Even though every day feels like a food festival in Singapore, July will boast even more sizzling, sautéing and steaming than usual with the annual Singapore Food Festival kicking off on 4 July. Foodies across the island (we have one or two of those, right?) will be able to satisfy their need to feed by taking part in any these events:

Opening Celebration
4-6 Jul. Lau Pa Sat, 18 Raffles Quay.
The Lau Pa Sat market has been moved, torn down and rebuilt more times than there are ingredients in a good nasi lemak. Now, it’s the largest Victorian filigree cast-iron structure in South-East Asia and will serve as the home of the Festival’s opening ceremonies, which will focus on the hawker scene of the ’50s and ’60s.

Heritage Food Trails
12-13 Jul. Chinatown, Little India, Joo Chiat & Kampong Glam.
Make like Hansel and Gretel and follow a food trail of dumplings and curries through four of Singapore’s main ethnic enclaves.

Uniquely Singapore Seafood Event
18-20 Jul. Robertson Walk.
What would a food festival on an island be without boatloads of seafood? Here’s your chance to indulge by the shore while enjoying all the chilli and black pepper crab you can handle.

The Great Sentosa BBQ
26-27 Jul. Siloso Beach, Sentosa.
It might be the closing event of the festival, but things should just start heating up as you choose your own marinated meats and grill them yourself. Live music will get you shaking your booty, which might – just might – be a little bigger after a month of munching.
