What is the Kita Food Festival all about?
– Media from donna_campbellpr
Kita translates to “us” or “we” in Malay, which underlines the inclusive community of the festival that looks beyond status, skin colour, and creed.
It pushes top chefs and innovators in the Asian food industry to the forefront while fostering discussions on sustainability, food security, and culinary heritage.
Previous Kita Food Festival editions were held in Malaysia and Thailand, with Singapore being one of the stops of this year’s tour. Expect it to be packed with curated dining experiences, interactive discussions, and community-driven programs!

Food, culture, and conversations collide in this must-attend event that goes beyond eating (though that’s something to look forward to!).
