Gelato Messina's Alessandro Palumbo reads when he travels
The Straits Times
|June 22, 2025
Who: Mr Alessandro Palumbo, 28, is the international operations manager of Gelato Messina Singapore. He is "passionate about great food, travel, culture, and always chasing a good story, whether it is on a page or a plate".
The family-owned Australian brand opened its outlet in Club Street in May to long queues. The outlet offers flavours exclusive to Singapore such as Kaya Toast and Tau Huay. Mr Palumbo is the nephew of Gelato Messina's founder Nick Palumbo.
"I am reading Atomic Habits (2018) by James Clear. This was a thoughtful gift from my partner, intended to help me build structure and offer practical techniques for being productive, even during downtime. It is clear and inspiring, without being overwhelming."
I am a huge fan of stand-up comedy.
