When it comes to food in Singapore, anyone along the street is able to rattle off a few food dishes that are famous and representative of Singapore. Even when tourists arrive in Singapore, there are a few must-try food dishes for them to savour and allow the taste to linger in their memories.

In this joint stamp issue, selected food from Macao, together with our own "must-try" Singapore food are featured. The dishes are Chicken Rice, Laksa, Roti Prata and Satay [each 65 cents] from Singapore, coupled with famous dishes from Macao e.g. Crispy Fried Chicken, Yangzhou Fried Rice, Meat Stew "Alentejana" style and Grilled Codfish slices [each 1st Local]. In addition, a miniature sheet featuring Clay Pot Rice [with $2 value] from Macao and Chilli Crab [with $2 value] from Singapore, serves the table with variety and to further entice the taste buds of Singaporeans.

This set of stamps will be launched in conjunction with the Singapore Food Festival, organised by the Singapore Tourism Board, at Lau Pa Sat on 04 Jul. Special theme day datestamps for On-the-Spot personalised cover will be available at the SingPost Booth from 04 to 06 Jul 2008.
