Some must not miss brands:

Yew Kee (友記), a heritage brand established in 1961, is putting a spin on tradition through a collaboration with PastaGo. Combining the tender meat and nostalgic tastes of braised duck and exciting new flavours from
Contemporary Pasta, the following menu unifies the best of both worlds and will be launched exclusively for the Singapore Food Festival.

With a love for local produce, Kausmo and Ah Hua Kelong have come together to create synergy in celebrating thoughtfulness. Kausmo is a dining experience that aims to raise awareness about aesthetically-filtered produce, show case edibles that can be grown in our land, and inspire guests to be more thoughtful in the ways they consume. At the core of Ah Hua Kelong is respect for old-school farming traditions to rear high quality seafood. This includes sticking to more expensive and laborious methods like using only live bait as feed, allowing fish to grow into size naturally without the use of hormones or chemicals. Utilising seafood farmed locally is aligned with Kausmo’s ethos of thoughtful produce sourcing and reduces food miles. Utilising Ah Hua Kelong’s produce, Kausmo’s creations have a theme of umami and refreshing flavours. Various condiments and climate-appropriate edibles featured in their creations are also sourced from other local businesses & vegetable farms.

Ji Xiang Confectionery is the largest producer of Ang Ku Kuehs in Singapore. Founded in 1988 and still practicing their craft by hand, each kueh is packed with generous and flavourful fillings surrounded by a soft chewy skin, which sees thousands of customers queueing up daily to purchase them.
