Singapore Food Festival (SFF) is returning for its 28th edition.
The event will be held online over three weekends from Aug. 27 to Sep. 12, 2021.
It will consist of:
- Food tours
- Masterclasses and food bundles
- SFF food merchandise
Here are some of the creations for SFF:
Buabka
Tigerlily Patisserie has whipped up Buabka, which is essentially a Babka.
For the uninitiated, a Babka is a sweet braided bread that originated from Poland and Ukraine.
Tigerlily Patisserie's savoury rendition is a Babka loaf stuffed with a paste of buah keluak, a Peranakan dish.

Both drinks will be available from Aug. 27 to Oct. 8, 2021.
