Giuliano specialises in authentic Italian cuisine and draws his inspiration from his travels to create flavours that are classic yet innovative. His attention to details is meticulous every step of the way and over the years he has developed his own standard of cuisine with a deep commitment to hospitality.

Born in Brescia, Italy, Giuliano discovered his love for food at a young age after being inspired by his mother. Having spent most of his time with her, he was taught to appreciate the hard work that goes into preparing a meal, watching her carefully craft recipes and he quickly learnt the importance of local and fresh produce. 

He began his career at the age of 16 as a part-timer in Park Hotel Ca’ No, Brescia and continued his culinary journey to La Casa in Bedizzole, a Michelin star restaurant, in 1996. His illustrious career took off when he was selected as the Executive Chef and Operations Manager for Garibaldi Kuala Lumpur, a two-outlet concept Italian restaurant from Singapore awarded as a one-star Michelin fine dining restaurant and a social house bar.

During his time at Garibaldi Kuala Lumpur, Giuliano was responsible for pre-opening the restaurant, including recruiting and training the culinary team. He played a pivotal role in establishing a benchmark so as it was recognised as the Best Italian Fine Dining Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur by TimeOut KL. 

With over 20 years of professional experience in key international establishments, prestigious five-star hotels and free-standing restaurants in South East Asia, Middle East and Europe, Giuliano has melded his interest in global culture with his love for the culinary arts and often marries classic dishes with seasonal ingredients, his signature, however, is combining innovative contemporary techniques with modern interpretations.

Some of his past experiences include Shangri-La Hotel Singapore, Ocha & Bella in Morrissey Hotel Jakarta, Shangri-la Hotel Manila, Pullman Hotel Bali, Hotel Muse Bangkok and Montgomerie Golf Club Dubai where he hosted Chaîne des Rôtisseurs as part of the property’s gastronomic journey.

A man on a mission, Giuliano has received notable accolades and recognitions for his culinary expertise such as Thailand’s Best Restaurant 2020 for Medici Kitchen & Bar by Thailand Tatler and he was also featured on Iron Chef Thailand. 

“We are thrilled to welcome Chef Giuliano Berta to The Danna Langkawi family. With his vast repertoire of classical cuisine, we look forward to providing our guests with an innovative and elegant gastronomic journey at our resort. With a flair for Italian and European specialties, Giuliano is a epicurean mastermind who is set to bring a fresh level of creativity to the culinary landscape in Langkawi,” said Karan Singh, General Manager.

This new flavour combines the creamy taste of peanuts with the tangy, refreshing elements of strawberries, reminiscent of the comfort food that most of us grew up with - peanut butter and jelly also known as PB&J sandwiches.

In addition to their already wide range of flavours, and the new Nutty Berries, Merry Ice Cream will also bring back two seasonal favourites. 

“We want to keep on creating more unique ice cream flavours that are beloved and captivating to Malaysian taste buds. We hope that our Nutty Berries flavour brings back early childhood memories of a much-beloved staple, the PB&J sandwich. After all, dessert isn't just for after-dinner but a sweet treat to be enjoyed all day and night,” said Stanilaus Choo Wei En, Founder of Merry Ice Cream.

The first is Peppermint Mocha, which combines the aroma of a Malaysian favourite- Ipoh white coffee - that awakens the senses,  with a refreshing minty menthol flavour, and a touch of chocolate. The second flavour - IronLady Tea (Tie Guan Yin) ice cream, brings about a natural tea fragrance extracted from tea leaves imported from An Xi, Fujian in China for the best possible taste. 

 

Local Home-churned Ice Cream For Your Inner Child

 

Beginning as a café in Penang in 2016, Merry Ice Cream has always aimed to cater to diverse Malaysian taste buds with bold flavour combinations. With flagship bestsellers like Gula Melaka and Salted Egg Oreo, Merry Ice Cream’s mission is to create joyful moments for the kid in every Malaysian, taking them back to simpler times when ice cream was the answer to all their problems in life.
