in

As Singapore is gearing up towards the 2015 Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix that will be happening in a couple of months, the finals of the inaugural culinary initiative organised by race promoter Singapore GP was held yesterday. The competition saw 36 different contestants (who came from different five-star hotels in Singapore as well as pastry chef apprentices from At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy) come together to design a brand new hospitality menu for the Singapore F1 Night Race this year. 

Participating hotels were divided into three teams (Team 1: Grand Hyatt Singapore and Sheraton Towers Singapore, Team 2: Intercontinental Singapore and Marina Mandarin Singapore, Team 3: Pan Pacific Singapore and Mandarin Oriental Singapore) and the winner for the 2015 Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix is Team 2.
