Opening Reception of World Gourmet Summit 2017

The World Gourmet Summit was first started in 1997, and it is a culinary event that is held annually in Singapore. Its objective is to showcase dining offerings in Singapore and promote local chefs while featuring Michelin-starred chefs and wine vintners from around the world.

 
The World Gourmet Summit Awards of Excellence (AOE) 2017 honored 39 outstanding professionals and establishments from F&B and hospitality industries. Singapore has attracted and retained many repeat visitors and even well-known F&B industry stakeholders into the country, and brings not only tourism dollars but recognition within the region and on a global level.



 
I was glad to be invited to the Opening Reception of World Gourmet Summit 2017 which was held at the One Farrer Hotel & Spa. 

 
Upon arrived at the venue, we started our night with some Pellegrino Sparkling Water before proceeding to the gourmet stations.









 
I met up Meryl by sheer coincidence, and it was a pleasant surprise as it has been at least 2 months since our last CNY meet-up! 
 









 
 
I was introduced to Newby, a premier fine tea company originating from UK. I tried out their Earl Grey Tea, and it tasted very smooth and fragrant as they use only the finest loose-tea leaves! One thing I found worth mentioning is that they use Bio-degradable pouches that were akin to 'silken pyramids' to store and seal the tea leave for freshness! 
 

 
I also spotted their unique Zodiac Tea Gift collection! Each Tea Caddy was adorned by Swarovski crystals!


 
Nothing beats having great food and fantasy companionship. A photo is 'our' mandatory thing we normally do, and we ended our night at WGS 2017 as such!
 

 
I enjoyed everything that was lined up for us during the opening reception. I will definitely be looking forward to the World Gourmet Summit 2018.

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder. The scent still lingering in the bathroom for hours and it smells pleasant as well as not being over-powering. I love how my hair feels smooth after using each of the products. I tried the White Musk shampoo and Cherry Blossom treatment,...
