13 gastronomic events islandwide for this year’s S’pore Food Festival
SINGAPORE — The annual Singapore Food Festival is back and bigger than ever, in time for the nation’s Golden Jubilee celebrations.
From now until Aug 2, the festival will host 13 events islandwide. Foodies can expect modern takes on local dishes, while traditional favourites will have their place, too.
This year’s Hawker Spotlight is on Old Airport Road Food Centre. This food centre, built in 1973, got its name from Singapore’s first purpose-built civil airport at Kallang.
Over the years, Old Airport Road Food Centre has garnered a loyal following for its many stalls; it has more than 150 now.
As part of the SG50 celebrations, hawkers will offer special treats and promotions during the festival.
For instance, one of the stalls, Just Juice It, has concocted a sour plum-and-lime drink for SG50.
