The Singapore Food Festival (SFF) is making its annual return once again until 29 July 2018, with a sumptuous medley of over 20 gastronomic experiences featuring traditional and contemporary flavours of Singapore. In conjunction with the SFF’s 25th anniversary, there will be a series of culinary offerings that are charmingly whimsical, inventive, and yet familiar, as the festival continues to stay true to its roots by shining the spotlight on authentic local flavours and culinary talents taking centre stage during this period.
Ms Ranita Sundramoorthy, Director of Retail and Dining, Singapore Tourism Board (STB), said: “It has been an amazing 25-year journey for the Singapore Food Festival. Over the years, the SFF has cemented its place as the marquee event on our local food calendar as it welcomes local and foreign visitors hungry for a taste of Singapore. This event is a celebration of our multi-cultural heritage as it is the only event in Singapore dedicated to showcasing local fare. By distilling the essence of what it truly means to be Singaporean, we believe the SFF will continue to attract visitors with its authentic, engaging and compelling culinary experiences each year.”
Themed “Savour Singapore in Every Bite”, the festival not only emphasises familiar Singaporean flavours and dishes. With partner events held across three weekends, the SFF also aims to present Singapore’s rich culture and history through creative offerings such as craft workshops, cooking demos, and theatrical experiences.
Savouring the SFF and its events through multi-faceted pillars
Guiding visitors through SFF this year are four pillars that exemplify the wide-ranging events which make up the festival.
-The Modernity pillar highlights Singaporeans shaking up the food scene with their inventive take on local favourites.
-The Culture pillar examines Singapore’s local dining culture and habits.
-The Art pillar honours home-grown culinary craftsmen and their interpretations of art.
-Under the Tradition pillar, our local heritage is rediscovered through time-honoured cooking methods and ingredients.
These four pillars broadly represent the different facets of Singapore – Modern, Cultural, Artistic and Traditional – which visitors can discover through the common medium of food, as well as through the various dining events, workshops and activities which SFF offers. Further details of each SFF event can be found in the Annex.
