Grand Hyatt Singapore tells the tale of two remarkable artisanal ingredients that will be delivered straight to the table this April. Acetaia San Giacomo and Yarra Valley Caviar will present three consecutive evenings at Le Pristine Singapore and 10|SCOTTS, offering guests three producer-led dining experiences.
Pete's Place, on the other hand, celebrates the start of white asparagus season with a five-course menu centered around the vegetable, which is referred to throughout Europe as "white gold" due to its labor-intensive cultivation, hand harvesting, and cultivation under mounded dirt to block all sunlight before the end of the season in late May.The series, which is set against the backdrop of Food & Hospitality Asia, aims to introduce visitors and the local community to the techniques and narratives of two producers whose methodologies elevate culinary innovation.
Le Pristine Singapore x Acetaia San Giacomo
One of Italy's most reputable manufacturers of traditional balsamic vinegar will host a one-night balsamico tasting event in Le Pristine Singapore's dining room on April 22.
Throughout the evening, Acetaia San Giacomo's owner and producer, Andrea Bezzecchi, will be on hand to walk guests through various balsamicos and explain how they are made. Since inheriting his late father's collection of more than 100 barrels of balsamico in 1994, Bezzecchi has emerged as one of Italy's most vocal supporters of genuine traditional balsamic vinegar, which is made solely from cooked grape must and does not contain wine vinegar, even among reputable producers.

A glass of Prosecco or an Oyster Spritz will be served to guests prior to a semi-buffet dinner consisting of Crudi, antipasti, Italian charcuterie, and a dessert table featuring Tiramisu.
Cannoli with Sicilian Pistachio Cream, Panna Cotta, and Dark Chocolate Gula Melaka Tart. The evening's centerpiece is a set of five plated dishes, each served with a unique balsamico from Acetaia San Giacomo's range. From the newest and most accessible expressions to one of the rarest, they draw an arc:
● Pizzette Culatello di Zibello, pistachio, and buffalo mozzarella; mixed with Balsamela, an organic apple balsamic
● Vitello Tonnato, Hamachi; paired with the two-year-old balsamic Agro di Mosto
● Stuffed Pappardelle, Eggplant, and Tomato served with Balsamico San Giacomo for children aged four to five
● Six to seven-year-old Gremolata, Creamy Polenta, and Braised Veal Cheek served with Balsamico Essenza
● The 25-year-old Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Reggio Emilia Gold Label is served with Le Pristine Signature Seafood Orecchiette with Gariguette Strawberry and Mascarpone Cream.
With each balsamico in Acetaia San Giacomo's line, the pairings' progression is intended to represent a distinct stage of aging, with complexity, richness, and sweetness increasing throughout. The Gold Label Tradizionale, which is the pinnacle of the line and is made under the stringent DOP label, which necessitates at least 25 years in wood barrels, completes the evening's pairings.
The cost of the dinner, which includes an aperitif, still and sparkling water, coffee, and tea, is SGD 135 per person. Dinner starts at 6:00 p.m.

Celebrating White Asparagus Season at Pete’s Place
In keeping with the natural European harvest window of white asparagus, Pete's Place will launch Asparagi Bianchi Di Stagione, a limited seasonal menu, on April 13. Dinner reservations are accepted until the end of May. The three-course meal features products from northern Italy, and both the cuisine and the wine selection have Piedmontese influences.

White asparagus is the foundation of every dish on the seasonal menu, emphasizing how important it is to the meal. Roasted veal loin, roasted asparagus salad, Brusca sauce (a Piedmontese condiment consisting of hard-boiled egg, lemon, tomato, and anchovy), and parmesan aioli are served with the Asparagi e Vitello ($28). The Risotto Asparagi Robiola e Noci ($38) is made using Carnaroli rice that has been kept for a year. Robiola, a fresh cow's milk cheese from Piedmont, balances the sweetness of the white asparagus, and it is finished with crushed walnuts. The Dentice e Asparagi ($46), a dish designed to highlight the contrast between the two types of asparagus, combines seared red snapper with both white and green asparagus in a herb beurre blanc.
A curated wine selection accompanies the menu, with several bottles drawn from the Veneto
and Franciacorta, two of northern Italy’s most respected wine-producing regions, whose white wines and sparkling styles are among the most natural pairings for white asparagus, balancing the ingredient’s delicate bitterness with acidity and finesse:
● Michele Chiarlo Le Madri Roero DOCG, Arneis, Piemonte, 2022
● Pieropan Calvarino Soave Classico DOC, Garganega, Veneto, 2021
● Bellavista Franciacorta Brut Teatro Alla Scala, Lombardia, 2020
● Donnafugata Dolce & Gabbana Rosa DOC, Sicilia, 2023
● Ca' del Bosco Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige Edizione 45, Lombardia, N.V
Asparagi Bianchi Di Stagione is available from 13 April to 31 May 2026, priced from SGD 26 per dish.
