Foodies are in for an amazing treat this March 2025 because it’s when the Kita Food Festival officially comes back! It’s a celebration of established Asian chefs and Singapore’s diverse food scene. 

What I find exciting about it is that it brings about legendary crossovers between popular chefs. Fancy restaurants also participate to deliver a special prix fixe menu of unique dishes. 

There’s just so much to expect, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for this year’s Kita Food Festival.

Kita’s Big Barbeque is what I’m the most excited about. I mean, it’s a BBQ picnic helmed by big-named chefs (Linn Yong of Limau and Linen and Ricardo Allen of Camp Caribbean, just to name a few). Of course, I’m excited! 

All attendees will get to enjoy six BBQ dishes—from sizzling meats and seafood to fresh vegetables. You can also expect bold sauces to accompany your BBQ, side dishes that are just as delicious as your entrees, and refreshing drinks. 

Just keep in mind that this has a fixed menu, and the chefs won’t be able to accommodate any dietary restrictions. Also, if you want to book for a group with 10 or more people, you need to book via email ([email protected]).
