For those of you who cannot wait for National Day to arrive, we have some good news to share.
You will be able to start your celebration and express your love for Singapore earlier this year by paying a visit to Coca-Cola’s food festival, “Singapore is Cooking”, which will be held from Aug. 4 to 6, 2023, at Timbre+ One-North.
Featuring games and activities inspired by local cuisine, the food fest will allow you to spend quality time with your loved ones and redeem attractive prizes, while celebrating Singapore’s diverse food culture and rich heritage.
Without further ado, here are some highlights of the event:
Coca-Cola x Food Park
To start your journey at the food fest, you would need to purchase a food bundle, which will contain a Coca-Cola product, at the Bottle Shop.
Alternatively, you can also purchase two Coca-Cola products.

Upon making your purchase, you can collect your mission card and get your first lucky chance at the Gashapon machine.
Thereafter, head over to the Coca-Cola Food Park located in Timbre+ outdoor area and complete at least three game challenges to bring home attractive prizes, which include Ninja Foodie 11-in-1 multicooker (6L), SMEG Toasters, Bluetooth speakers, and disposable film cameras.
Before you start your adventure, you can warm up first with a round of Dance Dance Revolution dance-off.

In each round, two players are required to face off, and one will emerge as the winner.
Once you are ready, embark on your journey to fill up your mission card by completing the various games and activities inside the Food Park, which include:
Game 1: Chili Crab swing

To collect a stamp for this game, all you need to do is to take a picture with the Chili Crab swing and post it on social media with the hashtag #SingaporeisCooking.
Game 2: Seesaw x Prata Toss
If you are looking for a challenge, grab a friend and try this game inspired by prata.
After sitting on the two sides of the seesaw, try tossing the prata-printed frisbee into the holes in the wall.
Here’s the catch: to toss your “prata” into the higher holes, the two of you would need to seesaw each other.
Fun.
Game 3: Nasi Lemak Puzzle Hunt

If you are a Nasi Lemak fan, you cannot miss out on this game.
To complete the challenge and collect your stamp, you would need to find the puzzle pieces in the nasi ball pit before completing the puzzle within one minute.
Once you have finished the games, you can present your mission card with the stamps to the brand ambassador stationed at the Capsule Container.

There will also be a doodle wall where you can paint on and share your experience with fellow visitors.
Singapore Book of Records — Pizza Challenge
Time: Aug. 5 from 2pm to 5pm
Location: In front of Burgs
If you are thinking of heading down on Saturday afternoon, you will have the chance to be part of the task force that sets the record for the largest Coca-Cola iconic bottle formation made from pizza at the food fest.
The event emcee will start calling for participants once the ingredients are ready, and they will run you through the pizza-making process before assigning you a specific role.
A judge from the Singapore Books of Records, a non-profit organisation that primarily compiles and adjudicates national records, will be there to determine whether the pizza is indeed the largest Coca-Cola iconic bottle formation made from pizza.
Once the pizza is made and the judge has reached a verdict, you can feast on the pizza you made.
Cool stuff.
Sabrefit workouts
Time:
Aug. 4 from 5pm to 6pm
Aug. 5 from 5pm to 6pm

If you are keen to join one of the three sessions, remember to stop by Timbre+ One-North before Aug. 4 and sign up according to the instructions on the event posters.
