Mar 09, 2014,20:15 PM
 

Last Thursday, 6 March, ZENITH Singapore, arranged a local culinary adventure,  Savour 2014 for the local media.  ZENITH is the official timekeeper for this Singapore’s largest gourmet food festival since last year, which featured delicacies from mix of Michelin-starred chefs and  award-winning restaurants around the world.

This year, the event was held at The Promontory @ Marina Bay, right smack at the Central Business District of Singapore.  ZENITH booked the exclusive premier suit and arranged Chef Alvin LEUNG, the 3 Michelin Stars from Bo Innovation, Hong Kong, to serve his specialties for Savour 2014.  After tasting the Alvin Leung's hors d'oeuvres, the press-members were treated to taste other delicacies from other chefs taking part in the gourmet festival.

Thanks for the wonderful pictures. I am sure you were in for a gastronomical treat with the amazingly creative Alvin Leung. And glad to see a Red Baron on his wrist, and a Type 20 Special on Hugo's. Dean

Indeed ...

Hi Dean The event was nice, and with good company too. A good intro to Alvin Leung's cooking, eventually, better to visit him in HK. Check him out again, see if he is still wearing the Stratos Flyback :-) Thanks for viewing. Kong

The connection between Zenith watches and fine cuisine

Dear forumners, Sometimes when we feature food and drink at watch events, people ask "Why?" "What?" "Whom?" The key point that we should explain is the Deliberate Choice by Zenith to sponsor Savour 2014 Singapore because of commonalities between watchmaki...  

Kong, allow me to share a few photos

taken using my iPhone. Melvin Quite a queue. $7. Great value & quality, just like Zenith watches. So ready to feast. Can I take this table home? Watches. More watches. How they glow! Monster on the right! Attractive in its own way. ...  

Thanks for the additional watch pics ...

Did you manage to try most of the food? Kong

Nope, so much choices,

too little $ (pretty much the same status for watches, not enough $ to get what I like). Spent $55. But it was a very cosy and informal watch event to catch up with friends and getting to know new ones. Lost touch with Zenith a bit after my Winsor, so it ...  

Is that yours?

Great pictures. Looks like a wonderful event, Is that your Type 20 Special Zegg & Cerlati limited Edition? If so, would love to see more and hear your thoughts on it. I love the black dial on Rose gold Captain. Very classic and harking back to the 50'...

is mine. But the giant isn't mine. If I own it, I would probably put it on for short duration, considering the weight and size (scratches, ouches!). But a great conversation piece it is. Melvin ...  

You are right

It is a great conversation piece. Every time I wear one for dinner, whoever I am with always asks to see it. As for weight, the Titanium one is lighter, but I actually like the heft of the rose gold. Yes, apologies, you New Vintage 1955 is really nice. I ...
