Singapore Takeout: Lemongrass infused Laksa dumplings with noodles by Janice Wong

London is to become the first city in the world to host the Singapore Takeout – a mobile pop-up kitchen and restaurant housed within a specially-customised shipping container. The initiative is part of Singapore’s International Culinary Exchange, SPICE, programme launched earlier this year which positions the city as the culinary hub of Asia.

The Singapore Takeout is embarking on a world tour over the next 12 months giving the public an opportunity to experience outdoor dining Singapore-style. Over three days, from June 9th to June 11th, London’s Southbank will come alive with the smells of fine cuisine created by one of Singapore’s leading chefs in conjunction with a local chef from London.

The Takeout will offer an innovative menu created by both chefs and cooking demonstrations will be held for the public, and travel trade partners, using Singapore’s authentic food products as key ingredients. Recipes will also be available showcasing the country’s best food brands and products.

After London, the unique pop-up restaurant will travel on a global roadshow to eight other cities including Delhi, Dubai, Hong Kong, Moscow, New York, Paris, Shanghai and Sydney. These are key cities that have led the way on the international culinary scene and also produced internationally-renowned chefs and restaurateurs.

A total of 10 of Singapore’s world-class chefs are taking part and pairing up with global celebrity chefs to create a mouth-watering array of traditional and modern dishes.
