Marina Bay Sands’ hallmark food and wine extravaganza, Epicurean Market, is back for its sixth edition from 13 December across a three-day affair – just in time for the holiday season too! Don’t miss out on three days of culinary revelry, including the exclusive Friday dinners and soiree, and ever-popular food and wine show. Here’s why you should get your tickets now.
13 Dec: Exclusive Celebrity Chef Dinners
Opening day sees an exclusive one-night-only series of exclusive menus, dinners, and cocktail soiree presented by a stellar cast of celebrity chefs as well as wine and spirits experts. Celebrated names that will be participating include local celebrity chef Justin Quek and Wolfgang Puck.
Puck, whose name you’ll recognise from CUT and Spago, will be personally participating for the first time with a special ‘Back to my Roots’ dinner at CUT, paying homage to his Austrian roots. “I have heard many wonderful things about Epicurean Market, and am excited to finally be part of this massive food celebration. I look forward to welcoming everyone to my restaurants, and interacting with all the food lovers at this year’s Epicurean Market.”
There are also experiences like a hands-on Beef Wellington masterclass at Bread Street Kitchen, a four-course wine pairing (S$168++) at LAVO, the first-ever four-course sake dinner at KOMA, and a kick-off party at Yardbird Southern Table & Bar with 1-for-1 cocktails, snacks, and live music from 5pm to 8pm.
Love bubbly? Check out db Bistro‘s Premium Cuvee Wine Dinner (Hokkaido Uni Tartine, anyone?) combined with a flight of premium Champagne. Similarly, JustIN Flavours of Asia by Justin Quek will see a highly-affordable Franco-Asian spread with dishes like Sambal King Prawn Capellini and Salted Gula Java Ice Cream.
14 & 15 Dec: Gourmet Marketplace & Free Masterclasses
That’s right: sample more than 60 signature bites and tipples from over 50 booths, including some of Marina Bay Sands’ newest and upcoming restaurants. Think the famed Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer from New York, modern Japanese paradise KOMA, as well as the European-inspired patisserie Origin + Bloom. Are you an avid homecook? Pick some useful tips from complimentary entry to 12 masterclasses led by the aforementioned celebrity chefs and more. Plus, Chef Tetsuya Wakuda of Waku Ghin will be showcasing his exquisite desserts at the Waku Ghin Patisserie Platine booth.
And there’s even more good news: for the first time, Epicurean Market will boast a world-class bar helmed by leading bartenders from 12 bars across Marina Bay Sands’ signature restaurants, including the highly-anticipated Mott 32 from Hong Kong. This is your chance to preview signature cocktails before it opens in early 2020. You can also pick up some gourmet produce and holiday treats for your Christmas party from the festive market.
Got little ones? Make it a family affair at the kids’ activity corner, which includes a bouncy castle and a photo booth with Santa.
