Singapore Takeout heads to Dubai

The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has recently announced that Dubai has been chosen as one of nine global cities to host Singapore Takeout – an innovative pop-up restaurant that is set to cross the globe to bring a taste of Singapore to the world.

 

Singapore Takeout is part of a series of events under the Singapore International Culinary Exchange or SPICE, to showcase the depth and dynamism of Singapore cuisine and showcases Singapore as a centre for culinary excellence internationally.

 

Singapore Takeout is expected to present live culinary exhibitions by celebrity chefs in nine key gourmand cities including Hong Kong, Shanghai, Moscow, London, Paris, New York, Sydney, Delhi and Dubai.

 

Area director, STB – Middle East and Africa, Jason Ong commented: “Dubai was chosen as a location for the Singapore Takeout as it is recognised as a forerunner in the international culinary scene, with UAE residents eager to explore new food experiences.

 

“We look forward to bringing a taste of innovative Singapore cuisine to the UAE and creating menus that blend the rich multi-cultural heritage of the two countries into a novel food experience.”

 

Ong continued: “The SPICE initiatives will underscore Singapore’s reputation as an authentic yet inventive dining hub, combining our rich culinary history, multiculturalism and innovation in gastronomy.”

 

Alongside Singapore Takeout, talented chefs from the around the world will be invited to take part in the Global Chef Exchange, a culinary immersion programme where they will be introduced to the local spices, smells and sights of Singapore cooking through workshops and culinary demonstrations by Singapore’s top chefs.

 

The Global Chef Exchange encourages visiting chefs to innovate on their own recipes to incorporate influences from their immersion programme and go on to include this Singapore-inspired cuisine in their home cities.
