SingTel Hawker Heroes Challenge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The SingTel Hawker Heroes Challenge was organised by SingTel and was held on 7 July 2013 at the Newton Food Centre. Live streaming of the challenge was broadcast by Singtel on its HungryGoWhere portal,[1] as well as the announcement of results on Mio TV. The challenge involved popular television personality and UK chef, Gordon Ramsay, pitting his skills against a group of chosen food hawkers in Singapore.
On 5 June 2013, Singapore food bloggers and Singtel submitted a challenge to Gordon Ramsay to compete in a cook-off with top hawkers in Singapore. Ramsay accepted the challenge on 24 June.[2]
Voting began on 25 June with 12 food hawkers selected around Singapore.[3]
The top 3 winning hawkers were then chosen on 3 July to compete against Ramsay in the final showdown.[4]
