Singapore has a rich food culture. Read my interview Talking Tiger in The Kitchen with Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan, Family, Food and Singapore if you need convincing.
The Singapore Tourist Board decided to share the city-state culinary delights with the world with Singapore Takeout which brings container full of Singaporean Eats to 9 cities around the world.
The concept in a nutshell:
"Housed in a custom-fabricated shipping container that unfolds into a working kitchen, Singapore Takeout unites Singapore’s top chefs with culinary stars from around the world. Craving for traditional dishes? Or keen on sampling modern cuisine? This little pop-up is serving up all kinds of culinary goodness that will leave you craving for more.
Each city will host a 3-day long feast that imports the flavours of Singapore."
WenLih Soh shares what was on the menu for London Kickoff in Lunch by Chefs Janice Wong and Peter Gordon at #SGTakeout London (June 22).
Next stop is Paris (30 Jun – 2 Jul 2011) with Chef André Chiang (Restaurant André).
I will have to wait until September (16-18) to have a chance to sample their treats in New York.
Between Paris and New York the traveling kitchen stops in Moscow (July 15 – 17 2011) with Chef Ryan Clift (Tippling Club) and Chef Daniel Sia (The Disgruntled Chef) manning the stoves.
