I got back 1 week ago from Singapore where I spent 10 days participating in the World Gourmet summit. But it was a bit of a different role…………. I was translating (Spanish-English) and assisting Alfonso, The Head Chef of Paco’s Tapas Bar Estado Puro. So we were preparing some new versions of classic Spanish tapas. These kinds of Chef gatherings are always good as I can meet with my friends from all over the world who are coming to present. Unfortunately as we were preparing dinner every night in the Sentosa Resort we did not get a chance to go to the other restaurants to see what our other Spanish friends were preparing during this week. The other Spanish Chefs we went with were Oriol Balaguer (one of the best Pastry Chefs in the world), David Muñoz (Chef owner of Madrid’s hardest table to book), Sergi Arola (2 Star Michelin) and of course Alfonso Castellano. But of course it wasn’t all work, we had many great lunches (and drinks) together.

I always love to visit Singapore as it is such a dynamic city with so much to offer, during this week I will be writing many stories of things I had forgotten about since my time living in Shanghai. I have a very special place in my heart for Asia so I will try to share some of the more unique things with you.
