Attention foodies! The highly anticipated TLM Food Expo is taking over Singapore EXPO Hall 6A for its final instalment for 2026, spanning 2 weekends from 25 – 27 Sep and 2 – 4 Oct. It’s your last chance to get in on the action and enjoy global street food or viral snacks right here in Singapore.
Admission to this mega food fair is FREE and grants you access to over 120 local and international vendors. Amongst these brands, 30 are exhibiting for the first time, so you’ll have something new to look forward to even if you’ve been to TLM Expos before.
Taking centre stage this year is Vegetarian Food Asia, Hong Kong’s biggest vegetarian and eco-living showcase. This comes as good news for vegetarians, as there will be many more plant-based and vegan options from various brands. Alongside them, other Hong Kong brands are also exhibiting under the newly introduced Hong Kong pavilion, bringing you authentic and addictive street snacks straight from the heart of Hong Kong.
Other international brands making their way to Singapore for the first time include Malaysian vendors GPR Gold, known for their melt-in-your-mouth pure butter cookies. Also making their debut is Cap Orkid (Orchid Brand) Soy Sauce, a heritage brand of premium naturally brewed soy sauce and soya bean paste.
As one of the largest food expos in the region, TLM Food Expo is packed with event-only discounts and exclusives. On 25 Sep, which happens to fall on the same day as the Mid-Autumn Festival, visitors stand a chance to win free mooncakes (5pm onwards, while stocks last) and other seasonal goodies. The first 500 visitors daily will also receive a door gift.
From dedicated foodies to bargain hunters, TLM Food Expo is sure to be nothing short of exceptional (and delicious).
You can’t really get the full food expo experience without indulging a little. Out of everything we sampled from the cooked food stalls, these 3 dishes were the standouts:
Traditional Bak Zhang (S$3) from Xiang Ye Nyonya Dumpling: Steamed to perfection, these savoury rice dumplings come generously packed with tender, marinated pork, salted egg yolk, and umami mushrooms, all wrapped tightly in aromatic bamboo leaves.
Fuzhou Oyster Cake (S$4) from an unnamed stall: Next, I decided to try something that was pretty new to me. The oyster cake was crisp on the outside and had a satisfying crunch. It contained a juicy oyster, minced meat, and a whole prawn. While the addition of fresh cilantro within added a herbaceous touch, the snack was overall too greasy for me, especially with the thick batter.
Three-Color Mango Sticky Rice (S$6) from Triplets Thai Kitchen: To end the day on a sweet note, I opted for my favourite Thai dessert! What makes this rendition special is that they use sticky rice in 3 distinct natural shades: green pandan, blue butterfly pea, and classic white coconut. The mango used was perfectly ripe, and the stall owner shared with me that the dish uses Thai honey mangoes, which are prized for their sweetness. Drizzled with warm coconut milk, it’s as gorgeous as it is yummy.
