Food and drink enthusiasts would be thrilled to find 5 informative workshops at the OC Food Festival. From chocolate to extra virgin oil and balsamic vinegar appreciation, I had a great time particularly at the sake food pairing workshop!

1. Sake & Butter-Steamed Japanese Clam paired with the refreshingly elegant Honjozo Yamadanishiki, also known as the "King of Sake Rice".

2. Grilled Jumbo Scallop paired with the Junmai Daiginjo that has a nice influenza tea ginjo fragrance.

3. Miso-Glazed Eggplant paired with the more refined, fragrant and intricate Junmai Nigori.

Located on the ground floor of Orchard Central, the OC Food Festival is ongoing till 14 August 2016. Email your details and preferred workshop to OCfoodfest@3-three.biz should you wish to participate.

This was a hosted event by Orchard Central; many thanks to Whistler Wine & Spirits for conducting the Sake Food Pairing Workshop and Saffron Communications for the invitation!
