At Gucci Osteria Beverly Hills, which was recently awarded a Michelin star, marble mosaics from Italy in the completely covered outdoor terrace contrast with herringbone wood flooring in an intimate and cozy environment that blends Italian refinement with Californian harmony.

Showcasing a selection of signature dishes by Mattia Agazzi, Head Chef at Gucci Osteria Bevery Hills, which was just awarded a Michelin star, including ‘Uni Carbonara,’ ‘Risotto Camouflaged as Pizza,’ and ‘Coming from the Hills ‘I Love Rock Climbing’’. Mattia is spearheading a new type of cuisine, harnessing the very best in seasonal local produce, creating playful interpretations of classic Italian dishes.

Gucci Osteria Beverly Hills has been awarded a Michelin star in the 2021 edition of the prestigious MICHELIN Guide California – a warm congratulations to the entire team, including Head Chef Mattia Agazzi, pastry chef Tamara Rigo, sous-chef Vanessa Chiu and Restaurant Director Christian Philippo. The achievement follows on the heels of Gucci Osteria’s flagship in Florence, helmed by Head Chef Karime López, receiving its first star in the 2020 MICHELIN Guide Italy.

“While it has been a very challenging time for the entire hospitality industry, the team has remained focused, united and driven to create dishes of style and substance. This Award proves that teamwork is the recipe for success!” – Mattia Agazzi

For this episode, we headed to TamJai SamGor Mixian to demolish a MASSIVE 6KG Spicy Mala Noodles Bowl! TamJai SamGor serves authentic mixian (rice noodles) and is located at Bedok Mall, Chinatown Point and Vivocity. A chain originating from Hong Kong and even awarded Bib Gourmand in Michelin Guide Hong Kong and Macau, TamJai SamGor offers customisable mixian and Guo Qiao with 16 toppings in it. You get to choose your soup base - bestsellers being the Ma La Soup and the Wu La (charred pepper) Soup.

For my challenge, I opted for the Wu La Soup with 1/10 Mild and loaded it up with most of their toppings such as pork, chicken, fishballs, pork liver, pork belly, tofu puffs, beancurd skin, beef, lettuce and beansprouts. The base was a hefty 5 servings of rice noodles and the entire bowl was filled with Wu La Soup. Note that there are 10 levels of spiciness you can choose for your soup.

The broth was reminiscent of a Bak Kut Teh broth crossed with a Thai Boat Noodles broth. It was rich and peppery. The noodles were exceptional, firm, bouncy and still giving bite even after sitting in the broth for a long time. They soaked up the broth wonderfully. For the toppings, I especially enjoyed the pork belly, which were filled with flavour from the fattiness and had some chewiness to them, and the cuttlefish balls, which were firm and bouncy with a good amount of meat in them. Apart from the toppings shared in the video, I have also shortlisted pig stomach, bamboo fungus and tail-on shrimp as my pick to be sold in TamJai SamGor.

It started raining just as filming began, which made me realise that Guo Qiao is perfect for a such a day, warm and comforting while its cold and rainy outside. Each Guo Qiao also comes with minced pork and pickled vegetables. Note that the pork is on the sweet side which actually works well to cool the heat from the soup.

I completed this challenge in 28 minutes, a good start after my food poisoning incident. It was an enjoyable challenge, basically a hearty, warming bowl of soup that reminds you of home. TamJai SamGor also offers sides dishes and I tried their TuFei Chicken Mid-Wings, which were tender and heavily spiced with a cumin mixture. Do head down to TamJai SamGor to enjoy a wholesome bowl of noodle soup, especially on a rainy day!

Do you remember my TED Talk, 'Do You Speak The Future?' Well, here’s another surprise…the day right after my TED Talk, my Latin teacher invited me to give another talk at the Anagnostics Society, the school’s Classics society! I was overjoyed, of course, but not just because of the invitation. What was so ironic about this is that I had been wanting to join this society for a long time, but I wasn’t able to because it was only open to students in the upper years, and I wasn’t old enough to enter. Yet here I was, being honoured with an invitation to give a talk at that same society! The Almighty really had planned the best for me - Alhamdulillah!

The talk was an expansion of my TED Talk topic, and I included an extra crash course in linguistics and conlanging (how to make your own language), presented in a workshop-style format. I got really positive feedback from the audience, as well as the teacher who invited me - he praised me for such a great talk, and he might have to invite me again for another talk to take an in-depth look at Tolkien’s languages! And the cherry on top was that he even awarded me with a Golden Book entry, both for my TED Talk and the talk I had given at the society - how truly humbling!

Needless to say, I was more than flattered. I also enjoyed giving the talk - one of the things that gives me most pleasure is being able to share and educate others about my passions! This truly was a blessing - indeed, even being rejected from the society in the first place was a blessing in disguise! In return, I was honoured with an invitation not only to give a talk, but to conduct a workshop as well! I am truly grateful for the opportunity to further widen my audience and carry on inspiring others by sharing my own passion.

I thank my teacher for being so trusting by honouring me with the invitation in the first place. I thank my friends and schoolmates who showed their support by attending. I thank my family for being my backbone all along. And above all, I thank Allah for bestowing countless opportunities upon me! May this be the start of many more blessed occasions to come in the year ahead…

Blessed,
O. Mukhtar O. Mukhlis
