 MODULE 5

FOOD WALK

INTRODUCTION

A Food Walk is a guided culinary tour that takes participants on a journey through local eateries, food stalls, and markets to explore the authentic flavors of a region. It offers an immersive experience where participants not only taste a variety of local dishes but also learn about the history, culture, and traditions behind them. Whether it's street food, traditional recipes, or unique regional specialties, a Food Walk highlights the diversity of a city's food scene.


The Event and Food Preparation

As part of our class activity, we embarked on a unique and memorable Food Walk at the beautiful TB Dam Gardens.

Each participant brought their own food item, creating a diverse and exciting spread of flavors, and we gathered in the serene atmosphere of TB Dam Gardens to enjoy the food, socialize, and celebrate our shared love for cooking.
