Venue
Experience the real Singapore Makan scene at KEK Seafood, a chu-char kopitiam style restaurant featured on Netflix (Street Food: Asia, Episode 8, 14:49). This institutional establishment was the place Anthony Bourdain frequented - in fact, he would often have them cook at his home when he entertained. KEK seafood is also in the Michelin Guide as a recommended must-go, and many European Michelin Chefs eat here when they visit Singapore.

Please bring a device with an internet connection and headphones. We will be connecting several times throughout the evening to learn about the beverages and there will be plenty of 'unplugged' time to chat with your table. Don't worry if you're not a big drinker - everyone will be given individual servings and anything you don't finish you can take home!
