How Agri-Tech Innovation is Helping Us to Grow More Food With Less Agritech offers a strong platform to showcase the harnessed technologies, for exhibitors to share their innovations from various countries in tackling current food issues and demand, in a sustainable format. The second Agri-Tech Food Expo Asia, which ran from 31 October to 2 November 2023, showcased innovative solutions to make food production more sustainable. The world is facing a deep and increasingly urgent food crisis. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation, there are 745 million more moderately to severely hungry people in the world today than in 2015. Last year alone, approximately 29.6 per cent of the global population – 2.4 billion people – did not have access to sufficient food. Even more concerning is the rapid growth in our food consumption rates. Researchers predict that meat and seafood consumption in Asia will surge by 78 per cent by 2050, largely due to population growth. This places additional strain on our natural resources and raises our carbon emissions, worsening our environmental impact. To feed more mouths on a sustainable scale, we must completely rethink how we produce food. Recent innovations such as lab-grown meat and high-tech farming ecosystems capable of producing substantial crop yields with minimal land usage are currently being explored. However, building food resilience and security is a collective responsibility that requires infrastructural and policy changes to achieve impact on a global scale. With this agenda, Constellar organised the second edition of the Agri-Tech Food Expo Asia (AFTEA) to convene global industry leaders, innovators and solution providers and highlight the newest breakthroughs in agriculture technology (agri-tech) offering promising solutions to address our current challenges. Creating a platform to spur agri-tech innovation A participating event of the Singapore International Agri-Food Week (SIAW) held at Singapore’s Sands Expo & Convention Centre, AFTEA 2023 offered a glimpse of how such technologies can be harnessed to address our food crisis. This platform serves as a meeting point for international MNCs and startups to exhibit their products and foster valuable industry connections, building a dynamic environment for knowledge sharing and developing crucial partnerships. Singapore leads the way in Asia as the pioneer of a large-scale agri-tech convention, bringing together a diverse array of agri-tech companies from around the globe. The 2023 AFTEA showcased 200 agri-tech firms representing more than 25 countries, including Australia, Bhutan, Germany and Spain. Together, they illustrated how agri-tech innovations can offer sustainable solutions to meet the rising food demands of growing populations while simultaneously reducing our environmental footprint. A key focus at AFTEA 2023 was engaging our youth to create a sustainable future. Through partnerships with institutes of higher learning such as the National Technological University of Singapore and Republic Polytechnic, the event encouraged a free-flowing exchange of ideas between industry veterans, young talents and students. Notably, the event’s second day saw finalist teams from the RP-Trendlines Agri-Food Incubation Programme pitching their agri-tech innovations to leading experts in agriculture. AFTEA has received strong industry and government support for its past two editions. Mr. Alvin Tan, Singapore’s Minister of State for Trade and Industry, officiated the event as Guest-of-Honour on the first day of AFTEA 2023. Dr. Koh Poh Koon, Singapore’s Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and Environment, graced the event on its second day with a tour of the various exhibits. Dr. Koh has overseen several key national agriculture developments, such as the plan to construct an 18-hectare Agri-Food Innovation park in Sungei Kadut. Alternative protein production, stacked farms, and more The Singapore government has set an ambitious goal to generate 30 per cent of its food supply by 2030. At AFTEA 2023, the Lim Chu Kang Agri-Food Hub exhibition, hosted by the Singapore Food Agency, gave attendees a sneak peek of the early concepts that will contribute to achieving this objective. The show highlighted innovative urban farming practices