Singapore Food Festival is back for its 31st edition this October.
Themed "A Celebration of Old and New", this year's festival boasts a tasty line-up of over 20 gastronomical events that offer a unique blend of heritage, contemporary and innovative themes.
Three signature events for the core of the festival's offerings.
"Future Food" is an immersive event that transports you to a dazzling, futuristic world where you'll get to experience what dishes by top culinary chefs could look like in 20 to 30 years.
"The Long Table" brings together three of Singapore's most celebrated chefs — Damian D'Silva, Marvas Ng, and Cheryl Koh — to curate a four-course menu that elevates tradition with their own signature flair.
And finally, "Food is Art" explores the symbiotic relationship between food and art through gorgeous installations ranging from exquisite chocolate masterpieces to interactive exhibits that reveal how ingredients, techniques, and flavours can inspire all kinds of artistic masterpieces.
In addition, you can look forward to other unique events taking place islandwide such as special dining experiences, barbecue parties, and even pop-up events where you can enjoy bite-sized samples and feast on goodies from food carts.
