Hi everyone. Today we are going to continue our talk on Prosecco and we have in our studio to more guest speakers, Joey and Daniele from the restaurant industry. Welcome to the show guys.
Hello everybody.
Good afternoon.
First of all, I will actually give the floor to you guys to tell us a little bit about your restaurant experience. Let's start with Daniele.
Hello. I’m Daniele Salvo from Italy, exactly from Napoli (Naples那不勒斯).
And we are located in Beijing with Bottega. We arrived here for consulting. One enterprise approached my family for restaurant consulting and we arrived here 11 years ago exactly.
I have to admit Bottega is actually one of my favorite pizza restaurants in Beijing.
Thank you.
And actually I’ve heard that you guys won the Best Pizza in Asia Award, right?
Exactly. We take this massive award from 50 Top Pizza, which is a world guide of best pizzeria in the world.
That’s impressive.
And with them, we are working that in future as so in China there will be a real ranking of best pizzeria, not just in Asia.
You basically have been around this industry, especially pizza since…basically since childhood, right?
My father was a pizza chef, all these brothers are pizza chef, my grandfather is pizza chef. We grew up in a pizza environment.
Sounds amazing.
So what about you, Joey? Your restaurant is in fusion food, is fusion cuisine, right?
Yes, that's right. My name is Joey. I’m from Singapore. I’ve been in Shanghai since 1995 and I used to work as a corporate guy in advertising.
Restaurant was something that I started in 2015. My last restaurant was called UMAAMI Global Kitchen and Bar. What we do is basically Singapore style fusion food to get with a bar. Yes.
I’m gonna ask both of you a basic question, what is it like to work in a restaurant or have a restaurant in Beijing and in Shanghai? What is unique about this experience? I mean, especially Daniele, you were always in food and beverage, how is it different?
Totally different, for me it was a unique experience.
First of all, the impact with this big city, Beijing 25 million people, we don't have this big city in South Italy. Also the communication was a big step for us, a big world. And the search of the ingredients, at beginning it was quite hard to find the right ingredients. Even simple basis was not easy to find.
But over the years, I mean in the past 5 years or so, it's getting easier, I would assume?
Definitely, with more importing company, I’m importing like made in Italy food like mozzarella, tomato, basil sauce, now it’s getting quite easier now to find products.
Sounds amazing. And what about you Joey, in Shanghai, I mean obviously people have a much more open attitude and perhaps products are just easier to source.