and facilities designed to transform the rural Lim Chu Kang district in the north of Singapore into an agri-food production hub. These groundbreaking solutions encompass a stacked farm approach to optimise land usage, a cooling facility to reduce energy consumption in farming and a centralised waste management system aimed at processing farm waste efficiently. Farming solutions provider Arianetech and agriculture biotech firm GRAIN International took the spotlight at the Living Lab Tech Showcase, showing firsthand how high-tech urban farming can yield high-quality produce. We found this useful as farming takes on a new approach in terms of scarcity in land-use in Singapore so this is a good example that lends itself to a strong innovation to drive good produce. Meanwhile, at the Cultivated Meat Pavilion, hosted by the APAC Society for Cellular Agriculture (APAC-SCA), visitors encountered futuristic concepts in lab-grown meat and alternative protein products. Noteworthy innovations included Kosmode Health’s energy- and cost-efficient plant protein extraction method and Umami Bioworks’ end-to-end solution, which leverages machine learning to expedite cultivated seafood production for manufacturers. The Umami team aims to encourage the cultivation of fish species that are challenging to breed, like Unagi (Japanese eel). Established three years ago, the company’s goal is to attain “price parity”, making this delicacy more accessible to a broader audience in a sustainable manner, both economically and environmentally. They are gearing up to introduce its first product, Marina Cat, the world’s first cultivated cat food through a partnership with the California-based agri-tech company CULT Food Science Corp. Insect Food Technologies is also poised to revolutionise the pet food industry by producing nutritious, protein-rich larvae. Using larvae as a protein source consumes fewer resources than conventional sources, and the waste produced by insects is nutrient-rich and can be used as eco-friendly fertilisers. Addressing food safety was another key focus at AFTEA 2023. A Thailand-based startup, EASYRICE, employs AI to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of rice quality inspection. Natural Trace has developed an organic DNA-based tagging solution that can be safely added to any food product, enabling suppliers to ascertain the product's origin using the company’s database within just two hours, thereby ensuring supply chain integrity. Decarbonising the agri-food sector for a sustainable future According to the Asia Food Challenge Report 2023, the agri-food sector accounts for 34% of all CO2 emissions globally, with Asia responsible for 42% of these. At the SIAW Gala Dinner, Deputy Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies Mr Heng Swee Keat urged stakeholders to accelerate decarbonisation efforts by exploring ready technologies and sustainable practices at cross-sharing platforms such as SIAW. Decarbonisation was high on the AFTEA 2023 agenda, with the exhibition highlighting solutions and investment opportunities that can mobilise action towards system-level changes. One such example was Circular Unite, which leverages data analytics technology, blockchain smart contracts and recycling solutions to assist clients in circular economy literacy and ensure the success of long-term decarbonisation efforts. Over three days, the second AFTEA ignited forward-looking discussions and catalysed collaborations that will shape the future of agriculture and food technology. Through the technology showcases and insightful dialogues, the event not only assured attendees of the ongoing transformative efforts but also emphasised the imperative role of decarbonisation in tackling one of the most profound global crises, the environmental impact of our agricultural practices. With a keen eye on innovation and a commitment to sustainability, AFTEA looks to illuminate the path toward a greener, more secure and more resilient food future.

Suite guests are also treated to a complimentary daily gourmet breakfast. Spa, Gym and Saltwater Pool For wellness and relaxation, The Spa of The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore promises to be a blissful retreat, with its fusion of modern therapies and traditional Asian massages.

