SAVOUR 2013, presented by NESPRESSO, is Singapore’s largest gourmet festival, back with an all-new line-up to entice fervent foodies.
To be held at the F1 Pit Building & Paddock grounds from 11 to 14 April 2013, attendees can look forward to meeting Michelin-star and world-renowned chefs, along with top local talent, at the 350-seater Gourmet Auditorium. More than 60 award-winning dishes will be presented in pop-up restaurants at the alfresco Gourmet Village, ranging from as low as $6. The extensive array of 300 master classes, workshops and demonstrations is also highly anticipated – all included in an accessibly priced ticket – which provides attendees with a wide variety of itineraries and hands-on involvement.
Tickets are available via SISTIC, with the latest schedules and itineraries available at savour.sg.
Also not to be missed is The Great FIJI Water Race happening on Saturday, 13 April 2013, from 12pm to 4pm, where a winner gets to take home a grand prize of $1000 cash and one year’s supply of FIJI Water. Contest hopefuls are required to complete tasks to earn the most points in the shortest amount of time, documenting their trail through photos and captions on Instagram with the hash tag #FIJIWaterSavour2013. Mini prizes including complimentary cooking demonstrations at ToTT and cupcakes from Cake Over Heels will be awarded to the first 100 participants who complete each task.
