New may be better and faster, but old will always be gold. Machines and factories have taken over much of the F&B industry, but there's a remnant of Singaporean restauranteurs that still take pride in the painstaking processes and long hours of crafting traditional eats.

Themed Savour the Past, Taste the Future, it offers a series of events to celebrate our culinary culture, such as the Heritage Town Trail, which highlights Singapore’s Peranakan culture with a walking trail around Joo Chiat, Singapore’s first Heritage Town.
