There’s nothing more Singaporeans care about than food – you can tell from our fixation with mala hotpot, salted egg everything, and many other food trends. We’ll even travel to far-flung corners for famed nasi lemak or brave long queues for Michelin Bib Gourmand hawker fare.
And that’s exactly why we’re eagerly awaiting this year’s Singapore Food Festival. $0.50 hawker dishes, chilli crab ramen, and a novel buah keluak burger – there’ll be a delish range of food to try come 12th July to 28th July 2019.

STREAT is an annual food event that never disappoints, and it’s no different this year with a solid lineup of 12 food stalls dishing up hawker fare and tapas-style bites. Many are big players in Singapore’s F&B scene and you’re bound to recognise a few names, with the likes of Salted & Hung and The Feather Blade.
All dishes are either traditional come with a local twist – our tastebuds are sure to enjoy it all, from Teochew kway chap to rendang steak sandwiches. Prices range from an affordable $4 to $15. The cocktails (from $15) from pop-up bar The Origin Bar are also worth a try – they’re inspired by bustling districts around Singapore, like Orchard Road and Little India.

There’ll also be live performances by local musicians like hauste, Charlie Lim, and Glen Wee.

Fusion food is often hit or miss, but Candlenut x Park Bench Deli’s new burger, the Buah Keluak Burger ($25) is an obvious winner. This hearty dish featuring the earthy black nut is often served with rice, but you can try it with a beef patty and potato bun now. This dish comes with all the works too, including a fried egg.
