“With the opening of Waso Cafe at Galaxy Macau, we now offer more than 120 dining options where guests can experience a wide variety of cuisines, further reinforcing our pledge to showcase “Authentic Flavor from the Heart” while infusing the resort with a fresh burst of vitality.” Kevin Kelley said.
The three celebrities eagerly took to the kitchen after the ribbon-cutting ceremony to craft their personal favorites. Pakho Chau took on the challenge of crafting the Iced Milk Tea with Red Bean and Grass Jelly, meticulously measuring and combining the perfect portions of grass jelly, crushed ice, and chilled milk tea before pouring them into a cup and topping it off with sweet, fresh red beans. The resulting drink was visually stunning, a testament to his culinary prowess. Venus Wong opted for the iconic “Waso Pineapple Bun,” carefully inserting the scramble egg, fresh tomato slices, and butter into the golden, freshly baked bun, all while preserving the delicate crust and neatly arranging the ingredients—a feat that required skill and precision. Meanwhile, Stephanie Cheng attempted the exclusive Galaxy Macau exclusive—Pork Chop and Spicy Sardine in Pineapple Bun, skillfully paired Portuguese-style sardines with tender pork chops, then artfully stuffed the rich filling into the pineapple bun, maintaining its structural integrity while ensuring an even distribution of flavors, a task that proved more intricate than it seemed. Each of them concurred that only by trying their hand did they fully appreciate the meticulous attention to detail and years of dedication that go into every Waso Cafe dish, the accolades Waso Cafe has received from the public are well-deserved.

Waso Cafe originally sits in Yuen Long, Hong Kong, when Waso took over from her father, she often drew inspiration from daily life to create new menus. The seemingly simple “Toast with Egg Salad” was actually the favorite of Waso’s youngest son in his childhood. She prepared it for him with love, creating cherished memories that have become a hallmark of Waso Cafe’s motherly touch. The human touch, perhaps, is the most exclusive seasoning of Waso Cafe while Waso has a deep appreciation for the varied palates of her neighbors and constantly adapted and innovated her menu based on their request. When regulars walk in and order their “usual,” it’s the close bonds forged over a shared meal. Over time, Waso Cafe grew in popularity among locals, becoming a dining destination across the region and a popular hangout for celebrities. Its walls are adorned with photos of stars, attracting fans from far and wide who hope to catch a glimpse of their idols in this humble yet iconic cafe.
