World Street Food Congress 2015

Managed to attend the World Street Food Congress today (last day!!!) Didn't want to give this event a miss because it's not everyday that you get vendors from overseas coming down to Singapore just to sell their food so I dragged one of my friend along with me hehe. The food were VERY expensive in our opinion (taking into consideration the small portion), but I guess they had to cover up for the costs spent on flying over?

The World Street Food Congress or wsfc15 in short was held from the 8th to 12th of April at the grassland next to Tan Quee Lan Street, a stone's throw away from Bugis Junction.

Reached about 4pm and to my surprise there weren't a lot of people! Didn't have to queue for more than 5 minutes at any stall and some stalls didn't even have a queue! I guess it's due to the timing I went because I heard that people had to queue for about an hour plus for just one stall in the evening.

We tried the food from 3 stalls, the German, Malaysian and Thai stall.

From the German Stall we bought the Original Currywurst combo ($12) and Potato salad ala carte ($4). 

The Original Currywurst
Regarded as the national street food of Germany, the currywurst sausage which is blended with masala is commonly found along the streets of Germany. It is served sliced and doused with the Original Curry Tomato Ketchup Sauce and ambrosial curry powder. (wsfcongress.com)

I found both the potato salad and Currywurst really good. First time trying sausages with curry powder and I thought that it was something really unique!

From the Malaysian stall we got the Apom (Indian style rice flour pancakes) ($4.50)

Didn't get an individual photo of the Apom but it's at the bottom left of the above picture.

Found nothing special about this. It's supposed to be thin and crispy on the outside while the centre is soft but I think we got too much of the crispy part and too little of the soft part :( There wasn't much taste in it as well :(

Lastly, from the Thai stall we got the Talay Tord (seafood omelette) ($10)

The omelette consisted of squid, crab meat prawns and beansprouts. Really appetizing and enjoyed the chili that was served with it. However, it's very similar to Singapore's "orh lua" (oyster omelette) so I don't think it's a very wise idea to pay 10 bucks for something you can get for half the price and at a much bigger portion.

Albeit the cost of these food, this event was an interesting experience! Would definitely go for it again in future (with more money lol) and try more food from the other countries :)
