Singapore Food Festival 2010 – Chinese Dialect Food in Singapore

Back to Singapore, Singapore Food Festival is coming soon. This year, the theme of the event is Chinese Dialect specialty dishes in Singapore.

In Singapore, the Chinese are grouped according to their respective ancestral groups – who made their way to Singapore from different parts of China. You can find the different communities like Cantonese, Hokkien, Teochew, Hainanse and Hakka. All the communities have different language, cultural traditions and most importantly cuisine. You can find their own specialty dishes according to their community, for instance, Hainanese pork chop and Hainanese chicken rice as Hainanese cuisine; mee sua and braised kong bak pau as hokkien cuisine; braised duck as Teochew cuisine; and abocus seeds as Hakka cuisine.

From 16 July onwards, there are several major events which you shouldn’t miss;
