Rejoice because it’s that time of the year again! The Singapore Food Festival 2012 (SFF2012) will be taking place from 13 to 22 July. Do you know that the SFF was first launched in 1994? This is the 19th SFF! Each year, a unique theme is identified to showcase our diverse food culture and heritage in enriching and fun programs. This year’s theme revolves around SEAFOOD because Singapore’s love for seafood can be traced as far back as the 14th century, when it was originally known as Temasek, or ‘Sea Town’ in Javanese. This penchant for seafood has since enabled our ethnic communities to develop unique culinary and preparation styles and over the years, turned cooking and enjoying seafood into an art. In this span of 10 days, people from all walks of life are invited to immerse in our wonderful Singapore food culture as well as savour a diverse range of seafood enjoyed in Singapore.

I was privileged to be invited to attend the Singapore Food Festival 2012 Media Conference at Resorts World Convention Centre last week. It was truly an eye opening experience for me.
There was a Giant Garoupa cooking demonstration by Chef Eric, together with 2nd Kitchen’s Chef Hong.
Chef Eric showing us the different parts of the Giant Garoupa and claimed that the throat and lips are the best! I totally agree about the latter!
Here’s me, Maureen and Karen with Hide Yamamoto’s Executive Chef Sho Naganuma!
I’m planning to visit the Singapore Food Festival Village @ Marina Bay! Hope to see you guys around! 😀
Thank you Word of Mouth Communications for the invitation.
