Tiong Bahru Plaza invites visitors to discover new culinary experiences alongside one of Singapore’s most-loved food neighbourhoods with this year’s edition of its annual food festival, Bites Without Borders.
Inspired by Tiong Bahru’s rich culinary heritage, the month-long event from 26 July to 30 August blends global flavours and local favourites through a vibrant line-up of food stalls and dining experiences.
Held across the mall’s Main Atrium and outdoor event spaces, Bites Without Borders builds on Tiong Bahru Plaza’s role as the neighbourhood’s gateway to food discovery.
“One of the things people love most about Tiong Bahru is that every visit can lead to a new food discovery, whether it’s a long-time favourite or flavours they’ve never tried before,” said Agnes Soon, General Manager, Tiong Bahru Plaza/Central Plaza. “With Bites Without Borders, we’re bringing that spirit of exploration into Tiong Bahru Plaza, creating opportunities for shoppers to discover diverse cultures through engaging workshops and exclusive rewards. We hope visitors will not only enjoy the event but also take the opportunity to explore more of what the mall and the wider Tiong Bahru neighbourhood have to offer, while supporting the local businesses that give Tiong Bahru its unique character.”
