Benefits of the Food Festival

Visitor who enjoy the dishes will want to know more about the country that produces the unique dishes.

When the visitor enjoy a particular dish, they might try to cook it.

Sharing knowledge of food and cooking helps to promote togetherness.

At the festival, we can show how the same type of fresh produce is used by different communities to cook different dishes. For instance, the same fish might be eaten differently in different ASEAN countries.
