Gordon Ramsay accepts Singapore’s hawker food challenge

SINGAPORE – It’s on.

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has officially accepted a challenge from a group of local food bloggers and SingTel to see if Singapore’s hawker food can match up to the standards of the prestigious Michelin Guide.

The culinary contest will see Ramsay pit his skills against three hawkers, who will be selected through a public poll on the HungryGoWhere website, in a cook-off.

“Frankly, I’m not an expert on Singapore food. I’m not sure it is as good as the Singaporeans actually say it is. Trust me, I’ve got to see this for myself and see what they have to offer,” Ramsay said in a video response (see above).

“One thing I’m certain of is that people like my version better.

“SingTel, I truly accept your challenge. Game on.”

Game on, Gordon.