The 24-hour gym, gym, appointed with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment, is ideal for fitness enthusiasts looking to keep up with their workout regimes, so we had a go at it, and also had a dip at the outdoor saltwater relaxation pool which is definitely the perfect place to kick back for an afternoon. So refreshing! Lobby Lounge Tastefully partitioned from the main lobby, this is the place to be for an unhurried afternoon, and so we chose to spend some time here. Enjoy light bites, Asian favourites, alongside a discerning selection of wines and cocktails - all amidst a tranquil and elegant setting. Or, relish the exquisite Afternoon Tea showcasing delicate sweet and savoury items for a relaxing afternoon, or sample a delicious Proseco to go along with the yummy bites, which we did, to full delight in this comfortable setting with plush seats, a good place for chatting and good fun! We sampled the breakfast one late morning (breakfast is between 6:00am to 10:30am) and loved the Asian assortment of tim sum, prawn noodle soup, chinese porridge, cheeses, ham assortment, and an entire array of Breakfast egg delights, trying out both the egg benedict of salmon and fresh ham, and the home-made Hollandais sauce was simply wonderful, made especially by the chef. There was even an egg tart display that was specially served by the pastry chef, and a whole array of kiddy breakfast items for the little ones, so thoughtful! 15 Stamford by Alvin Leung The new Tropical Sunday Brunch brightens up Singapore’s brunch scene with its vibrant atmosphere, specialty tiki cocktails, and Telmont champagne 15 Stamford by Alvin Leung at The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore announces the launch of their brand new Tropical Sunday Champagne Brunch. Held every Sunday, the brunch experience presents a buzzing atmosphere with live entertainment, thematic cocktails, and a wide variety of live stations serving modern Asian classics and mouth-watering grilled meats and seafood. We sampled this amazing buffet spread consisting of the cold seafood section. The freshest Snow Crab Leg, Tiger Prawn, Blue Mussels, and Seasonal Oysters is paired with unique condiment choices such as Thai assam vinaigrette, yuzu ponzu, cilantro and lime emulsion (so amazing). Our Sashimi platter comprised of a selection of the highest quality grade Tuna Akami, Hiramasa Kingfish, and Norwegian Salmon. A variety of the finest artisanal cuts grace the Charcuterie and Cured Fish Station. These include Beef Bresaola, Wagyu Pancia, Mortadella Bologna Pistachio and Jamón Ibérico De Bellota. We sampled and savoured both Hot Smoked Salmon and Smoked Haddock, both served with side options such as horseradis cream, Lilliput capers, marinated olives, and anchovies. Just brilliant! Save room for dishes from the Pasta & Noodles section. Make your own pasta with a choice of capellini, fettuccine or macaroni, to be cooked a la minute in sauces such as the luscious aged cheddar cheese sauce, Asian aglio olio with a mild spicy kick, classic basil pesto, decadent black truffle cream, and the fusion yellow curry cream, this was such a fantastic idea to allow for a DIY pasta selection based on your own personal fave concoction - chef for a day! 15 Stamford's Signature Laksa, was also served in the noodles section for a bowl of rich, slurping goodness, and I am elated that I went for it! Just delicious! Jazzing up the usual repertoire of buffet classics, 15 Stamford by Alvin Leung presents a luxurious foie gras station serving Pan Seared Foie Gras topped with Banana Rum Marmalade. 15 Stamford by Alvin Leung is known for its hot coal grill, so the Tropical Sunday brunch would not be complete without Grill Carving and Rotisserie Spit Roast sections. We tried a plethora of succulent meats and seafood, chargrilled to perfection. Pile your plates high with Wagyu Beef Chuck, Angus Beef Ribeye and Wagyu Beef Hanger Steak, freshly carved from the grill, alongside spit-roasted Wild Snapper, Roasted Duck, and Pasture Fed Lamb Leg. Amplify the flavours of the fork-tender meat with an array of sauces: adobo butter sauce, wood-smoked barbeque sauce, Asian chimichurri, Sarawak blackpepper sauce, mentaiko hollandaise and cilantro olive., there were 9 to choose from .. Meanwhile, the seafood grill will include White Clams, Spring Bay Mussels, and Tiger Prawns, and we rounded off the brunch on a sweet note with a selection of desserts.

