  • Italian Passion American Wagyu Spanish Vibes Pizza Innovation Coffee, Tea & Wine Editor's Message
    JUNE / JULY 2016 Italian passion AMERICAN WAGYU SPANISH VIBES PIZZA INNOVATION COFFEE, TEA & WINE EDITOR'S MESSAGE In pursuit of the good life When Italians celebrate their national day in June, they also make sure that the rest of the world joins them in the festivity with their wholesome food and elegant wines. In this issue of Food & Wine, we have assembled a host of Italian restaurants and featured their creative cuisines that come from the heart. We also talked to the chefs to understand their culinary concepts and share their passion and flair for food. If there is one thing I’ve learned from attending Italian feasts, it’s their dedication to the Slow Food Movement, so make sure you allow for a copious amount of time – like three hours. A meal is to be savored slowly, not rushed. And go easy on the bread and the pasta, yummy as they are, because there are many more dishes to follow in the fullness of time. In between the numerous courses, you enjoy the conviviality, of course. And you talk about soccer, food and politics, if you’re an Italian, that is. We’ve just had Le French GourMay and Vinexpo in town in the last quarter, so a lot of the emphasis has been on wine lately. While we have been studying the pairing of wine with food, the latest movement is to compare the many commonalities between wine on the one hand, and a piping hot brew of Chinese tea, and of premium coffee on the other. We will leave no kettles unturned in the pursuit of savoir-faire! Andy Ng Features Editor FOOD & WINE • JUNE / JULY 2016 1 FOOD & WINE JUNE /

  • Taipa Village Offers Escape from Glitz and Glamour of Cotai Strip
    Taipa Village offers escape from glitz and glamour of Cotai Strip Diverse cuisines abound from traditional Chinese to cutting-edge Portuguese, Spanish and Macanese PUBLISHED : Monday, 12 June, 2017, 9:58am UPDATED : Monday, 12 June, 2017, 9:58am Galaxy Macau resort towers over Taipa Village in a juxtaposition of modernity and tradition. David Vetter Macau is much more than the sum of its modern attractions and glitzy hotels: the centre of old Macau abounds with the architecture and character of a bygone era – a time when two vastly different cultures merged. The former Portuguese enclave once consisted of the Macau Peninsula and Taipa and Coloane islands – the latter two have since become one through reclamation work that created the Cotai Strip, Macau’s answer to Las Vegas. The original Taipa Village has been well preserved, and it offers visitors a contrast to the glitz and glamour of the Cotai Strip. While the towering Galaxy Macau resort might seem a world away from the tree-lined Avenida da Praia, it neighbours Taipa Village in a juxtaposition of modernity and tradition. Taipa Village has established itself as an important gastronomic centre along with its cultural and scenic pleasures. The village is home to more than 20 eateries of diverse cuisines – from traditional Chinese fare to cutting-edge Portuguese and Spanish offerings and, of course, Macanese food. King’s Lobster restaurant is famous for its fresh lobster served in a soft bun. Among the recent arrivals is King’s Lobster restaurant whose signature dish is a mouth-watering fresh lobster served in a soft bun.

  • Looking Into Nostalgia and the Boca Doce Brand in Online Communicatons: a Netnographic Exploration of a Portuguese Instant Dessert
    International Journal of Marketing, CommunicationPedro Oliveira and New Media ISSN: 2182-9306. Special Number 2 – MDB, OCTOBER 2017 Research Paper Looking into nostalgia and the Boca Doce brand in online communicatons: a netnographic exploration of a Portuguese instant dessert. Pedro Oliveira * ABSTRACT As in many other geographies, in the Portuguese context, especially in academic literature, qualitative methods in marketing research are clearly under-represented when compared with quantitative methods. This happens all the more as qualitative methods are used in isolation over mixed-methods approaches. It follows that in the Portuguese context, netnography, the ethnographic/qualitative study of social networks conceptualized and developed by Robert Kozinets (e.g. Kozinets, 2002, 2009, 2015) remains largely unused. The following research is a first attempt at bringing netnography to the Portuguese context by studying online communication around one of its most popular dessert brands, Boca Doce, an instant dessert produced by Kraft foods and distributed in Portugal by the AMD company. Netnography is herewith used as a qualitative method in isolation while the structure of the study follows other netnographic research examples, such as the study of Listerine (Kozinets, 2010) or Nutella (Cova & Pace, 2006). Results point to two major themes in online communication around the brand: emotions and feelings about Boca Doce (generally coupled with feelings of nostalgia) versus consumer-driven innovations. Some final considerations are given to possibilities of brand innovation that can unfold when cultural and netnographic views are brought into play. Keywords: netnography; instant dessert; cultural strategy. * Brunel University, London. E-Mail: [email protected] 48 International Journal of Marketing, Communication and New Media.
