First Molecular Gastronomy Food Festival In Singapore From 27 July To 9 Aug At The Seletar Mall

Food at The Seletar Mall’s Gastronomic Discoveries Almost anyone would be able to tell you that sugar, spice, everything nice, and chemical X will give you The Powerpuff Girls. Not many, even so, will know how man-made caviar comes about or how water and potato starch can create a plate of transparent ravioli.

If curiosity is overwhelming the science geek in you, or the mention of food simply triggers your cravings, you’ll want to keep a lookout for The Seletar Mall ’s Gastronomic Discoveries ! Happening from 27 July to 9 August 2018 , the event will feature a huge food science lab where you get to watch food being prepared using scientific techniques. Here are some interesting lab-made bites that you can expect at the event!

Ice-cream Burrito The Nitrogenius Lab zone is where you can watch a “scientist” transform milk into ice-cream within seconds, and then have the chance to wrap the smoking ice-cream in candy floss by yourself. While the ice-cream was not as smooth as gelato, the strong milky taste of the Ice-Cream Burrito was pleasant, refreshing, and especially fun with bits of liquid nitrogen smoke escaping the candy floss. 2.

Dragon’s Breath Fruit Loops Found at the same zone as the Ice-cream Burrito, the Dragon’s Breath Fruit Loops is made by soaking the cereal in liquid nitrogen. To satisfy the bargain-loving self in you, check out the Man-made Caviar from the Spherification Factory zone !

Served in small test tubes filled with 7 Up, pop the “caviar” into your mouth with a single shot and enjoy the chewy texture that will remind you of a combination of bubble tea pearls and aiyu jelly! 4. Man-made Egg Yolk The Man-made Egg Yolk here is made using the same technique as that of the caviar.

While the latter was all texture and no taste, you can expect the egg yolk to be an exploding jelly of mango juice. There’s no glam way to eat this so just use your hands to pick the “egg yolk” up and let the dessert explode in your mouth! 5. While the translucent plastic-like layer melts into nothing in your mouth, the minced chicken filling was savoury and reminded us of bolognese. 6.

In addition served in a petri dish, the hemispherical cake is made of agar, sugar, and topped with fruits. The dessert is mildly sweet and not jelak, so don’t worry about downing the entire petri dish in one mouthful! 7.

Made of mango juice, soda water, and coloured soda, the drink was created based on the concept of density, where the differences in densities cause the components to separate from each other. Pop the balloon by biting and inhaling the helium and you can crack your friends up with your squeaky voice! 30 edible helium balloons are given out at random timings on Saturdays and Sundays, so cross your fingers before you pop by! 2.

Games Zone At the end of the trail, you’ll find yourself at the Games Zone where you can challenge your friends to a game of Fruit Ninja Kinect 2. Feast at The Seletar Mall Here’s the best piece of news – spend a minimum of $30* at the mall to gain entrance to the event and once you’re inside, you can try all the food there for free!

As well make sure you have a Lab of Delights card when you head in and have the card stamped at every zone to redeem a free gift before you leave! You can in addition try your luck at a lucky draw that’s happening from 20 July to 19 August.
