TOP SECRET

well it was…

The late but great multiple Michelin Starred Chef Joël Robuchon and The irrepressible Travelling Gourmet TM

The mysterious and debonair Travelling Gourmet TM reveals a secret that he has known for some time…

MAESTRO della Cucina Prego ristorante in Fairmont, mio grande amico Masterchef Antonio Facchinetti is leaving for Manila….soon. I embargoed this Intel for sometime due to my regard for friends in high places in Fairmont hotel. I have friends in high and low places…also bright and dark places…

For over six years Chef Antonio brought warmth, joy, YUMMIE food and great dishes like his marvellous Timballo to kill for! Also the Bistecca Fiorrentina to nuke rogue regime and terrorist sponsor iran for! NEVER ever say to die for, the favourite cliched-goondoo phrase of brain-dead wannabe food bloogers (pun intended, not a spelling error) Wahahahah! Chef Antonio is the longest serving/cooking Chef to helm Prego, my favouritte Italian ristorante in Sunny Singapore. Antonio is a true blue gentleman I am honoured to call mio grande amico, humble and kind with a true instinct for good Italian cuisine without wierd molecular gastronomy, wierder chemicals and liquid Nitrogen than freeze your finers off…literally.

Believe me…Good things never end. They get BETTER and BETTER! Interviews are in progress for his replacement…my lips are sealed. I am nothing if not discreet…

Good things for Manila and for the filipinos that love authentic Italian food…and for sure good things too for Prego in the future! There is always somnething exciting in the world of food and wine and hospitality!

REMEMBER YOU HEARD THE INTEL first from Dr. Michael Lim THE Travelling Gourmet TM!!! 🙂
