ummer is the time of the year to be spent with your family, friends and loved ones Sand Korean barbecue is a time-honored tra- dition that is all about the bonds that matter most. This season, JW Marriott Hotel Macau is turning up the heat, throwing an extra dash of Gochujang (Korean hot sauce) into an ultra-popular gathering, by combining everyone’s two favorite summer activities – pool parties and outdoor barbecues – with the launch of the “Authentic Korean Barbe- cue Buffet.” Early evening, the sun dips below the hori- zon and the thumping bass from the latest K-Pop tunes fills the air. Saturdays and Sun- day nights will never be the same as the JW Marriott Hotel’s Pool Bar transforms into Korea gourmet central. With the multicolo- red lights twirling away and cutting through the thick, hot summer nights, guests can savor classic Korean fare and feast to their hearts delight. The journey kicks off upon your arrival on the third floor of the hotel, as Korean hostesses will greet you with “Annyeonghasaeyo” and offer a glass of Ko- rean soft drink. Whet your appetite with the six different varieties of kimchi at the Kimchi Bar, before refreshing the palates with a tantalizing bowl of sweet pumpkin or ginseng chicken soup. As you sink your teeth into the various traditional types of Jeon at the Live Station, the alluring scent of cooking meat and sea- food – pork belly, baby pork back ribs, beef short ribs, chicken in spicy sauce, mackerel or squid that have been delicately marinated and lovingly cooked to perfection – will fur- ther tantalize the senses. In many Asian cultures, food plays a central role during social gatherings and is often the ‘glue’ that has the power to bond people together. The “Authentic Korean Barbecue Buffet” is part of JW Marriott Hotel Macau’s efforts to continually bring unique and highly tailored dining experiences to guests and indeed, it never fails to impress with quality and creativity every time.

THURSDAY (JUL 7) Exhibition “Plis & Replis 3 - Works by Noël Dolla”

The exhibition showcase 32 works by French artist Noël Dolla, part of the associated Project of the Le French May Arts Festival. Noël Dolla is the youngest member of the Supports/Surfaces group. In the early 1960s, he participated in the process that led the new phase of the avant-garde art movement. Breaking with the traditional form of the picture, his works were then made of mundane materials, discarding the usual materials and structures and using abstract painting to represent his reflexions and studies on the essence of painting. This exhibition features Noël Dolla’s works over 40 years of his creative career. His works from 1960s to the present feature a unique and diverse style, which inspire the audience to reflect. The exhibition also comprises photographs of a wide array of works exhibited by Noël Dolla around the world, thereby hoping to introduce to the public the painter’s diversity of works and creative ideals as well as share the vitality and creative thinking of this French artist.
