Rometraveloften.com, Singapore (08/10/2018) - The
historical precinct of Kampong Glam will soon be pulsating with an exciting
series of fun and entertaining activities for both tourists and local residents
from 5 October 2018 to 17 March 2019.
Deeply rooted in the colonial history of Singapore, Kampong Glam serves
not only as a flourishing centre of Malay and Islamic culture but a thriving
tourist hub filled with an incredible mix of inspiring personalities,
interesting shops, vibrant cafes/restaurants and a buzzing ambience. Passion@KampongGlam
is a weekend series of experiences dedicated to bringing out the best of this
enclave through a carefully curated programme of food, music and cultural
activities designed to appeal to both international tourists and local
residents in a six-month period.
Developed with the support of the Singapore Tourism Board’s Experience
Step-Up Fund, the series reflects the historical and cultural aspects of
Kampong Glam in an engaging manner. Riding on the STB’s new ‘Passion Made
Possible’ brand, the series encourages visitors to immerse themselves in the
experiences and integrate with the community.
“Passion@KampongGlam is more than
an expression of the affection and respect for this heritage enclave. The
series pays tribute to this heritage enclave with an enjoyable mix of
activities to appeal to all ages,” explains Benedict Choa, Founder of
Passion@KampongGlam. As the co-founder of Cube Boutique Capsule Hotels, Mr Choa
heads the collaborative group of partners tasked with this mission.
He adds, “We are
passionate about supporting the culture, businesses and attractions in this
precinct. Working with the community leaders and stake holders ensures that the
cultural legacy is carried on in a meaningful way.”
The activities will take place from a Friday to Sunday from 4-6pm in a
six-month period in the following format with a total of 72 days of experiences
on a specially erected stage in front of the Singapore Visitor Centre on
Bussorah Street:
Friday – Cooking demonstrations with top
chefs
Saturday – live music performances
Sunday – games and cultural activities
The cooking demonstrations will be hosted by prominent celebrity Chef Mel
Dean and a halal food ambassador of Singapore. A recipient of the Honoree
Entrepreneur Award from the Singapore Malay Chamber of Commerce (SMCCI) and the
winner of the Halal Jampacked Food Bank with Jamiyah Singapore, he has cooked
for VIPs and been featured on food programmes on television and radio. The
founder of Kapowww specializing in halal food products, Chef Mel will share his
culinary specialities through his
innovative, interactive cooking workshops and live cooking demonstrations. Chef
Mel will host the demonstration with Resident Chef Oktay Sahin of REIS Steak
House and a different guest chef every

local indie musicians from the Sultangate Musicman featuring a repertoire of
popular local folk songs, multi-cultural music reflecting the diverse heritage
of Singapore and contemporary pop
