New for celebrASIA 2026, we are hosting a series of expert panel talks exploring storytelling, food, fashion, heritage and culture.
About this Event

Celebrating the uniting nature of food and cooking. What does flavour mean as a way of connecting, and how do we learn about new foods?

Join our talented hosts Budgie Montoya, John Chantarasak, Abby Lee, and Abbey Wong as they embark on an exciting journey into the tantalising world of cooking. This engaging panel celebrates the communal spirit of food and the artistry involved in culinary creations, highlighting how the vibrant tapestry of flavours can spark meaningful conversations among people. Delve into the essence of flavour as a powerful tool for connection, and uncover the ways we discover and embrace diverse culinary traditions and new ingredients. Through lively discussions and mouthwatering explorations, the hosts invite you to consider the joyful act of sharing meals and stories that bring us all together.
