MACAU, Sept. 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Wynn Macau is proud to
officially unveil Drunken Fish, a brand-new immersive seafood
restaurant concept that is set to elevate Macao's culinary scene to even greater heights
when it opened on September 28. The restaurant's Chinese
name of "Jiu Kun" is deeply
intertwined with Chinese culture as it symbolizes the aspirations
and dreams of the legendary "Kunpeng" – a giant mythical Chinese
fish. It is also a reflection of Wynn's grand vision for culinary
excellence. At Drunken Fish, indulgence knows no bounds. It's a
lively place where you "drink like a fish" and feast like a
connoisseur. Dynamic and dramatic, Drunken Fish is a destination
peppered with moments of surprise in an immersive evening of
sensorial dining.
With renowned Executive Chef Henry Zhang
Zhicheng at the helm, Drunken Fish gathers the world's most
premium seafood, an extensive selection of fine wines and liquors,
skillfully integrates innovative culinary techniques from around
the region, and cleverly infuses Moutai into seafood dishes to
create a gastronomic experience like no other. Drunken Fish is the
first restaurant in Macao where
guests can bid on the freshest catches, adding an interactive twist
to their dining experience with opportunities to acquire premium
and rare selections while enjoying engaging interactions. The
restaurant features a modern design with multiple hand-bent curved
aquariums and a trendy turquoise Moutai bar, creating a lively
atmosphere that showcases fresh seafood and mimics the beauty of
underwater life. The Performance Lake serves as the restaurant's
centerpiece, offering guests a 180-degree view of captivating
performances, and enriching the overall dining experience.
Indulge in a live seafood extravaganza and a curated
collection of fine wines
The culinary team at Drunken Fish scours the globe to find the
most premium of seafood and brings them to Wynn, where every dish
is prepared to perfection by Chef Zhang and his team. Imagine
highly sought-after French blue lobsters, the succulent flavors of
Sri Lankan crabs, and Malaysia's
truly unforgettable freshwater fish
– Empurau. Guests are welcome to choose the spicy
flavors of Sichuan alongside Hong
Kong-style cooking and a fusion of Singaporean, Thai, and Japanese
cuisines, which combine to create an explosion of incredible
flavors across diverse cultures. Each delicacy at Drunken Fish is a
tribute to the ocean. The Sri Lankan Mud Crab with Signature
Black Pepper is one of the standout dishes at Drunken Fish
which draws inspiration from Singapore's famed Black Pepper Crab. To add
even greater depth of flavor to this dish, Chef Zhang uses his
secret black pepper sauce specially made with Kobe beef to create an aroma that is simply
out-of-this-world. Chef Zhang's Australian Lobster with
Homemade Curry and Egg is a truly multicultural dish
which blends the curry dishes of India, Japan,
and Malaysia. This dish combines
the rich and spicy curry flavors of India with the unique flavors of Japanese
curry and the milder Malaysian curry which uses coconut milk.
Paired with the rich flavors of Australian lobster, the Asian
curries add an exciting new dimension to this dish.
Drunken Fish is the first and only restaurant in Macao to create a haven for Moutai enthusiasts
with a trendy new Moutai Bar which features an extensive collection
of rare Moutai liquor. Mark Lloyd,
Head Mixologist at Wynn will serve inventive Moutai-infused
cocktails, adding a spirited twist to traditional cocktails. Guests
are also welcome to sample a curated selection of award-winning
Chinese wines from the Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards
collection. Beyond enjoying Moutai at the bar, Chef Zhang also
creatively infuses Moutai into his signature dishes, marrying the
unique flavors of Moutai and the freshness of the seafood. The
Red-spotted Grouper with pickled tomato, chili, bean sprouts
and Moutai takes inspiration from a traditional fish
in sour soup dish originally created by the Miao and Dong ethnic
groups of Guizhou, China. Infused
with Moutai, the aroma of the liquor brings out the ultimate
freshness of the fish. It is sour, spicy, refreshing, and
extremely delicious. Another standout dish is the Moutai
Flambé Crispy Chicken which features the Cantonese
favorite – Three Yellow Chicken – which is tender on the inside and
crispy on the outside. Infused with Moutai, this culinary
masterpiece elevates Moutai and Chinese cuisine to new heights.
In yet another first, Drunken Fish is the only restaurant in
Macao to specialize in seafood dim
sum. Each day for lunch, Chef Zhang and his team will prepare
homemade dim sum dishes featuring the world's finest seafood. Each
delicately crafted dim sum is a beautiful work of art and showcases
the rich flavors of the sea.
Experience the thrill of bidding at a live auction
Drunken Fish is also pleased to present its very own "Live
Auction of Fine Seafood and Wine" every Friday and Saturday
evening. Once night falls, plumes of water and fire magically light
up the Performance Lake to officially kick-off the live,
interactive auction. The gavel bangs and crowds erupt in an excited
roar as a high-spirited live seafood auction begins — excitement
palpable against the rhythmic backdrop of Performance Lake. The
evening comes alive at the hands of master chefs, with
prize-winning catches transformed into culinary masterpieces.
Whether it's rare, wild-caught seafood from the deep sea or fine
Moutai liquor, the competition is fierce. Experience the thrill of
bidding at a live auction, where the highest bidder will receive a
round of applause. Chef Zhang and his team will also ensure the
prized seafood is perfectly prepared to meet the preferences of
each guest.
Drunken Fish is not just a restaurant, but an electrifying
dining destination celebrating inventive Moutai cocktails and the
rarest treasures of the ocean, sourced meticulously from across the
globe.
