The new concept celebrates the natural affinity between Mediterranean cuisine and Macao’s own multicultural gastronomic heritage. Both are shaped by centuries of cultural exchange and global influence, resulting in a shared culinary philosophy that honors tradition, embraces diversity, and celebrates honest ingredients.

At The Manor, this dialogue across cultures and continents is brought to life through a meticulously curated menu. Drawing inspiration from the culinary traditions of Spain, Italy, Greece, and the South of France, Chef Michele focuses on premium ingredients and authentic techniques to deliver a full-spectrum Mediterranean dining experience—from vibrant appetizers to hearty mains and elegant desserts.

Signature Dishes Include:

Greek Style Grilled Octopus: A delicate Mediterranean preparation featuring tender grilled octopus served with roasted potatoes, Pequinillo peppers, Kalamata olives, and oregano – a tribute to the balanced, sun-kissed flavors of Greece and Spain.

Piri-Piri Prawn: Inspired by the maritime spice routes of the Portuguese Age of Discovery, this dish blends prawns with garlic, herbs, lemon, and a bold piri-piri chili sauce.

Grilled Spring Chicken: Marinated with rosemary, the chicken is roasted to perfection and served with green salad and heirloom carrots – a harmony of herbaceous brightness and wood-fired depth.

Seafood Risotto: A luxurious saffron-and-tomato-based risotto enriched with prawns, squid, and mussels, offering a layered, savory Mediterranean flavor profile.

The culinary journey continues beyond the plate with a curated selection of Mediterranean-inspired cocktails, designed to evoke the romance and vitality of the region:

Violet Horizon: A visually striking cocktail blending butterfly pea flower, violet liqueur, and Bombay gin, dusted with edible gold for a sunset-glow finish.

Marseille Mistral: A bold, aromatic mix of seaweed-infused whisky, Amaro, citrus, chili, and lemongrass syrup – reminiscent of a stroll through a Provençal spice market.

Executive Sous Chef Michele Dell‘Aquila shared, “With the introduction of the new concept, we hope to bring the warmth, heritage, and human connection of the Mediterranean straight to every guest’s table here in Macao.”

Guests can choose from à la carte options or a specially curated tasting menu.

The “Guizhou Model” of Digital-Real Integration: Big Data Empowers Industrial Transformation and Upgrading

GUIYANG, China, Aug. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A news report by Huanqiu.com

Guizhou, a province situated in China’s southwestern hinterlands, is advancing its high-quality development based on digital economy. From 5G smart plants to agricultural digital technologies, and then to characteristic tourism services embedded with large models, digital economy is profoundly reshaping the local industry, agriculture and cultural tourism, and promoting the digital-real integration, thereby opening up a path for industrial transformation and upgrading.

Although located deep inland with no advantage of raw material costs, the made-in-Guizhou tyres are sold to over 140 countries and regions, with overseas revenue accounting for above 40%. Addressing the weakness of high energy consumption of the traditional manufacturing sector, Guizhou Tyre Co has resolutely pushed ahead green and intelligent transformation, and implemented more than 40 solutions of the fourth industrial revolution, e.g. AI-driven design, advanced data analysis and flexible automation, so as to improve production agility and productivity. These initiatives have uplifted labor productivity by 68%, and reduced product defects and inventory by 57% and 34% respectively. Thus, Guizhou Tyre Co earned a spot on the first batch of “lighthouse factories” for 2025 released by the World Economic Forum (WEF).

At present, Guizhou Tyre is accelerating the pace of transformation, and actively advancing the stage 2 construction of the Zhazuo phase 4 project. After being put into service this year, the rooftop PV power project will produce 35GWh green electricity annually, which will reduce carbon emissions by 22,800 tons and save electricity costs up to 10 million yuan. Meanwhile, 5G technology has been deeply integrated into manufacturing. In the digital workshop, 5G-based unmanned AGVs precisely deliver materials, robotic arms complete the fabrication of a tyre bead every 25 seconds, and fully automated vulcanizing machines save 15% of energy consumption. In this July, the 2# intelligent hot production line of the engineering radial tyres branch company was launched, symbolizing a milestone of the intelligent transformation.

The “Guizhou solutions” for smart agriculture have emerged when the local mountain agriculture is empowered by science and technology. In just a few minutes, the drones of Guizhou Tianditong Technology Company are able to complete the plant protection tasks which required several hours of manual labor in the past, uplifting its efficiency by over 20 times. As a breakthrough of traditional spraying methods, such technology has realized targeted seeding, fertilization and transportation of supplies, and broken the bottleneck of farming on sloping fields by the terrain-following flight algorithm.

The progression of smart agriculture depends on the industry-academia-research integration. Jointly established by Guizhou University, Guizhou Institute of Agricultural Mechanization, and Guizhou Aerospace Smart Agriculture Co., Ltd., the Guizhou key laboratory of mountain intelligent agricultural mechanization is the unique R&D platform dedicated for agricultural mechanization in hilly and mountainous areas in this province, addressing the dilemma of “no suitable machinery available”. At present, the “unmanned rice farm” in Jianhe County has achieved unattended operation for the whole process; the Rosa roxbunghi harvester records a picking rate of 94.42%, up tenfold compared to manual picking; the intelligent irrigation system has been rolled out in more than 500,000 mu of farmlands, saving water consumption by over 30%. Guizhou Aerospace Smart Agriculture’s innovative technologies and services have so far covered more than 20 provinces and autonomous regions across China, and the cumulative application area totals over 3 million mu. The company also actively explores the international market and exports the “Guizhou solutions”.

