Celebrating The Singapore Food Festival in London 2 August – 11 September 2022
Returning for its 29th edition from 24 August to 11 September 2022, the Singapore Food Festival (SFF) celebrates the richness of Singapore’s food culture and the creativity of the country’s culinary talent who are reimagining Singaporean cuisine.
Themed “Real Foodies Only”, this year’s festival welcomes more visitors from around the world and grows Singapore’s global reputation as a foodie paradise as travellers return. The festival will feature diverse experiences and flavours, from food steeped in heritage and tradition to contemporary and innovative creations. Foodies can enjoy a taste of the festival through virtual masterclasses, workshops, heritage tours, special menus at partner restaurants and fringe activities, exclusive SFF food merchandise, as well as an all-new virtual marketplace.
Foodies in the UK can also participate in the SFF action as Singapore Tourism Board has partnered with a number of UK establishments who have created limited edition items or menus as follows:
From 2 August Honest Burgers will introduce its limited-edition burger available across all 43 Honest Burgers sites nationwide. The cereal chicken burger is inspired by Singapore’s Zi Char cuisine – loosely translated as “cook and fry” – a fusion of local dishes cooked to order and eaten communally. A firm favourite on a local Singaporean restaurant Keng Eng Kee’s menu is cereal prawns, which Honest Burgers loved so much they took inspiration for the new burger. As with all Honest Burger’s limited editions, the burger will be paired with an exclusive craft beer; ‘Culinary Concepts 2.0’ is a collaboration between Singaporean brewery Off Day Beer Co. and UK-based brewery Northern Monk and is a refreshing Lemongrass & Lime Kolsch, using motueka and loral hops, along with local ingredients lemongrass and lime zest. The burger and beer are priced at £14 and £6.50 respectively.
From 6 August, Rasa Sayang, located in London’s Chinatown, is delighted to be taking part in the UK edition of the annual Singapore Food Festival, and will offer a Singapore Heritage Menu.
The special menu celebrates dishes Singapore is best known for:
- Singapore Rojak
- Chargrilled Chicken Satay
- Hainanese Chicken Rice
- Singapore Chilli Crab
- Sago Gula Melaka
- Teh Tarik
The set menu will be available from 6 August to 11 September. Minimum of two and priced at £29.95ph. Available for lunch and dinner at Rasa Sayang in London’s iconic Chinatown. Dine-in only.
Meanwhile Old Chang Kee will be serving customers a limited edition Chili Crab Puff, a take on its famous curry puffs (once dubbed ‘the best pastry in London’) at its London stores (In Covent Garden & Fitzrovia ) from 24 August until 11 September and available for delivery nationwide through its website. The Chilli Crab puff will be filled with crab meat and crab sauce.
The UK will be all ‘shiok]’ up for the next six weeks as SFF takes over. Don’t miss out!
The Singapore Food Festival runs in London from 2 August – 11 September, and in Singapore from 24 August until 11 September.
