Plating up Western Australia

Plating Up WA was launched in Western Australia (WA) in 2018 to celebrate WA’s produce in its home market. Singapore was chosen in 2022 as its first overseas campaign where diners could enjoy
the many WA-inspired dishes and drinks at participating venues during the month-long festival.

This year’s event showcases produce such as Western rock lobster, Pardoo Okan Wagyu, Fremantle octopus and Glacier 51 toothfish (pictured above), which chef François Mermilliod of Bar-A-Thym prepares with artichoke, asparagus, red prawn, and lime and saffron beurre blanc.

The participating venues for this year’s dining festival, which runs till July 23, include Bar-A-Thym, Eclipse by BDC, Flutes Restaurant, Kaarla, Open Farm Community, Oumi and six others. Click here for the full list of the 12 participating venues and their dishes/drinks.