Digital technology has also reshaped the province’s culture and tourism service pattern and experience. The upgraded “One-Code Tour Guizhou” 3.0 version in this April, the provincial smart tourism portal platform, attaches great importance to user experience and service efficiency, and offers three innovative functions of “one entry for reservation of province-wide discounted admission tickets”, a new version of App and “Huang Xiao Xi“, an AI tourism model, heralding a new epoch of smart tourism in Guizhou.


Service inclusiveness and efficiency revolution are the core values of platform upgrading. The newly launched certification channel for concessionary tourists like teachers and students in April has cumulatively served 600,000+ people. The “Guizhou travel agency certification channel for concessionary tourists” was recently launched in July that authorized travel agencies can complete online certification, reservation and verification of group tourists, which are expected to save over 70% of labor and time costs.

Upholding the principles of “data aggregation, industry promotion, efficient management, targeted marketing and tailor-made service”, the platform has integrated tourism resources and empowered various scenic areas to develop their own business ecology and distribution systems, which contribute to the quantitative increment and efficiency improvement of the tourism industry, and precisely meet the needs of tourists for convenience, customization and immersive experiences.

Sowing Seeds of Progress: Jay and Marilyn Ng’s S$3.85M Gift Advances Social Mobility and Innovation at SMU

SINGAPORE, Aug. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A couple who once navigated their own university journeys on modest means is now sowing seeds of progress for the next generation. In celebration of their silver wedding anniversary, Mr Jay Ng and Mrs Marilyn Ng have made a generous S$3.85 million gift to Singapore Management University (SMU). Inspired by their own experiences and driven by gratitude, their giving reflects a heartfelt belief that financial circumstances should never stand in the way of talent or aspiration.

The gift supports a diverse set of initiatives aligned with SMU’s refreshed vision — to drive innovations, transcend boundaries, and transform lives. It reflects the University’s continued commitment to nurturing change agents, strengthening social mobility, and fostering entrepreneurship in Singapore and beyond.

A key highlight of the gift is the renaming of the Greenhouse at SMU Connexion as the Jay and Marilyn Ng Greenhouse: Hub for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, in recognition of the couple’s generous support for innovation and entrepreneurship. This refreshed, dynamic space will serve as a vibrant hub where students, alumni, and faculty come together to co-create with global changemakers, and catalyse bold ideas into ventures with real-world impact. Through a lively calendar of workshops, mixers, demo days and pitch nights, the Greenhouse brings people and possibilities together, fuelling a vibrant ecosystem of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Beyond innovation, the gift also uplifts individuals and communities through education and financial empowerment. It supports: 

  • Study Awards for students with demonstrated financial needs: Offered in perpetuity, the needs-based awards will support two undergraduates each year from SMU’s Lee Kong Chian School of Business or School of Accountancy — ensuring that financial circumstances do not stand in the way of a quality education. 
  • Global Innovation Immersion Awards: Offered in perpetuity, this award enables students to immerse themselves in global start-up ecosystems, gaining first-hand exposure to innovation and entrepreneurship abroad. Each year, up to 12 students will benefit from this opportunity to broaden their perspectives and ignite new possibilities.
  • SMU Financial Literacy, Inclusion and Technology Club (SMU FinLIT Club): This support advances financial literacy and inclusion among young adults and other underserved communities, equipping them with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions on saving, investing, borrowing, and more. In doing so, it nurtures a financially savvy community empowered by technology and driven by awareness.
  • Malaysian Scholarship: One outstanding Malaysian student will receive a full four-year scholarship — a one-off award that reinforces SMU’s commitment to regional talent development.

“Having come from humble beginnings, we know how a lack of financial resources can hold back talented individuals in achieving their dreams. We’re very grateful for the opportunities we had. We sincerely hope that our support will open doors for others, especially those from less privileged backgrounds, to pursue their dreams, and encourage our beneficiaries to correspondingly support others in the future,” the couple shared.

Empowering a More Equitable and Innovative Singapore

Professor Lily Kong, President of SMU, said the gift exemplifies the kind of purpose-led philanthropy that can help shape Singapore’s future.

“Rooted in their own experiences of financial hardship and a steadfast belief in the transformative power of education, Jay and Marilyn’s gift reflects their heartfelt desire to uplift others, unlock opportunities, and empower future generations of changemakers.”

The couple’s contribution comes at a time when Singapore is sharpening its focus on social mobility, digital transformation, and regional engagement — priorities that SMU also champions through its emphasis on interdisciplinary learning, entrepreneurship, and ASEAN impact. Their gift underscores how personal generosity, rooted in lived experience, can advance public good and spark lasting change.
