Singapore Food Festival
As if the island's buffet line of exotic food isn't enough,
there's the annual Singapore Food Festival (28 March to 30 April
2003). Something to satisfy everyone's craving will be offered by
local as well as international cuisine. Other highlights of the
Singapore Food Festival are food tours, demonstrations and classes
conducted by world-renowned chefs and joint food-oriented promotions
with major hotels and shopping centres. Keep an eye out for them!
Food Tours
Another fun way to explore and discover the variety of cuisine
available in Singapore is to take a food tour. Try the 'Flavours of
New Asia - Singapore' Tour that begins at the Spice Garden (the
original site of the first Botanic Gardens) Following which, you will
get to sample spicy Indian cuisine and Peranakan fare as the tour
brings you to the ethnic areas of Little India and Chinatown. For more
information, check with your hotel concierge or refer the Tours
section.
