It all kicked off yesterday evening and not even the rain could splash down our high spirits as we were welcomed to Siloso GrillFest.

Home to almost 1km of pop-up food stalls, Siloso GrillFest offers a spread of classic and contemporary BBQ creations, as well as international cuisine from various F&B operators from within and beyond Sentosa along the hip Siloso Beach. There are a whopping 120 food and beverage outlets on Sentosa island, and GrillFest has gathered 18 mobile stalls to offer we Singaporeans two weekends of epic food.

With live music performances to boot, the BBQ festival is set to delight guests from 13 – 16 April 2017 and 21 – 23 April 2017.  Having attended last night, we say it’s a must-visit.

Cornering off the road that runs along Siloso beach, a variety of bars and restaurants have pop up stalls that you can peruse and then purchase whatever takes your fancy – complete with outdoor seating area along the way.  With quirky umbrella lights leading you along the path, the ‘mini’ food festival has such an awesome buzz to it. 

Plus, the live music and beer towers (no, we most certainly did not have a tower, no we didn’t) means you can quite literally eat, drink and be merry.  The atmosphere is so relaxed, perfect for families to get together, couples to dine out with a difference or just friends being huge foodies and wanting to sample the best of Singapore.

The food…it is JUST WOW.

Everything that was served to us was beyond delicious…everything.  From oysters to burgers to tender lamb to BBQ meats…we were even served a ‘Chocolate Dog’ to try. Nope, it wasn’t a dessert but an actual hotdog baked in chocolate then topped with whipped cream and in a hot dog bun! If you do fancy desserts…they have some delightful coconut ice-cream served in an authentic coconut bowl.

We will say no more, but let the dishes do the talking…well, images of them at least. 

Open now and next weekend only, head down to Sentosa and get eating!
