This year’s chef line up includes: Julien Royer (JAAN), Kyung Soo Moon (Mikuni), Bruno Menard (La Cantine), Emmanuel Stroobant (St Pierre), Ivan Brehm (Bacchanalia) and Daniel Sia (The Disgruntled Chef) to name a few of the Singapore based chefs.

If you’re planning to attend next week, here’s our Sassy Mama Survival Guide so you can get the most out of this fun foodie festival!

  • Kids – there’s no real kiddie focus to Savour (save for food glorious food of course!) so it’s probably best to leave the little ones at home.
  • If you’re going for lunch bring a sun umbrella or hat, plus wear loads of sunscreen as it gets pretty hot during the day and you need your stamina when you’re food tasting such fine fare.
  • Get your brochure and mark your favourites – there is so much on offer you wouldn’t want to fill up on waffles and whatnot when you had your heart set on seared foiegras (the waffles you can take home for the kids).
  • There’s more than meets the eye – check out the schedule at www.savour.sg for free cooking demos, celebrity master chef sessions, and wine workshops (at set times).
  • Grab your credit at the booth (tickets come with a preload of $30 but the dishes on offer are from $6 to $18 so you’ll need to buy extra credit).
  • If the sun gets the better of you head to one of our favourite stops, The Gourmet Market – there’s air con plus plenty of free wine and cheese samples on offer (how we wish this was a regular fixture in our supermarkets!). Look out for the massive Japanese seafood section with products and chefs flown in from Tokyo’s Tsukiji Market, plus live fish filleting too.
  • There’s a change of venue from last year so don’t go there on autopilot – head instead to The Promontory @ Marina Bay. The lights will be a-twinkling rather romantically too with the  ‘i Light Marina Bay 2014’ for dinner attendees.
  • For those that work in the CBD swap your desk lunch for a Michelin starred bite – there will be free quarter hourly lunch time pick-up services by Volvo (from the 6th) at the former OUB Centre, 1 Raffles Place and Swissotel The Stamford, 2 Stamford Road.

See you there, mamas!
