Foodies, get ready for a culinary adventure to Borneo without hopping on a plane. The first-ever Sarawak Mega Fair is happening from 16 October to 19 October 2025 at Suntec City, bringing over 50 exhibitors that showcase the Malaysian stateâs unique food and culture!
Organised by the Sarawak Trade and Tourism Office Singapore (STATOS), the fair highlights Sarawakâs diverse food culture born from its 34 ethnic groups and rich natural produce. Visitors can look forward to tasting authentic dishes rarely found in Singaporeâmany prepared by Sarawak-born chefs and homegrown brands.
