Details of this event are still marinating, but feel free to save the dates for the first-evah Singapore Restaurant Month from July 1 to August 10.
Organized by the Restaurant Association of Singapore, and part of this year’s Singapore Food Festival, the project gathers 50 restaurants that will serve 50 newly created dishes using local produce. The restaurants span traditional, modern, Asian and western concepts.
They also include heritage establishments — such as Prima Tower, Red Star, Fatty Weng and Islamic Restaurant — that will take showcase their Restaurant Month dishes for a limited period from Jul 17 to Aug 2 only.
“We hope to spread awareness about the quality of local produce on both industry and consumer levels, enticing F&B operators to consider local produce when it comes to ingredients procurement,” said Tung Lok Group’s Andrew Tjioe in a statement.
Timbre Group, for example, will be serving a laksa-marinated crispy barramundi sourced from local barramundi farm Khülbarra.
“At RAS, one of our key visions is to encourage culinary creativity and this festival is a great avenue for chefs add a good dose of imagination to their dishes! We are happy to have these restaurants on board and thank our partners — AVA, Singapore Tourism Board and UnionPay — for their support,” adds Tjioe.
Singapore Restaurant Month runs fro Jul 1-Aug 10. For details go to www.singaporerestaurantmonth.com.
