One for the foodies, Tiffin started out as a pop-up event before finally settling down at Sentul Depot. Every edition has seen new restaurants and innovative dishes alongside a great platform to connect with friends. But this year comes a special edition, where Singapore Tourism Board (STB) in conjunction with its “Passport To Feast” culinary event in Malaysia, is showcasing Singapore’s best at Tiffin at the Yard.

This weekend (9th – 11th September) will feature high-end dishes, from the country’s top cocktail bar to their very own Masterchef winner. You’ll also get to meet some of the founders and chefs while savouring their delectable creations.

The bar will also be taking a Malaysian favourite, the air bandung, and turning that into a concoction that’s familiarly fragrant.
