Wynn Macau debuts its exclusive new restaurant

After a successful two-year search for mainland China’s best chefs, an exhaustive multi-million renovation, and months of culinary research, Wynn Macau launches Golden Flower, its most ambitious and exclusive restaurant to date.

Set in an opulent and exclusive dining room, Golden Flower celebrates the life of the historic Cantonese Qing dynasty official Tan Zongjun with the authentic flavors of China’s interior - Tan, Lu (Shandong), and Sichuan. Signature dishes include Braised Jinshan, shark’s fin in supreme chicken broth, Imperial dessert and many more.

Tan Zongjun inspired several generations of chefs to uphold the traditions of Tan Cuisine, including Golden Flower’s very own Chinese Executive chef Liu Guo Zhu, who worked for more than a decade in the same kitchen as a chef from the original Tan household. Master Liu, who heads Golden Flower and oversees Wynn Macau’s entire Chinese kitchen operations, was discovered during Wynn Macau’s exhaustive two-year search for China’s best Mainland Chinese chefs.

Passing the Torch: Golden Flower’s Culinary Brigade

Over a career spanning four decades, Master Liu has mentored hundreds of young Chinese chefs, teaching them the time-honored recipes for the Tan, Lu, and Sichuan cuisine of the Beijing Hotel and the Beijing Grand Hotel. He brings to Wynn Macau his top seven apprentices, who have gone on to illustrious careers in Beijing’s most prestigious kitchens. His four decades of work experience include more than twenty years at the legendary Beijing Hotel (where he cooked for Her Royal Highness the Queen of England, US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and Chinese leader Deng Xiao Ping); Executive Chef at the Beijing Grand Hotel; and Chief Instructor at the Chinese Culinary Institute of Hong Kong.
