To be professional planner, must know Singapore culture
The
Singapore culture is a cosmopolitan society where people live harmoniously and interaction among different races are commonly seen. The pattern of the Singapore culture stems from the inherent cultural diversity of the island.The immigrants of the past have given the place a mixture of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and European influences, all of which have intermingled.Inside the culture ethnic races are still evident, there are different areas for different races which were designated to them by Sir Stamford Raffles, although the bulk of Singaporeans do think of themselves as Singaporeans, regardless of race or culture. Each still bears its own unique character like the old streets of Chinatown can still be seen for the Chinese the Muslim characteristics are still conspicuous in Arab Street for the Muslims and Little India for the Indians along Serangoon Road still has its distinct ambiance, and each racial group has its own distinctive religion and there are
colorful festivals of special significance all year round. Although the festivals are special to certain races, it is nonetheless enjoyed by all.
One challenging part during
event jobs is when we are hosting an
international event company the choice of food always plays and important role always. There are lots of cuisines to offer. We have, Chinese, Indian, Malay, Indonesian and Western, Italian, Spanish, French, Thai and even Fusion. It is very common to savoir other culture's food and some of the food can be very intriguing.Also during this type of events we also will tend to get mixture of crowds where catering food will be huge problem due to the different type of cultures who has their own religion to follow like the Muslims who can only eat food which are halal whereby they can only eat food food that is permissible according to Islamic law and for a meat to be certified halal it cannot be a forbidden cut such as meat from hindquarters or animal such as pork.And then we also will come across who are vegetarians who would prefer a more healthy dinner recipes and sometimes even food allergies such as lactose intolerance, nut allergies, or seafood.
Its always important to know the ethnic background of your guests will be an opportunity to understand the general profile of your guest list, so that
the events company is better prepared to begin with considering what menu options to offer as older groups of attendees may prefer a milder menu or Younger or maybe the middle-aged attendees may prefer spicier or simply more adventurous meals.
