5 intriguing foodie events to sign up for in Singapore

There’s never a shortage of food-related events happening in this food-obsessed nation. Here are a few in the coming weeks that we like the look of.

UNA Noche

The best way to start the weekend may be at this free-flow dinner affair at lush Spanish restaurant. Beautiful black-and-white heritage building aside, there’s live music and tons of food stations dishing out free-flow tapas, seafood and parilla-grilled meats, as well as the restaurant’s signature paella. There’s also beers and cocktails at $10, sangria at $12 and sherry at $12. Aug 28. $65.

Andsoforth The Karl Experience

The pop-up theatrical dinner troupe is back with more kooky and immersive dinners. This time, the rather surreal story goes like this: in a dystopian future where the planet’s resources are all gone, only one Karl Lagerfeld-esque character can save us from complete obliteration. He digs back to the year 2015 to try and figure out what went wrong. Cue the four-course dinner and audience participation. Every Wed-Sat, through Sep 12. $98-108.

Kilo x Fish & Meat

Cool restaurant and lounge Kilo teams up with Hong Kong’s Maximal Concepts for a pop-up takeover. Manning the kitchen are chefs Manel Valero of Kilo and Russell Doctrove of Maximal Concepts (who used to work at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay). Here, it’s all about seven sharing plates of everything to do with fish and meat. Think pineapple-glazed lamb shoulder, marinated tuna with compressed watermelon and sea urchin with fresh squid ink linguine. After dinner, there’s a party, too. Sep 9-10. $70.

Dolce Vita

This poolside restaurant doesn’t feel like your typical, sterile hotel dining experience. This time, they’ve got two Michelin-starred chef Anthony Genovese in the restaurant dishing out a six-course menu of Italian classics like prawns with lemon and charred leek; calamari with ham spaghetti and cream of sea urchin, as well as tomato pork tortello in spicy meat sauce. Sep 29-Oct 2.

Mind Map of Love

Alpine restaurant Zott’s acts as the backdrop to this improvised love story. While we’re not exactly sure how this pop-up theatrical dinner works, there’s audience participation involved in choosing how the plot unfolds. Plus, it’s an adults-only play, so expect some raunchy twists to happen. Nov 4-7 & 11-18. $160.