This amazing and beautful concert took place on Friday, 20 October 2023, 7.30pm at the Esplanade Concert Hall; we were treated to an evening of calm, finess, peace, calm, tranquility and amazing tonality as the concert hall resonates the beautiful sounds of SSO in Tchaikovsky 4. Robert Russell Bennett (1894 – 1981) is the American composer and arranger best known forinventing the Broadway sound, credited for orchestrating the musicals of such famous composers as Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and Richard Rodgers. His violin concerto, a rarely heard work from 1941, shows its roots in film and stage with expressive drama. Join British violinist Chloë Hanslip and American maestro Andrew Litton as they present this underrated gem, with Tchaikovsky’s tumultuous symphonic masterpiece, the Fourth Symphony in the second half. Robert Russell Bennett belongs to that class of composers who elevated the melodies of his colleagues to their fullest form. As one of America's leading arrangers, he was responsible for scoring and orchestrating the scores of nearly a hundred musicals. From the 1920s to the 1970s, the list of composers and scores Bennett worked with is the very definition of the American Broadway sound - Richard Rodgers, George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Frederick Loewe... The Sound of Music, Show Boat, Kiss Me, Kate, Oklahoma!, South Pacific, The King and I, My Fair Lady, Victory At Sea and so on. "I give (Bennett the credit) without undue modesty, for making my music sound better than it was."- Richard Rogers Bennett was born in 1894, the year when Brahms was 61, Mahler completed his Symphony No. 2 and Debussy's Prélude l'après-midi d'un faune was premiered in Paris. His father George was a violinist at the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra and trumpeter at the Grand Opera House, while his mother May worked as a pianist and teacher. His musical talent was discovered from an early age - he was frequently called upon by his father to fill in any instrumental role in his band. His talent for melodic and harmonic structure served him well as an orchestrator - he was known to write out parts directly in ink, and in score order. Besides his work on Broadway, Bennett's prolific output as a "serious" composer is perhaps even more astounding. More than seven symphonies, concertos for violin, viola, harp, piano, harmonica; operas, incidental music for ballet and theatre, a large oeuvre of chamber music and many more for wind band. The Violin Concerto in A major from 1941 is a four-movement work. A light-hearted jaunt through a lively Broadway streetscape with occasional skyscraping solos, the opening Allegro moderato is the longest, taking up more than a third of the concerto's 23-minute duration. The Andante moderato is a sentimental nocturne with the violin yearning in song, set against a moonlit orchestral backdrop. A moment of drama interrupts this reverie as the soloist perks up for a side of cheekiness, before gradually slipping into the gentle night. A frantic and capricious Vivace serves as a brief showcase before the raucous finale, a colourful Allegro marziale ("martial") of a parade. Various themes from the earlier movements, the jolly and the nostalgic, make a brief reappearance before the curtain-closing coda. Bennett wrote his Violin Concerto for the American violinist Louis Kaufmann (1905- 1994). Aside from the fact that he played frequently with legendary contemporaries from Casals to Heifetz, Kaufmann also made a name for himself playing in the soundtracks of Hollywood films, including such classics as Casablanca and Gone with the Wind. As a classical violinist, he premiered the works of Copland, Milhaud and starred in the premiere recordings of the Barber and Bennett violin concertos. The latter, a live radio recording from 1956 conducted by Bernard Herrmann and the London Symphony, is the only existing recording of this concerto. Tonight's performance by violinist Chloë Hanslip, the Singapore Symphony Orchestra and conductor Andrew Litton is presented in conjunction with our recording sessions. The Bennett Violin Concerto will be recorded for the first time with modern equipment in a studio setting. This will be released in an album paired with the Violin Concerto by Vernon Duke, being performed by the same artists in concert on 27 Oct 2023 Robert Russell Bennett - Instrumentation Set 2 flutes (1 doubling on piccolo), 2 oboes (1 doubling on cor anglais), 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, tambourine, snare drum, suspended cymba, bass drum, cymbals, xylophone, vibraphone, harp, strings Concert Title: Bennett Violin Concerto and Tchaikovsky 4 Date & Time: Friday, 20 October 2023, 7.30pm Venue: Esplanade Concert Hall Performers: Singapore Symphony Orchestra Andrew Litton, conductor Chloë Hanslip, violin* Programme: ROBERT RUSSELL BENNETT Violin Concerto in A major* (Asian Premiere) TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No. 4 in F minor, Op. 36 https://www.sso.org.sg/

