bannerhome

Ultimate Hawker Fest 2014 will be back for the third year on 22 November 2014 at Suntec Convention & Exhibition Centre Hall 401 and 402 from 11am to 5pm. More than 20 hawkers will be gathered at Suntec Convention & Exhibition Centre to raise money for the beneficiaries under the care of Touch Community Services.

In the past 2 years, the ultimate factor brought together our hawker heroes to produce version of their hawker dishes using some of the most premium and exceptional ingredients to bolster their dishes. This year together with Maureen (www.misstamchiak.com) and Ian (www.thesilverchef.blogspot.sg), we have handpicked and curated the hawkers for this year's fund raising events for the needy and disadvantaged.

The "Ultimate" element will also be not restricted to using premium or exceptional ingredients. This year the ultimate aspect will include the essence and authenticity of our classic hawker/street food. With the new concept, we present to you three Ultimate Food Zones.

1. “Ultimate Original Recipe” - celebrates the heritage of pioneer generation hawkers through stalls helmed by chefs from the second, third and fourth generations of famous hawkers.

 2.“Ultimate Pursuit of Happiness” - celebrates the enterprising spirit of budding chefs and hawkers by featuring individuals who left their jobs in other sectors to pursue their passion in the hawker industry.

 3. “Ultimate Ingredients” - features hawkers who have added special ingredients to conventional hawker fares to create dishes that are truly a league of its own!

Details of the hawkers and menus can be found at http://www.ultimatehawkerfest.sg/menu

The three of us have been going around inviting our hawker heroes to take in this year fund raising event. This is not one easy task as we have talked to almost 100 hawkers but the most common rejection is no manpower. It is understandable and they also need to make a living from their little stall. Nevertheless, we are proud and delighted to have over 20 hawker heroes sacrificing their time to do a part for charity. On 22 November 2014 from 11am to 5pm, Suntec Convention & Exhibition Centre Hall 401 & 402 will be transformed into the Ultimate Hawker Centre where one can savour all these delicious local hawker food while at the same time helping the needy and disadvantaged.
