Sometimes an innovative
executive sous chef can transform a reputed restaurant into something
extraordinary. And mezza9 is one such fortunate restaurant to receive
this illustrious transformation from Simon Ruf. Ruf is a Swiss
native, and was previously chef de cuisine at the luxurious Grand Hyatt
Guangzhou, located in the capital of Guangdong
Province, China. Before
joining Hyatt International, Ruf had worked at an array of renowned
restaurants in Europe, including the widely acclaimed three-Michelin
star German Restaurant Barreis in the Black Forest, where he held the role of chef de partie. A
kitchen wizard with deft hands who has a hidden talent of ball-juggling,
Ruf enjoys playing the piano to unwind at the end of the day. Ruf and his
culinary team at Grand Hyatt Singapore’s signature restaurant mezza9 have an
irresistible offer that no gourmand would say no to. From 1 to 31 May,
the feted restaurant will serve spargel – German for white asparagus.
This seasonal delicacy is high in folic acid and is a good source of
potassium, fibre, vitamin B6, and vitamins A and C. With no cholesterol, no fat, and very low in sodium
and calories, spargel makes the ideal dish for that perfect healthy
meal. Diners at mezza9 can enjoy
these white asparagus from Schweigen in Germany, specially
prepared by our executive sous chef Simon Ruf, and paired with wines
from the region. Menu highlights include: Cream
of White Asparagus Soup, White Asparagus with Hollandaise and Poached
Egg, White Asparagus with Herb Vinaigrette and Crispy Onion, White
Asparagus with Hazelnut Butter, Steamed White Asparagus with Prawn
Mousse and Ginger Paste, White Asparagus with Hollandaise and Serrano
Ham
À la carte dishes are
available for both lunch and dinner. For reservations call Grand Hyatt Singapore
at 6738 1234 or visit them at 10
Scotts Road.
