This year’s food festival is of much longer duration from July 16 to July 25, 2010. Check the highlights here.

I got a sampling of mind-boggling array of dishes from various ethnic groups like the Indian, Arab, Peranakan, and Chinese. Just like last year, the Clarke Quay Food Street will be one of the focal points of this year’s festival, featuring Chinese cuisine from more than 30 different restaurants.
