There was a huge turnout when I was there on Sunday, I must say that the media publicity had contributed a big part to making the festival a great success.
Due to the fire and safety regulations, there is a limit to the number of visitors entering each section at a single time. Especially the Teochew Food Street, you may expect some queues, so if you plan to head down to the festival, exercising some patience will help a lot.
Admission to this Teochew extravaganza is only $5 per person. You can also grab the stored value tickets of $25 or $50 denomination to make your purchases at the event.
