Singapore Chefs (and One American) Celebrate Singapore's Varied and Irresistible Cuisine at the International Culinary Center
Singaporean cuisine has sadly yet to gain a major foothold in the U.S., but thanks to Singapore Restaurant Week, New Yorkers got a taste of what they're missing out on. And on Friday night, Singapore chefs; culinary influencers; VIPs; members of participating restaurants from restaurant week including Shake Shack, Madison Square Park, Bergdorf's, and ilili box (which transformed into a hawker pop-up stall); Singapore street food authority KF Seetoh; and those involved in the week's culinary activations were treated to a special Throwdown Party hosted by The Daily Meal at the International Culinary Center.

The ribs were marinated in a prawn paste-based batter before being deep-fried.
