Marking its 35th year, the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) will highlight the future of regional aviation at Caribbean Week, which will take place from June 16-21, 2024, at the InterContinental Times Square, located in midtown Manhattan.
The event, themed “Connecting the Globe, Celebrating Diversity,” will offer a range of activities focused on innovation and enhancing connections.

Pan Pacific Mosella introduces a fresh era of Mediterranean dining. Since June 2023, it’s been a culinary haven amidst Orchard Road’s vibrancy.
Mosella, renowned for its contemporary Mediterranean fare, embarks on an exciting new chapter with the unveiling of its refreshed menu. Since its establishment in June 2023, this legendary eatery has captivated patrons, inviting them into its verdant sanctuary nestled within Pan Pacific Orchard’s Forest Terrace. Amidst the vibrant ambiance of Orchard Road, guests are invited to discover a stunning retreat where a refined culinary journey awaits, centered on the pleasure of communal dining. Each dish is meticulously crafted from the finest seasonal ingredients, bursting with lively flavors and culinary expertise.
Introducing Team Mosella:
At the helm of the culinary team is Executive Chef Pedro Samper of Pan Pacific Orchard, leading a group of skilled chefs committed to perfecting traditional Mediterranean cuisine while infusing it with global culinary influences to elevate the dining experience. “Time flies, and in just one year, we’ve continued to refine beloved dishes like gambas al ajillo while introducing exciting new creations through extensive research and development,” shares Chef Samper about the restaurant’s updated menu.
Executive Sous Chef Boone Low oversees daily kitchen operations, including the focal point of its culinary prowess – the Josper grill oven and parilla. Also integral to the team is Executive Pastry Chef Eunice Low, whose delectable dessert creations grace the property’s dining experiences. As a skilled chocolatier, Low’s imaginative confections play a vital role in Mosella’s Saturday Brunch, afternoon tea, and festive occasions. Recently, she led a revamp of the dessert menu, adding a captivating element of showmanship that harmonizes with the restaurant’s natural, lively ambiance.
Behind the scenes, a dedicated front-of-house and culinary team form the backbone of the extraordinary dining experience at Mosella. Under the guidance of Director of F&B Amelia Matheson, the attentive and discreet front-of-house staff ensures guests’ comfort, offering recommendations on seating, views, and menu specialties with warmth and professionalism.
Embarking on a Culinary Journey
Whichever way you choose to dine – be it a solitary feast, a romantic rendezvous, or a lively gathering – Mosella’s meticulously crafted à la carte menu, available for both lunch and dinner, promises an array of tantalizing discoveries to please every palate. Drawing inspiration from the illustrious heritage of the Mediterranean diet, renowned for its reverence towards vegetables, seafood, and olive oil, Mosella presents a contemporary interpretation of this beloved culinary legacy. While the Mediterranean lifestyle is often associated with nations like Spain, Greece, Italy, and Morocco, the region encompasses a mosaic of 22 countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, fostering a dynamic culinary landscape where tradition intersects with innovation. It is within this realm of culinary exchange that Mosella artfully crafts its offerings, each dish a testament to its dedication to utilizing fresh, seasonal ingredients with utmost care and respect, emphasizing sustainability through responsibly sourced produce such as the prized codfish and succulent prawns featured in its signature creations.
Let’s delve into the captivating array of crudo (Italian and Spanish for “raw”) and hot and cold appetizers, meticulously crafted to ignite your taste buds and pave the way for an unforgettable dining journey. Begin your culinary adventure with the luscious Baba Ganoush, a refreshing twist on the classic, infused with a tantalizing smoky essence courtesy of the Josper oven, setting the perfect tone for your meal. Next, indulge in the Hokkaido Scallop Carpaccio, a masterpiece of succulent scallops marinated in a vibrant citrus dressing, accompanied by invigorating grapefruit, crunchy macadamia nuts, sourdough croutons, and decadent caviar—a symphony of flavors and textures that dance on the palate.
A true star of the menu, the Artichoke takes center stage with its innovative preparation. Hailing from the Mediterranean, each tender petal of this vegetable is delicately confited with aromatic herbs before being expertly deep-fried to perfection, resulting in an edible work of art. Resting atop parsnip puree and adorned with crispy artichoke, Spanish Iberico ham, Manchego cheese, and a luscious cured egg yolk, every bite unveils a delightful interplay of textures and umami richness. Other tantalizing additions to the appetizer lineup include the irresistible Spanner Crab Croquettes, served with addictively creamy saffron aioli and vibrant bell pepper salsa.
Venturing into the Pasta & Rice offerings, a culinary gem emerges from Executive Chef Pedro Samper’s culinary journey in Valencia—the Spanish Paella. At its heart lies a sumptuous seafood stock infusing aged Spanish bomba rice—the esteemed “king of paella rices”—with unparalleled depth and flavor. Crowned with two magnificent scarlet red wild-caught Spanish prawns, prized for their exceptional quality and sashimi-grade freshness, this dish is a true testament to culinary excellence. Served nearly rare to preserve their succulent texture and buttery sweetness, these prawns add a luxurious touch to an already exquisite creation. Equally enchanting is the King Crab Spaghetti, featuring Marine Stewardship Council certified king crab delicately paired with cherry tomatoes, lemon zest, garlic, red chili, and parsley, resulting in a harmonious symphony of delicate flavors that elevate the natural sweetness of the crab to new heights.
