Nobu in Singapore: Founder De Niro dishes out plans

When questioned on the timing of the move, De Niro told CNBC anchor Susan Li to ask Australian billionaire James Packer, the executive chairman of Melco Crown Entertainment.


“Not yet but maybe you can ask James Packer. There was a time I spoke to James Packer about doing a Nobu in Macau. In the beginning it was too early, now it becomes more of a place where you can have good food,” he said.


Critically acclaimed actor, director and producer Robert De Niro is one of the co-founders of the Nobu restaurant chain, which offers high-end Japanese food, pioneered by Japanese celebrity chef and restaurateur Nobuyuki Matsushisa.
