WSFC-2015-World-Street-Food-Congress

Officially, it's called the WSF Jamboree but think of it as a global eating party with 23 of the world's best street food stalls from 12 cities. All 23 are personally chosen by Kf Seetoh of Makansutra.

World Street Food Congress WSFC 2015 - Come and Eat at Bugis MRT Station, Singapore 8 - 12 Apr 2015

I attended the press conference for the World Street Food Congress WSFC 2015 today. The biennial Congress held from 8 - 12 Apr at the doorstep of Bugis MRT station in Singapore, has dialogue sessions and an awards ceremony, but what caught my attention most is the Jamboree ;-p

World-Street-Food-Congress-WSFC-2015-Singapore

Organised by Makansutra, the Jamboree is just Kf Seetoh's atas term for food fair or makan party lah...


World-Street-Food-Congress-WSFC-2015-Singapore

The venue for the makan party cannot be anymore convenient.

It is right next to the Bugis MRT station. Just step out of the subway station and you are there - go straight into the food stalls and party! ;-D

What are we expecting?

Some familiar and many new taste experiences from far away, all around the globe. Makansutra has done all the hard work, so we can just come and makan (eat) lah.

There are 23 stalls representing some of the best street food from 12 cities around the world. All personally selected by Kf Seetoh.

Here is a sneak preview of some of the goodies ;-p

(Can't reveal all, so you must come lah ;-p ).

World-Street-Food-Congress-WSFC-2015-Singapore

Anticuchos are meat skewers with potatoes from Bolivia, South America.

South America is one of those places I hope to visit, but so far only have the chance to view them on Discovery Channel or in National Geographic magazine.

Thanks to WSFC Jamboree, I have the chance to try Bolivian anticuchos in Singapore.

This Bolivian style kebab is definitely on my Must Try list at the Jamboree.
