Hi Huneybees,
After last year's SAVOUR 2012 (Singapore's largest gourmet food festival), I couldn't stop thinking about the delicious delicacies I tried from all the local restaurants. So, imagine my excitement when I was invited to their sneak preview before CNY!
The latest instalment of this gastronomic extravaganza promises an enhanced experience for its attendees, strengthened by the strong backing of major sponsors, the most significant being SAVOUR 2013’s partnership with NESPRESSO as Presenting Partner and Official Coffee.

“NESPRESSO is proud to present SAVOUR 2013 as we believe that our Grand Cru gourmet coffee and gourmet food go hand in hand. With our shared brand values of seeking the best, our dedication to quality and providing ultimate journeys in gastronomic experiences, we know attendees to SAVOUR will have a fantastic time enjoying the delicious.” --- Irene Latoa, Country Manager for NESPRESSO Singapore
The event will be held at the F1 Pit Building and Paddock grounds from 11 to 14 April 2013 and SAVOUR 2013 will continue to celebrate all things delicious by showcasing over 30 world-renowned chefs and top local talent, more than 60 award-winning dishes, a two-storey Gourmet Market and an amazing array of 300 complimentary master classes, workshops and demonstrations - all in one accessibly-priced ticket.
Let me bring you on a journey and sneak peek on what to expect at SAVOUR 2013.
At the Gourmet Market, there would be many choices of fresh food for you taste and bring home. One of which is JASONS, where we all got to sample the many variety of Cheese. What are some of the ways to eat them and what goes well with them.
 |
| My favourite would be to dip a little Balsamic Vinaigrette on the cheese. Very appetizing! |
One of the highlights would be Chef Moon's (one of the participating Chefs in Savour 2013), serving his intricate canapés from his restaurant - Mikuni.
 |
| Chawanmushi. |
 |
| Fresh sashimi that's served in a tin. |
 |
| Pork wrapped in seaweed. |
Hungry? Yes, I was and still craving for more. I can't wait for April, so that I can check out Chef Moon's booth again!
Also, at Savour 2013, there will be an amazing array of more than 300 complimentary masterclasses which include, “Blend Your Own Wine” at the Wine Theatre. I got to do it first hand and seriously, who knew Merlot and Shiraz can be blended to make your own mix of wine...
For bakers out there, you would be glad to know that there would be something for you to easily bakes your cakes or pastries with the Shake Bake.
All these cakes are baked using the Shake Bake ~
There's also this new innovative machine that was introduced to us. It's called Soda Stream and what it does is letting you have carbonated within seconds in the comfort of your home. Get their healthy syrups and add into the carbonated water, your very own "soft drinks".
 |
| These machines do not require any electricity and it simply works by pumping air into water. |
And last but not least, NESPRESSO will also have their very own tent at the event. You can look forward to Nespresso Coffee Atelier sessions at Savour 2013 as well as coffee mixology masterclasses.
 |
| Nespresso Roma Espresso Martini and Almond Cream are some of the many coffee concoctions that Savour participants will get to enjoy. |
SAVOUR 2013’s quest to bring the best of the world to Singapore and curate only the best experiences for its attendees resonates with its strategic partners. NESPRESSO has long been accompanying prestigious restaurateurs in their pursuit of excellence and, today, it is the coffee of choice in some 700 Michelin-starred restaurants across the world.
I even got to make and bring home my very own Tiramisu dipped in NESPRESSO coffee!
These are just some teasers on what's gonna happen at SAVOUR 2013. Tickets are available via SISTIC with the latest schedules and itineraries available at www.savour.sg. So make a date and be sure to be at the F1 Pit on 11-14 April...
