| Indulge in Michelin stardom at mezza9, Grand Hyatt Singapore with Executive Chef Brian Cleere.
Irish executive chef, Brian Cleere, whips up delectable and luscious cuisine that promises to set
palates ablaze with pleasure. From Ireland to Australia and finally to Asia, Cleere's endeavours and
expeditions have rewarded him with two impressive Michelin stars in 1994 at the Park Hotel Kenmare,
Ireland. In 1995, he joined the Grand Hyatt group in Asia and boosted its image in the culinary
scene over eight years. His first designation with the hotel group was at Grand Hyatt Taipei, Taiwan,
where he was chef de cuisine. Shortly after, Cleere joined Grand Hyatt Fukuoka, Japan, as executive
chef and acquired vast and priceless experience. At Grand Hyatt Singapore, he came in contact with
a myriad of cultures in this multi-faceted city and developed an intimacy with cultures apart from his
own. Cleere emerged as the WGS Awards of Excellence award recipient in 2004.

The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore

| Listen to the silent symphony of exquisite cuisine fit for dignitaries, conducted by the maestro of sophisticated
gastronomy, Christophe Megel. Megel’s culinary composition has been polished and refined under the
guidance of the legendary three-Michelin-starred Chef Alain Ducasse. His beautiful melodic gastronomic
overtures have stirred the hearts and souls of many, including former French minister, Martine Aubry,
when he served as the head of the minister’s kitchen. Megel has brought his culinary art to six countries
including the United States of America (five-star Le Cirque) and Korea (five-star Hotel Shilla). He was also
member of the pre-opening team of Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Osaka. Under Megel’s direction, Ritz-Carlton,
Millenia Singapore’s reputation is in crescendo as it has been conferred the dynamic title of the third best
food and beverage operation in Asia by Conde Nast Traveller in 2002. In 2003, Megel was nominated as a
finalist for the ‘Executive Chef of the Year’ award presented by Tabasco at the WGS Awards of Excellence.
