well, some.. but some silliness too.. like the time-honoured
tradition of singaporeans smothering their food with chilli.. and
spices.. like crab... there is no need for that but they do
anyway...
i liked the vinegar trotters and kong bak pau.. good heart stopping
stuff 
lots of other things there like mango salad and whatnot from
thailand.. lots of taiwanese stuff..
and the biggest atrocity of the food fest was "bak kwa sushi" which
looked really disturbing because it does not look like sushi and
was fried
