Dressed in a white blouse and reddish-pink skirt, she films him with her iPhone, grinning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"responsive-iframe-base instagram instagram-embed\" title=\"instagram embed\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C0jBX4QyrIO\/embed\/captioned\/?omitscript=true\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer;falseclipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\" loading=\"eager\" data-testid=\"responsiveIframe\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Meanwhile, Valtulina explains the concept of mantecare \u2013 the culinary technique that emulsifies fat and starchy water to create a creamy sauce \u2013 to Jensen Huang, who jokingly confuses the term with Monte Carlo. \u201cMonte Carlo is a computer science method. It\u2019s called Monte Carlo because, you know, by chance,\u201d he says, in reference to the Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">This video is followed by a photo that shows Jensen Huang serving the risotto to Valtulina as Alice Huang watches, a hand over her mouth. On it is stamped the words: <!-- -->\u201cNot<!-- --> everyday you have Jansen (sic) serving you pasta.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">In the next two photos, Jensen Huang is pictured with other family members and diners. The post\u2019s Italian caption, when translated to English, reads: \u201cGreat emotion to have <!-- -->Nvidia CEO<!-- --> Mr Jensen Huang as a guest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Jensen Huang and Alice Huang were later photographed together in June 2024 at an industry party in Taipei. In May 2025, they were seen sitting side by side again at a dinner hosted by Jensen Huang in Taiwan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">News of the affair <a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/world\/jensen-huangs-affair-a-timeline-of-events?ref=inline-article\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"gap-x-04 items-center inline text-primary-60 select-auto\" aria-label=\"link\" target=\"_blank\" data-testid=\"custom-link\"><span class=\"inline font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"typography-test-id\">broke in late October 2026<\/span><\/a>, when The New York Times reported that the former Megaspeed executive had \u201cdeveloped a close relationship\u201d with the Nvidia co-founder.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">It also obtained a photo of the December 2023 meeting at Ristorante Da Valentino, writing that \u201cthe meeting in Singapore was a sign of how <!-- -->Ms Huang\u2019s<!-- --> relationship with Mr Huang goes back further than previously known\u201d. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">According to the <!-- -->article<!-- -->, published on Nov 10, Alice Huang had \u201creason to celebrate\u201d that day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">\u201cBacked by wealthy investors in Shanghai, she had just restructured a company that would soon buy billions of dollars in Nvidia artificial intelligence chips. The US government had barred Chinese companies from buying the advanced chips, but Ms Huang had sidestepped this prohibition by creating a firm, Megaspeed, through a Singaporean shell company,\u201d it said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The Straits Times has reached out to Perla Valtulina and Valentino Valtulina for comment, as well as several former restaurant employees. Ristorante Da Valentino shuttered at the end of 2023 after 18 years of service, citing high rent and manpower shortages as key issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/life\/food\/jensen-huang-met-alice-huang-as-early-as-dec-2023-at-ristorante-da-valentino-in-singapore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SINGAPORE \u2013 Footage showing former Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang in the company of Alice Huang, the alleged Chinese spy with whom he had an&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":99397,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-99396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99396","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=99396"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99396\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/99397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=99396"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=99396"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=99396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
