#247 Michael Wilson | Marguerite

When I was asked if I’d like to talk to Michael Wilson, chef patron at Michelin Star fine dining Marguerite as well as Hortus in the Gardens by the Bay Flower Dome in Singapore I of course said yes. Then I got nervous. Michael trained in Melbourne under Guy Grossi and Andrew McConnell before heading to Shanghai where he earned his first Michelin Star, 5 months after opening Phenix in the Puli Hotel and Spa. Now he is executive chef and part of the group who owns the incredible Marguerite. But I needn’t have worried. We had a lovely chat over Zoom. Michael is down to earth, super friendly and as we spoke his two dogs appeared on the screen before falling asleep beside him. Michael’s menu at Marguerite is a seven plus course degustation filled with labour intensive but absolutely delicious flavours and creativity. Michael has some fresh and satisfying perspectives on food, cooking and the industry as a whole. I can’t wait to go to Singapore, get the buggy through the flower dome to Marguerite and savour every mouthful.
