TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Travelers visiting Singapore can take part in the Singapore Food Festival (SFF). The 32nd edition of this festival will be held from September 4 to 24, 2025. This year's theme for the festival is "Have You Eaten Yet?" which highlights the love and relationships formed through food.
The festival director and managing director of Blake Harris Entertainment (BHE), Blake Harris, stated that the SFF is more than just a celebration of food; it also pays homage to the deep connections formed through food.
"The 2025 edition will feature over 15 events that celebrate the 'people, stories and creativity behind Singapore’s vibrant culinary scene,'" he said, as quoted from Travel and Leisure Asia.

This festival features three special events that bring together local and international culinary talents. These include Rempapa chef Damian D'Silva; Adriano Zumbo, a world-renowned Australian patissier; and Kenny Chung, the executive chef at InterContinental Singapore.
In addition, there are several notable events, including pop-up activations, culinary tours, and a heritage festival, taking place throughout the city. This also includes partnerships and affiliations with restaurants and bars across the island, offering limited menus and exclusive dining experiences throughout the month. For example, Le Pristine Singapore will present a menu that reinterprets local flavors through a modern European perspective.
