Grand Opening Ceremony Photo Taking

The official grand opening of the Teochew Festival was held today on the 9th December 2016 at Sands Expo and Convention Centre Level 1 Hall A. It is an amazing event to promote the rich culture and heritage of Teochews in Singapore. This festival is organized by Teochew Poit Ip Huay Kuan (潮州八邑会馆) and it is well received by the public since the inaugural event in 2014. 


What I feel about the event?
The Teochew Culture has evolved over the years. We are able to compare with our current generation on what has changed and what hasn't. This being said, I am definitely sure that most of the delicacies have always been our all time favorite dishes. The authenticity of the dishes are still there and one must definitely head down to try it if you haven't tried most of the Teochew dishes available in the market.

I'm honored to have been able to see a gathering at such to prevent the Teochew Culture from being lost in future generations to come.

The event is hosted over a wide area of 45,000 square feet of exhibition space, which is spacious and able to host quite a large crowd. It may be big, but it's easy to manoeuvre about with the aid of the directional signage.  

I am fascinated by all the cultural performances as well as the exotic costumes and make-ups don by the performers. There are different aspects of this festival that one may find intriguing, which includes the cultural gallery, where you'll be able to catch a glimpse into the tough lives of early Teochew immigrants in Singapore through a display of Qiaopi (Remittance Letters) from overseas Chinese in the 1800s and 1900s.

There are a lot of scrumptious delights available at the food street, which features about 20 vendors comprising homegrown Teochew eateries namely Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine, Chin Lee Restaurant, as well as food vendors from Shantou and Chaozhou, China. Some of the food and ingredients are also air-flown directly from Shantou China to ensure that visitors enjoy the taste of authentic Teochew cuisines.

I believe pictures speak a thousand words and the scrumptious delights shown below depicts how these mouth-watering delights may give you the extreme satisfaction required of you when you head down to this festival.

Personally, as the grand final day drew nearer, and diet and water had to be stricter, it was hard trying to keep up with the nutrition portion as well as the rest and recovery portion.

1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? To be honest, it was when i saw my friend Stanley give the most touching proposal on coronation night. It really made me tear up seeing how emotional he got while on his knee 2) What was the prep process like? The prep process was pretty vigorous nearing towards the end, as there were many events to go for and practices to attend. Though vigorous, I felt that they were all enjoyable with the class of 2022 around. 3) Are there any nervous moments and stress factors during the competition and how did you deal with it?

I guess how I dealt with it was to just let down my shoulders and enjoy the moment. Being relaxed and just being myself because that’s what people want to see! 4...
