For one night only, il Giardino at the Singapore Botanic Gardens is bringing together two Barilla Pasta Champions for Race to the Garden Table, a four-hands dinner inspired by Monza and the flavours of Northern Italy.
Taking place on Friday, 9 October 2026, the dinner features Chef Lee Jungchul, Barilla South Korea Champion 2025, and Chef Felix Lee, Barilla Singapore Champion 2025. The collaboration centres on Barilla’s limited-edition Racing Wheel Pasta, with the menu designed around Italian culinary traditions and contemporary interpretations.
A Monza-inspired four-hands dinner
Monza is closely associated with Italian motorsport, and the dinner draws on that connection with a menu built around Northern Italian flavours. Rather than simply leaning on a racing theme, the collaboration puts the focus on pasta, regional ingredients and the two chefs’ different approaches.
The event is priced at S$88++ per person for a four-course set dinner.
Start with cicchetti before dinner
The evening begins at 6pm with a welcome drink and a free-flow cicchetti hour, available while stocks last. Both chefs will then give a short welcome before dinner begins at 7pm.
The published event schedule is:
- 6pm–6.45pm: Welcome drink and cicchetti hour
- 6.45pm–7pm: Welcome speech by both chefs
- 7pm: Four-course dinner begins
