, the White Label Collection represents an exquisite expression of Cindy Chao’s artistic universe. It not only embodies the essence of artistic jewellery but also offers a sophisticated entry into her sculptural aesthetic through captivating thematic series, most notably the celebrated Four Seasons.
