This October, Mandarin Oriental, Singapore will be hosting an epic pizza omakase pop-up featuring the award-winning pizzeria hailing from Japan, The Pizza Bar on 38th, ranked No. 1 in 50 Top Pizza Asia Pacific 2024 and No. 4 in 50 Top Pizza World 2023. Exclusively from 24 to 27 October and 29 to 31 October 2024, Italian-born executive chef Daniele Cason of The Pizza Bar on 38th in Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo will helm the 8-seat only chef’s table at the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, embu, presenting his art of pizza in his masterfully crafted eight-course lunch and nine-course dinner degustation menus, served omakase-style.
“From Tokyo to Hong Kong to Abu Dhabi and now coming up in Singapore, I am thrilled to debut this exciting pop-up in Singapore, taking diners on a gastronomic journey of pizza alla pala, a unique Roman-style pizza, and served omakase-style which embraces a culinary philosophy I value which is serving the best to diners in the moment of time,” says Chef Daniele.
Crafted with Italian organic flour with a perfect ratio of a gram of yeast to 80 per cent water and 48-hour fermentation, diners can look forward to classic and seasonal gourmet pizzas, perfected by Chef Daniele’s dedication to pizza artistry, his craftmanship and handpicked ingredients. A mainstay on his menu, Bufala celebrates the essence of traditional flavours with buffalo mozzarella, San Marzano Solania tomatoes and basil. A double-baked creation, the Pizzino is one of chef’s signature favourite, featuring a ‘sandwich’ style pizza with crisp on the outside, encasing a soft and fluffy layer of mascarpone and olives, and topped with the robust notes of fresh Alba white truffle shavings. The indulgent meal ensues with the Porcini, a refreshing yet creamy blend of fresh porcini mushroom and Fontina cheese, further accentuated with the rich sweetness of in season Kyoho grape and the delicate, earthy hint of marjoram. A sweet finale to the degustation menu, the Affogato & Velvet Di Saronno presents chef’s innovative spin on the traditional Italian dessert, Affogato, ending the meal on a smooth, lingering finish with added fragrant touch of almond flavoured liqueur, Amaretto.
The Pizza Bar on 38th will be open from 24 to 31 October 2024 (closed on 28 October 2024), and available for both lunch and dinner with two rounds of service for each session.
