SFF Announces First Two Signature Events of the 2024 Festival Line-Up

Singapore Food Festival (SFF) is back this October and will feature a host of unforgettable culinary experiences. Having undergone a makeover, SFF has been reimagined with bespoke multi-genre events, ranging from the large-scale to the boutique, celebrating the role of dining in Singapore’s culture through food and entertainment.

From 1 to 31 October 2024, the culinary capital of Singapore will come alive with the debut of a completely refreshed festival format, so say goodbye to the usual festival village. Instead, the focus is on curating immersive experiences set in iconic locations and uniquely Singaporean offerings that cater to visitors of all ages, with each event designed to provide a memorable dining experience.

SFF Announces First Two Signature Events
Signature Events are highlights on SFF 2024’s events calendar and are large-scale, theatrical spectaculars held at some of Singapore’s most iconic venues. The SFF Signature Events feature renowned guest chefs and offer immersive and grand culinary experiences.

Future Food, 10 October 2024, Marquee
Be transported to a world of infinite possibilities as we explore Future Food. Experience a fusion of culinary mastery, mixology, gastronomy and world-class entertainment. Adventurers will be whisked away by a whirlwind of vibrant colours, pulsating soundscapes, and a dazzling display of lights on this immersive theatrical experience that engages all the senses.

The Long Table, 17-18 October 2024, CHIJMES Hall
Set in the historic chapel hall of CHIJMES, The Long Table invites you to a dreamy celebration of enchantment and elegance. Take your place at our beautifully adorned long table and be transported to a different world, where graceful ballerinas twirl amidst whimsical decor as you relish a four-course culinary journey (lunch or dinner) prepared by some of Singapore’s top heritage and contemporary chefs. With enchanting live singers, projections, and life-sized props adding to the magic, The Long Table promises an unforgettable experience, where every detail delights the senses.

A Festival of Old and New
This year’s festival theme is A Celebration of Old and New, and is built around three core pillars —Heritage, Contemporary, and Innovation — which celebrates the full spectrum of Singapore’s culinary history. From time-honoured traditions to the latest food trends, SFF 2024 celebrates Singapore’s rich culinary heritage and offers a culinary journey spanning generations.

“The reimagined Singapore Food Festival 2024 presents an opportunity to captivate global food enthusiasts with an immersive showcase of Singapore’s dynamic F&B scene. This year, with a renewed and deliberate emphasis on curating unparalleled experiences, the Festival aims to pay homage to our diverse culinary tapestry while embracing and celebrating continued innovation championed by our local talents,” said Singapore Tourism Board’s Director of Retail & Dining, Guo Teyi.

Leading this transformation is Blake Harris Entertainment (BHE), a global events agency experienced in developing highly acclaimed, immersive experiences.

Said BHE founder and Singapore Food Festival 2024’s Festival Director, Blake Harris: “We’ve been creating exceptional experiences and entertainment here in Singapore for some time now, and we’re delighted to partner with Singapore Tourism Board to further strengthen and reinforce Singapore Food Festival as a globally recognised event that showcases the best local chefs, restaurants and flavours.

Food is life in Singapore and without a doubt a favourite pastime for many. We are excited to create something very special to make dining even more of an experience for local foodies and international visitors, who are spoilt for choice with Singapore’s multitude of gastronomic options. We look forward to embarking on this journey with STB to create unforgettable moments starting in 2024.”

Event Formats
In addition to the Signature Events, SFF 2024 will offer other event formats including Unique Events and Pop-Up Events.

Unique Events: These one-of-a-kind events will take place in some of Singapore’s top restaurants and bars, offering exclusive, bespoke and fully immersive culinary experiences supported by Blake Harris Entertainment’s creative team.

Savor Restaurant Unveils a Special Merdeka Menu: A Celebration of Malaysian Flavors in Plant-Based Delights

Merdeka Menu

Kuala Lumpur, 8th August 2024 – Savor, the renowned plant-based restaurant in Mont Kiara, Hartamas that has quickly become a favorite among food enthusiasts, celebrities, and key opinion leaders, is proud to announce the launch of its Merdeka Menu in honor of Malaysia’s Independence Day. This limited-time menu offers a unique twist on traditional Malaysian dishes, all made entirely plant-based, showcasing the vibrant flavors and rich culinary heritage of the nation.

A Culinary Tribute to Malaysia: The Merdeka Menu

Savor’s Merdeka Menu is a thoughtfully curated selection of dishes that pay homage to beloved Malaysian flavors while embracing the restaurant’s commitment to plant-based cuisine. Highlights include:

  • Merdeka Lemak: Celebrate bold flavors with our Merdeka Lemak, featuring fragrant blue rice, juicy satay lilit, homemade sambal, savory lion’s mane rempah, and fresh paku pakis. This dish is a delightful fusion of traditional elements and innovative plant-based ingredients.
  • Takano d’Sumandak: Meaning “A Young Lady’s Rice,” this dish includes her favorite Sabah traditional dishes—Tuhau Sambal (wild ginger), spicy-sweet Bambangan (wild mango), Bosou Sayur (preserved vegetables), fresh Pucuk Manis with soy chips, and sweet-savory Mushroom Stems. Each bite offers a taste of Sabah’s rich culinary heritage.
  • Sehati Satay: This dish features three perfectly grilled skewers of seasoned plant-based meat wrapped around lemongrass sticks, served alongside fresh cucumber slices, ketupat rice cakes, and a side of rich satay peanut sauce. A true Malaysian classic, reimagined for everyone to enjoy.
  • Banana Frits with Coconut Ice Cream: End your meal on a sweet note with crispy banana Abu fritters served with a scoop of creamy coconut ice cream, creating a delightful fusion of warm and cool, sweet and tropical sensations.

A Year of Success and Culinary Innovation

Over the past year, Savor has rapidly gained popularity, attracting a diverse clientele that includes well-known KOLs, politicians, and celebrities. The restaurant’s commitment to innovation has been evident in its seasonal menus, such as the recent Harvest Festival menu, which presented traditional Sabah dishes in a plant-based format. The ingredients for this menu were flown in especially from Sabah, allowing patrons in Kuala Lumpur to experience the authentic flavors of the region.

Savor’s ability to create menus that resonate with its audience has been a key factor in its success. From the Chinese New Year menu to the Christmas and Valentine’s Day offerings, Savor consistently introduces new dishes that offer unique culinary experiences.

“Our goal at Savor is to challenge the perception that plant-based food is only for vegans. We believe that anyone, regardless of their dietary preferences, can enjoy and appreciate the rich flavors and creativity that go into our dishes,” said David Ng, Co-founder of Savor. “Our seasonal menus are designed to introduce people to new foods and allow them to experience cuisine like never before. With the Merdeka Menu, we’re excited to bring the essence of Malaysia’s culinary heritage to life in a way that’s both delicious and healthy.”

Operation Hours

Sundays to Thursdays 10.00 am to 9:30 pm

Fridays 10.00 am to 4.00pm

Closed on Saturday
