(Macao, December 11, 2012) – Sands® Macao, located in the heart of the bustling Macao peninsula, will be the perfect place to share the joyful holiday season with families, friends and loved ones this winter, as the hotel’s award-winning Copa Steakhouse and signature 888 Buffet are set to offer an irresistible selection of Christmas and New Year dining promotions, offering pleasant surprises that will make these special moments of the year even more memorable. Book now to savour the variety of fresh gourmet that can only be experienced at Sands Macao.
In addition, the talented team of pastry chefs at Sands Macao has created an over 10-metre high ginger bread Christmas-themed façade in the shape of the Ruins of St. Paul’s, one of Macao’s signature world heritage sites. The replica, which was created using over 14,000 eggs, 4,000 litres of water, 600 kg of icing sugar, 250 kg of cake flour and 130 kg of glucose, amongst other ingredients, is now being displayed at the hotel’s casino. It took the eight pastry chefs four months to confirm the design and prepare the ingredients, and more than 200 hours to tile the ginger bread onto the backdrop and to put up the Christmas decorations.
