First, Savour Gourmet.
Then, Savour Wine.
Now, Savour Christmas.
Where you see the white peaks of meringue – yes, tented tops – next to MBS Expo, are a dozen “stalls” helmed by 12 culinary creatives. Who serve up three dream dishes each. Translation: SUPERADRIANME.com’s comrades J and J and S had 36 plates to tackle.
Coffee pork, truffle abalone, vs kelong mussels and duck popiah, wagyu up your bun fences quail on barley risotto, sticky date pudding dukes it out with donut softie, crab BLT sticks it to the Sicilian almond, while the caramelised apple scampi battles beer and treacle bacon, and it all ends in a Spanish flan. And that’s only a third of the 36.
Under the main tent, the tallest live Christmas tree, at 6.5 m, fresh from Oregon. And the best pork and ham you’ll eat, bar none. Iberico. Plus Hokkaido Lavender ice-cream, with a touch of gold. Cheese platters, wines and waters and pure fresh fruit juices, cold-pressed for you. Organic veg, Japanese fruit and vegetable, it’s all there for your bagging.
Anchor tenant is Jason’s, those fine foods supermarket people, all decked-out in festive goodies. Buy yours now, there, because your entry wrist-band gets you a discount. Until Sunday 20 November. Culinary creations from $6 to $12.
MRT is Bayfront. Or follow your nose.
