Garibaldi Comes to Town

There’s no denying that there’s more than a fair share of spicy banter between Malaysia and Singapore over various points of interest, ranging from crooked bridges to escaped high-profile prisoners and everything in between.

When Singaporeans argue that they have the best parties, concerts and cultural events, Malaysians often counter by saying that they’ve got the best char kuay teow, nasi lemak and roti canai.

While this may be a valid argument where street fare is concerned, we cannot deny that our dear neighbours to the south are as wellestablished, or even more so, when it comes to fine dining.

Just look at the impressive showing of celebrity chefs who have made Marina Bay Sands their new home: Guy Savoy, Wolfgang Puck and Tetsuya Wakuda. In 2003, long before this island state caught the attention of those culinary superstars, a young chef by the name of Roberto Galetti began making waves in the city’s food circles.

The Brescia-born chef had made a name for himself while working with the worldrenowned Bice Group and his immense talent led him to eventually become Executive Chef of Bice Singapore located in the prestigious Goodwood Park Hotel.

However, after being hit by the entrepreneurial bug, Galetti, with the help of his family and friends, opened Singapore’s acclaimed Garibaldi in 2003, which has since been rated as the seventh best restaurant in Asia by the Miele Guide.
