[Media Invite] “Gelato with a Heart” Dinner and Gelato World Tour in Singapore from March 20 to 22 2015
[Edited]
If you have seen my IG feeds, I hope you know that the Gelato World Tour is happening right now from March 20 to 22. In conjunction with this tour, the organizers have put together a special dinner, “Gelato with a Heart” on March 12, 2015 and I was honored to be invited for this delightful affair.
As another first for the Singapore leg of the tour, gelato once again takes centrestage from appetizer to dessert. Created by well-known Chef Christopher Christie of Marina Bay Sands and Pastry Chef Pang Kok Keong, in collaboration with the local Italian instructor of the Carpigiani Gelato University, the “Gelato with a Heart” menu featured combinations of hot and cold, sweet and savoury, unique fusions of the East and West masterpieces.
The dinner also included an auction where proceeds will be donated to beneficiaries of the Singapore President's Challenge 2015.
Thank You for taking care of the Singapore charities as well.

5. And... Ending the meal with coffee + gelato = Heaven
Thank You to The Rainmaker and the Gelato World Tour for the invite to the charity dinner. It was my honor and such and unforgettable experience. Each of the mains we had were out of this world and really a play on my tastebuds. Tastes that were unfamiliar yet a surprising blissful play on our senses. Such were the wonderful creations by the master chefs.
