The World Gourmet Summit Awards of Excellence is now into its 18th year and
it really has been such a pleasure to witness the progression of hospitality and
culinary talents over the years. What better way to celebrate the opening of
the 22nd edition of the World Gourmet Summit than with these stars, together
with an illustrious gathering of trade professionals in the food and beverage
(F&B) and hospitality industry, an increasing number of professionals, managers,
executives and businessmen (PMEBs), and of course, all foodies.

Awards of Excellence serves as an official platform in recognising individuals
and establishments in the F&B industry, highlighting their immense, unyielding
dedication and diligence to their craft and contributions towards the regional A MessAge froM the founder
F&B scene. As the F&B scene continues to thrive and evolve, a new generation
of stars rise, bringing with them new perspectives, experiences, passion and
commitment for what they do.

Our F&B industry has always been a remarkable arena for creativity and
challenges. A dining establishment is successful when it offers diners with more
than an enjoyable dining experience. Awards of Excellence recognises the
contributions made in making a guest`s experience unforgettable.

The industry requires more passionate, driven and competent individuals. I am
positive that new benchmarks of excellence will continuously be surpassed
because only then will the levels of service and experience become even
more spectacular. We are pleased that Awards of Excellence helps achieve
this goal and is instrumental in the evolution of culinary landscape in Singapore
and in the region.
Congratulations to all deserving finalists of this year’s World Gourmet Summit
Awards of Excellence!
