SAVOUR is back, where you can eat your way around the world in a single place. What is special about this year’s SAVOUR is that there is not just one, but three separate and unique events.
The first is SAVOUR Gourmet (which is the event we are most familiar with) and this takes place 12-15 May.
The 2016 SAVOUR Calendar:
SAVOUR Gourmet: 12 – 15 May
SAVOUR Wines: 8 – 11 Sept
SAVOUR Christmas: 17 – 20 Nov
Will you be there? Here are 10 Reasons Why You MUST Visit SAVOUR 2016
Free Tickets
Ticketing to SAVOUR 2016 is complimentary this year!
Isn’t this already a good enough reason? You can just go look-look-see-see, but you probably won’t leave empty-handed, or more correctly said, empty-bellied.
Eat 30 Dishes At A Single Place
There is a reason why SAVOUR is touted as one of the best food festivals in the world.
This is one of the few opportunities where you get to literally savour more than 30 dishes by some of the top restaurants from Singapore – all in one place.
These are some of my favourites that you should try: Siew Yoke Umami Rice from Labyrinth, Angel Hair Lobster Pasta from Team Saveur Art and Iberico Pork Jowl from Team Bar A Thym.
Enjoy Reduced Prices For Signature Dishes
What’s more, these gourmet dish prices have been reduced to two easy prices of $6 and $12.
Cash and credit are also now accepted on the grounds.
Meet Celebrity Chefs
Get up close and personal with your favourite celebrity chefs at hands-on classes, live demonstrations and workshops.
I do know many would want to chat with 3-Star Michelin Star, otherwise known as “The Demon Chef” Alvin Leung from Hong Kong’s Bo Innovation.
So guess who I met?!
Support Homegrown Chefs
SAVOUR will be focusing on HOMEGROWN talent this year, from some of Singapore’s best chefs and restaurants.
The restaurants featured include Artichoke, Buona Terra, CATO, Gattopardo, Labyrinth, Lower East Side, Salt Tapas & Bar, and Saveur Art.
I also spotted Chef Pang Kok Keong from Antionette and couldn’t resist getting one of his famed matcha lava croissant (chilli crab and salted egg croissants also available).
Vote For Your Favourite Chefs
You can also get to be part of the experience by voting for your favourite chef and dishes.
This is part of the DBS Live Your Dream initiative which will pit the featured chefs against each other to vie for the title of Emerging Chef Singapore 2016.
Every transaction at the Gourmet Village restaurants comes with a voting ball so vote wisely.
Join The Gourmet Market
When you are at SAVOUR, you cannot miss the Jasons Gourmet Market.
You can actually sample a selection of products from hundreds of food and drink exhibitors, including wine, fresh produce, seafood and artisanal products.
Some highlights include Iberico pork, Miyazaki wagyu, Hokkaido lavender-flavoured ice cream and a cheese room with over 200 cheeses to sample.
You must must must must get the Lavender Soft Serve.
Learn In The Wine Cellar
Over 70 principal wines from around the world is featured, and you can get to enjoy tastings and learn more about wine from the sommeliers.
Seafood Galore
Wild caught seafood from Alaska, the most diverse Oyster Bar up-to-date, and a bistro which offers an extensive selection of great cooked food such as Creole Crab Cake, Poached Alaska Sockeye Salmon and Alaska Pacific Cod Fish Taco.

Limited to 300 packs per session, you can get a SAVOUR Experience Pack for just $30 Nett.
