Gastrogig: Singapore’s First Pop-up Restaurant returns after sold out debut

Following a sold-out debut in September held on the roof of the Sime Darby Centre and featuring award-winning chefs from Portugal and the Philippines, Gastrogig returns with Asian street food and Nordic islands cuisine prepared by Celebrity Chef Will Meyrick and Chef Peeter Pihel.

Singaporeans may have tasted almost all types of Asian Cuisines but few have had the opportunity to try truly authentic recipes from countries like Myanmar, Vietnam and Cambodia – simply because these dishes are typically not served in restaurants and hotels. From 15 – 17 November, for three nights only, celebrity chef and owner of acclaimed Balinese Restaurants, Sarong and Mama San, Chef Will Meyrick, will show foodies exactly what they have been missing out all these while.

Guests will enjoy not only a side of Asian food they have never seen, but also the many stories of adventures and mishaps Will has accumulated on his travels who fell in love with south-east Asia ever since he began exploring the region in 1999.

From 22-24 November, Gastrogig moves from the familiar to the exotic as Celebrity Chef Peeter Pihel will be introducing foodies to cuisine from the Nordic islands. Chef Peeter, who cooks from the award winning Padeste Manor hotel on the Baltic Sea island of Muhu is also one of Europe’s 12 avant-garde chefs (‘Der Feinschmecker’) and was awarded the title of Estonia’s Best Chef for year 2008.

Nordic islands cuisine offers tastes which gain their character from produce, techniques and recipes and creatively inspired by Mother Nature. Kitchen across Nordic islands often use wild and seasonal ingredients to bring out unique flavours that bring to mind, images of winter, spring, summer and fall.

Guests can look forward to enjoying the amazing culinary creations of one of the world’s most original and exciting chefs of the moment, who once made culinary headlines for making ice cream from Christmas tree needles.

Gastronomy enthusiasts will also get to have the rare opportunity to get insight and inspiration from the master Chefs themselves. Guests can enrol in a highly interactive cooking class run by the Celebrity Chefs and learn the secrets behind their signature dishes as they personally give instruction on how to create home cooked culinary masterpiece, which will conclude in a wine and dine affair with the Celebrity Chefs themselves.