Rosette Media Tasting Panel Review 9.3/10 9* and above is a superior rating in our Rosette Media rating scale dedicated to outstanding venues The first and only premium Champagne Bar solely dedicated to superb champagnes in Singapore! As Convivial opens its doors to devoted champagne enthusiasts in Singapore, all patrons to this lovely venue will be immersed in a modern Champagne cave experience, whilst indulging in the finest selection of Champagnes and wines. This amazing venue is nestled in the fringe of the Boat Quay area in Singapore, and offers an intimate, enchanting and captivating ambience, that exudes elegance and allure, very similar to the smooth texture and structure of every sip of the amazing champagne that you would partake of, in this warm and inviting atmosphere. Convivial offers a breadth of Champagne styles to represent the richness that the region can offer; ranging from single varietal wines harvested from single vineyards akin to an electrifying Jimi Hendrix solo, to multi-vintage wines from a blend of varietals similar to Led Zeppelin's unending layers of psychedelic symphony. Beyond Champagne, Convivial celebrates all things bubbles as well; sparkling wines from around the world, some cider and beer too. There will be white, red and sweet wines as well, but each will have its story to tell involving fizz. Food goes with the Champagne, and they also serve wine; but this is not a restaurant where food comes first, champagne is delivered first and then innovative food concepts are presented to complement the champagne (coz we love to eat, but we much prefer to have champagne) We were truly awed by the design that resembles a champagne cave that denotes the assemblage of a typical storage venue in the heart of Champagne in France.. We sampled a premium selection of outstanding champagnes of single grapes and also a blend, and indulged in some amazing food accompaniment, whilst being take care by our splendid hosts Yang and Adrian.. Champagne Delights We sampled the champagnes and the wine in this order... 1. Perrot-Batteux, “Cuvée Helixe” 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs, Brut NV 100% Chardonnay Family-owned for 6 generations, now managed by two sisters Cynthia and Celine, this is a delicious and delicate Champagne with a racy acidity and prominent notes of minerality and salinity. It's a bright, fresh Champagne great to begin an evening, or just to sip throughout a hot afternoon (as Singapore usually is!), and it was pretty smooth, very easy to drink, and we can drink this naturally, all day, all night... single grape* 2. Moussé Fils, "Les Vignes de Mon Village" Blanc de Meuniers, Brut NV100% Pinot Meunier Another family owned estate, with 4 generations of winemaking and 12 generations of growing Champagne, Champagne Moussé is celebrating a century of winemaking in 2023. Passionate about the environment and the land, the winery work towards being carbon-zero. It is a energetic and high-toned, with citrus notes of grapefruit and blood orange. The labelling is modern, the tonality and taste consistent of finesse. single grape* 3. Krug, "Grande Cuvée 171ème Édition" MV 45% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay and 18% Pinot Meunier The 171ème Édition was composed around the harvest of 2015 which spanned 3 weeks, and is an orchestra of 131 different wines, the youngest being 2015 and the oldest being 2000. It has aromas of flowers in bloom, ripe, dried and citrus fruits, as well as marzipan and gingerbread. On the palate, smokey notes and flavours of almond paste, quince, lemon, limoncello and dried fruit. This is brilliant, wonderful and awesome; we love it and it can certainly stand on it's own' finesse re-imagined! Immaculate! Superb Blend* A Krug is a Krug! 4. Bonnet-Ponson, Chamery Coteaux Champenois Rouge 2018 Winegrowers since 1862, 6th-generation winemaker Cyril Bonnet crafted this project in recent years. It spends 3 weeks macerating in a concrete tank, with 1/3 of the Pinot Noir stems-on. This is a perfumed, light-footed and elegant red wine which shows the potential and future of Champagne as a wine-making region. First time sampling a wine from the Champagne region, and the result is packed with curiosity and distinction, palate refreshing! Food Accompaniment 1) Frogs Legs, with Fermented Red Beancurd, Ginger - this is so refreshing as we have never tasted anything like this, before, done in a fried structure, that spells amazement to the creativity of Chef Henry - it went so well with the premium champagnes we had.. 2) Lemon Sole，with Champagne Beurre Blanc, Pomme Purée, Samphire - again, another amazing dish, thoughtfully created, that can be consumed whole, crispy yet crunchy, with finesse to each bite 3) Prawn and Pork Tortellini, with Prawn Bisque, Chicharrón, Dill - to do this in a somewhat Italian style, but with a Singapore-chinese" introduction to its origin, is truly a hallmark, that goes with the style of the champagnes, we had for the evening! The essence was a fun evening! Truly a hallmark of distinction!
