I was excited when Singapore opened a Vegas-style Casino with the Marina Bay Sands. I was really excited when word came that some "Celebrity Chefs" would open restaurants at said Casino. Then, I became super excited when I found out that one of those restaurants would be MARIO BATALI'S MOZZA. I've been a fan of this Iron Chef since I tried his eateries in Vegas at the Venetian but I never tried his legendary Pizza. So when Mozza opened, we checked it out, dined like gods and loved every bite of it. Me thinks that the Batali name would be very popular in Singapore!
A few weeks later, we were eating Valentines Dinner at the DB Bistro Moderne (which was great as well) and as we walked out, lo and behold, there's the man himself, Mario Batali, talking on the phone. Turns out, he was in town for the week to check out his new place, he was extremely pleasant, we chatted about Vancouver and Singapore and then I was lucky enough to grab a quick pic. Michelle got to meet him as well but before a second pic could be snapped, he was off! At least we got to meet one one of our favorite chefs in person, a great way to end Valentines Day! Thanks Mario Batali!!!
