Synopsis:

Get a taste of Lebanon and its regional cooking traditions right here in Singapore. That is the premise behind O.P.E.N. Picnic, a pop-up culinary and cultural showcase by the Lebanese chef, culinary activist and social innovator, Kamal Mouzawak.

Mouzawak founded the social enterprise Tawlet (Table) in 2009 in Beirut, where cooks from disparate regions, communities and backgrounds in Lebanon present their regional dishes. Tawlet brings people together to the same table in a celebration of Lebanon's culinary traditions, cultural diversity and identity. At the same time, the cooks, farmers and producers are able to earn a sustainable income.

You are invited to be part of this passionate endeavour as four chefs from Tawlet in Beirut cook up a storm for the first-ever O.P.E.N. Picnic. For just one afternoon, these cooks will present a delectable experience that will sate your tastebuds and set you thinking.

Share the same human enjoyment for food, never mind your nationality. Bring your picnic mat and sample some of these authentic regional dishes as you relax in the beautiful grounds of the Malay Heritage Centre. Or, bring your own favourite local food and share them with new friends in this fun, cultural food exchange.

This will also be your opportunity to meet The O.P.E.N.'s Singapore home cooks, who will open their kitchens to the public in the weeks to come.

All visitors are very much welcome to join the O.P.E.N. Picnic.
