The Kita Food Festival Big Barbecue returns on Saturday March 15 at Gourmet Park

The festival’s main event, the Big Barbecue, will be held at Gourmet Park Kampong Bugis.

The barbecue will see six chefs from around Southeast Asia cooking in three teams. Each team will preside over a live charcoal grill and produce two dishes which merge the philosophies and cooking styles of the two chefs. Each ticket holder gets to try all six dishes.

The food will be topped with live DJ’s, dancing and a range of drinks, including specialty curated cocktails from Ardbeg, the event partner.

The chef teams include:
● Taiki Rattanapong from Homburg (Bangkok), whose take on the classic American burger took the internet by storm back in 2018.
● Adam Penney from modern British diner, Carnaby (Singapore), who brings a modern flair to comforting British classics.
● Waymann Cheong of Lucky Hole (Penang), winner of the Michelin Guide Kuala Lumpur & Penang 2025 Young Chef Award.
