Marina Bay Sands' Epicurean Market is now into its fifth year and the 2017 edition features three days of culinary festivities to whet your appetite. Today is the last day of the event so it's still not too late to make your way to the Sands Expo and Convention Centre now for a delicious epicurean journey.

You can expect to sample famous signature dishes by celebrity chefs, taste award-winning vintages and one-of-a-kind cocktails, and get great deals on imported specialties to take home with you.

Together with Christine Kaelbel-Sheares, Vice President of F&B at Marina Bay Sands, and Sean Newman, Executive Director of F&B at Marina Bay Sands, the group toasted (with teh tarik) to the opening of the integrated resort's hallmark culinary festival.