At the pulsating core of our culinary realm lies the Josper oven and grill, where a distinguished assortment of premium cuts and seafood awaits in our Grill section. Each dish undergoes meticulous preparation over charcoal flames, imparting a distinctive smoky essence that transcends the ordinary dining experience. Among our latest offerings stands the Porterhouse, a culinary masterpiece inspired by the revered Basque grilling tradition. This extraordinary cut, weighing in at a generous 1 kg, harmonizes the tender, buttery filet mignon with the robust, flavorful New York strip, expertly grilled to perfection. It promises a communal dining spectacle that gratifies even the most discerning palate.
Remaining an indispensable fixture on our menu are the beloved Lamb Chops, revered for their impeccable sear achieved at scorching temperatures, resulting in a succulent interior ensconced within a flawlessly caramelized crust. Sourced from free-range, grass-fed New Zealand lamb, celebrated for its tender consistency and nuanced flavor profile, each chop undergoes a loving marinade of Japanese miso and aji panca—a mild, fruity Peruvian chili pepper—yielding an irresistible explosion of taste sensations.
At Mosella, desserts receive the same meticulous care and attention as every other aspect of the culinary journey, thanks to the expertise of Executive Pastry Chef Eunice Low, ensuring that each sweet creation is nothing short of extraordinary. Each dessert is presented with a touch of theatrical flair, exemplified by the Cacao—an opulent masterpiece featuring a velvety 70% Guanaja dark chocolate mousse paired with a tantalizing blood orange waffle. Served on a sizzling pan and flambeed with Cointreau tableside, this dessert promises a delightful sensory spectacle that captivates both the eyes and the taste buds.
Another standout is The Mangosteen, an inventive entremet inspired by its eponymous fruit. Encased within a decadent 55% chocolate shell chosen to complement the delicate essence of mangosteen, guests will uncover a delightful surprise—a harmonious blend of sweet and tangy mangosteen and lychee compote, enhanced by mangosteen cremeux and almond financier.
A perennial favorite paying homage to Chef Pedro’s hometown of San Sebastian, the Burnt Basque Cheesecake remains a cherished fixture on the menu. Mosella’s rendition of this classic dessert is airy and ethereal, akin to a souffle, with a subtle cream cheese flavor. Enjoyed alongside a luscious caramelized apple compote and house-made vanilla ice cream, it promises complete dessert satisfaction.
Mosella, derived from the word ‘morsel’, offers a vibrant culinary experience that celebrates the delight of communal dining in a truly unique setting. Serving as a lively backdrop for convivial gatherings and special occasions throughout the day and into the evening, Mosella embodies the lively Mediterranean tradition of uniting people through delectable cuisine and spirited conversation.
As guests step into Mosella, they’re greeted by an atmosphere of refined charm, adorned with striking hues of burnt orange and jewel-toned greens, harmonized by the intricate patterns of white-green marble floor tiles. Dominating the triple-height space is a captivating mirrored column embellished with shimmering mosaic tiles, while the warmth of timber-clad walls and ceilings envelops the area. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows bathe the room in natural light, offering enchanting views of the lush green surroundings. At the heart of the action lies the open kitchen, where skilled chefs expertly craft dishes over the charcoal-fired Josper grill, while a bustling theatre bar and live culinary counters add to the immersive dining experience.
In addition to the tempting à la carte menu, guests can indulge in the three-course set lunch menu ($48++ per person) and three-course dinner menu ($88++ per person), perfect for solo diners or companions alike. Lunch offerings include vibrant Mediterranean delights like Burrata & Heirloom Tomatoes, accompanied by arugula, fennel compote, and basil oil, while mains feature options such as perfectly pan-seared Barramundi or melt-in-the-mouth Beef Tenderloin served with truffle potato mousseline, heirloom baby carrots, and thyme jus, alongside the Aglio E Olio Mushroom Spaghetti. Sweet cravings are satisfied with a taste of the signature Burnt Basque Cheesecake. Dinner brings a wider array of options, including favorites like Hokkaido Scallop Carpaccio and Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio for starters, followed by indulgent mains such as Beef Tenderloin and Cochinillo Asado.
An ever-evolving wine menu enhances the dining experience, featuring meticulously curated selections from renowned regions and passionate growers. The cocktail program further elevates the experience with innovative twists on classic favorites. Enjoy concoctions like the Forget Me Not, a tantalizing blend of rum, yuja tea, lemon, honey, and sparkling water, or the refreshing A Tom Collins Variation, crafted with Jaisalmer Indian craft gin, a splash of limoncello, and fresh mint. Non-alcoholic options include the No Paloma and Passionfruit ‘Martini’, ensuring there’s something delightful for every palate to savor.
Mosella welcomes guests daily, offering an international buffet breakfast followed by modern Mediterranean cuisine for lunch and dinner, and now, an unforgettable Saturday Brunch. From tempting crudo to premium cuts expertly seasoned and finished over charcoal fire, Mosella invites you to savor the bold flavors of the Mediterranean at every turn.
