What's Hot in Food Travel in 2016
Singaporeans love to eat. And they love to escape the island for even more food. If you’re looking to do more than just sightseeing on your next escape abroad, these are some of the recommended food-related activities that you can indulge in next year:
Follow the New Mediterranean Food Trail
Watch out, Italy: you have some culinary competition. A new range of food tours is showcasing the cuisine of other Mediterranean destinations. Intrepid Travel's new Real Food Adventure through Slovenia and Croatia has activities ranging from truffle hunts to slurping straight-from-the-sea oysters. See www.intrepidtravel.com
Get Stuck in An Airport
The last place we ever thought we'd eat well was an airport; but how times change. This year alone, Alain Ducasse's Saison opened in Newark Airport and the sumptuous I Love Paris debuted at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport. The restaurant, helmed by three-star chef Guy Martin, is only open to transit passengers, and serves some of Martin most famous dishes, including his blanquette de veau. With renovations planned for a number of airports around the world, including New York's LaGuardia, we're excited to see who will be the next star chef to take stake a spot at the terminal.
Feast on Food Museums
At Brooklyn's brand-new Museum of Food and Drink, the focus is on the science behind the food we eat. Did you know that one of the compounds that makes coffee smell so irresistible is also found in skunk spray? At MOFAD, you can swallow a pellet and taste it for yourself. Over in London, the planned British Museum of Food has just launched with a series of temporary exhibitions curated by Bompas & Parr, which includes a video ride through the digestive tract.
