One of the biggest hobbies of Singaporeans is to EAT.

High tea, buffets, or even durians.

You name it, we love it.

While most large-scale events are still put on hold due to current restrictions, we are happy that the inaugural Singapore Food Festival (SFF) is still going to happen!

The best thing is that most of its events would be held virtually, which means that we don’t even have to step out of our houses to enjoy the lineup of events.

Shiok or what?

As a true blue Singaporean, I love food.

But you know what I love more? 

The word ‘Free‘.

Yes, many of these events would be FREE.

As part of the SingapoRediscovers Campaign, the Singapore Food Festival (Virtual Edition) will be held from 21 to 30 August 2020.

To ensure that the lineup is not only educational but also engaging, the event also offers food bundles and ingredient kits for us to cook along with the chefs.

Here are some amazing events that you can take part in!
