Calling all foodies: here’s what to expect at the gastronomic festival taking place from August 24 to September 11
Physical food festivals are slowly returning after two years of online events due to the pandemic. Having said that, the Singapore Food Festival 2022 will return from August 24 to September 11 on a much grander scale.
“We are excited to bring SFF back to its usual format, with engaging in-person programming so visitors can fully experience the international palate of our city,” says Teyi Guo, director of retail and dining of Singapore Tourism Board.
Themed ‘Real Foodies Only’, this year’s line-up will feature over 70 different gastronomic experiences, including cooking masterclasses and an extravagant food village. Here are some experiences to look out for.
