The collaboration includes a series of unique four-hands champagne brunches, set against serene waterfront views

Looking out over the sprawling Fullerton heritage precinct and Marina Bay is Mediterranean restaurant Riviera’s elegant lounge. Here sets the extraordinary scene for an equally unique brunch experience. The World Gourmet Summit puts a welcome twist on travel plans by going local, conceptualising a never-before-seen lineup of four-hands champagne brunches, introducing brunch aficionados to an elevated style of dining.

Serving up bold fusions every Saturday from September 4 to September 25, this unlikely partnership between Riviera and PasirPanjangBoy takes you to the Mediterranean coast, while injecting a beyond-colourful splash of Peranakan flavours into the mix. The result? A memorable nostalgic yet contemporary affair that keeps you coming back for more.

PasirPanjangBoy’s unique private dining concept is known for being fully booked at least three months in advance due to popular demand and limited space. It’s no big shocker, considering the personable and hilarious private chef duo, Chefs Tinoq Russell Goh and Dylan Chan. Bringing you than just your usual eating fare, this cosmetic stylist pair are veritable entertainers, known for their charming yet down-to-earth personalities. Their charisma and passion for great presentations push them to curate a genuine ‘makan at home’ experience.

The eccentric duo is joined by Riviera’s executive chef Rémy Carmignani and executive pastry chef Nicolas Vergnole. Both well-accomplished, the Riviera’s in-house maestros are the recipients of notable culinary accolades, a testament to their skill and experience in the kitchen. Finalist of World Gourmet Awards’ Chef of the Year (Male) 2021, Carmignani’s affinity with food draws on the merging of cuisines from across the Mediterranean, from both of his Southern French grandmothers and his Italian grandfathers, making his creations touchingly personal.
