Savour 2013, Singapore's largest gourmet festival

Last weekend, the chillin team was at Savour 2013 where we spent one entire day sampling good food and basking in great atmosphere. We first headed to the Gourmet Market so we can get ourselves in line for the dessert masterclasses, and after that we browsed the sections of the market where exhibitors strutted their goodies from baking ingredients to ham and cheese. Especially loved the Nespresso booths as they were all enthusiastic in giving us free coffee and spared no effort in explaining the blends and the machines. But since we already have a Pixie nespresso at home, we were more interested in the coffee than the machines.

Back to the food, here's a snapshot of our fabulous dinner...

• Pork belly, mushroom duxelle, onsen egg - from Keystone restaurant
• Lamb grill - from The Stellar Grill
• Blend of coffee - from Nespresso

We loved the pork belly, it was a great combination of ingredients with the tender pork well accompanied by onsen egg that was cooked at perfect timing. 

And our appetizers + desserts...

• White Chocolate and coconut panna cotta, with lime compressed pineapple, pistachios and alfonso mango puree - from Pollen Street Social
• Lychee frozen Martini, King crab - from Osia
• Fresh crab meat with Lemon mayo, Avocado puree, sweet corn mousse and wild dill - from Pollen Street Social
• Affogato - from Nespresso

Lychee frozen martini with king crab was an interesting concoction, refreshing lychee sorbet and fresh succulent crab meat, this is definitely one of my favourites. The partner on the other hand found a unique and inspiring blend of flavours in Pollen Street Social's Fresh crab meat with Lemon mayo, avocado and sweet corn mousse. Well, not surprising since this is came from the hands of highly accredited Chef Jason Atherton who used to be a partner of Gordon Ramsay.

It was a truly great experience at Savour as we had the chance to experience a wide variety of gourmet that we normally wouldn't have been able to enjoy because some of these are from Michelin star restaurants, which are obviously too pricey for us to dine at on a normal basis. So I guess we'll definitely be back next year for more good food and inspiration!
