Do you like Italian cuisine?
Goodnews! The 6th edition of the International Week of Italian Cuisine in Singapore has launched today at Casa Barilla on 15 November, will start on 22nd November, promoting Italian culinary excellence, with a focus on growing exchanges between Italian traditions and Singaporean flavors. Sustainability and heritage will be some of the keywords in the list of initiatives that will take place until 28 November 2021.
Italian Ambassador in Singapore, H.E. Mario Andrea Vattani shared that “Singaporeans are more and more curious about Italian food, and they have a very broad view of culinary culture, which goes from top restaurants to lively hawker centers. As Italians, we experience the cuisine as an open language. This allows us to move freely within the richness of our own regional and territorial identities. I believe that this particular approach to our own varied heritage resonates with Singapore, a truly international hub of comparison and coexistence between flavors and cultures.”
Foodies can look forward to multiple events, both in-person and online, aim to introduce Italy’s gastronomic culture and flavors to the people of Singapore and to share the love for Italy’s simple but high-quality cuisine. The week will include special promotions involving Italian restaurants, food, and wine marketplaces, and online platforms, with workshops and cooking classes, wine and food tastings, stellar dinners, and charity projects.
