Come early and bring cash.
Come Early
No matter which seating you’re intending to attend, it’s always a good idea to arrive early, just before doors open, to beat the crowds. This way, you’ll be able to secure a table of your choice and get your food while the lines are short. A hot tip: when the doors open, people tend to congregate near the stalls at the entrance. Walk towards the stalls at the farthest end of the festival space to beat the queues.
Invest In VIP tickets
Avoid the lines altogether by investing in VIP tickets. At $200 each, VIP ticket holders will be seated in an exclusive VIP area and served a glass of wine and beer, a bottle of evian or Badoit water and a portion of food from all stalls at the festival. Grab your tickets soon as there are only 88 VIP seats per session.
Go In A Group
With 15 participating food stalls and several more drinks and desserts booths, you’re not going to be able to eat the entire portion from every vendor. Now, if you want to try as much as possible, your best bet is to go in a big group. Sharing the dishes with friends ensure you get a taste of everything.

Go in a group to divide and conquer.
Divide And Conquer
If you are going in a group, employ this strategy to chope a table and get in several lines simultaneously. Have each dining companion queue up for a different stall till you have a decent amount of food and claim a table to share all those delicious treats. Repeat the whole exercise till you’ve tried everything and everyone is satisfied.
Bring The Whole Family
Make a day of it for the whole family at the MICHELIN Guide Street Food Festival 2019. Take the kids on a fun day out at Resorts World Sentosa before heading to The Coliseum where the festival will be held. Introduce your children to your favourite heritage hawkers like Ji Ji Wonton Noodle, New Ubin Seafood, Rolina Traditional Hainanese Curry Puff and Tai Wah Pork Noodle, which will be all gathered under one roof. Did we mention that kids under age six enter free?

Stay Hydrated
You’ll need something to wash down all the delicious food. Beverage booths at the festival include evian and Badoit — where you can pick up a complimentary bottle of water with the coupon included with your regular ticket — and Wine Portal, which will be pouring out craft beer and affordable wines and champagne by the glass sourced from its wide-ranging network.
Charge Your Phone
These days, the camera always eats first. Whether it’s for the ’gram or to contact your friends who’ve wandered off after too much food and drink, you’ll be needing your phone. Use the hashtag #MICHELINGuideStreetFoodFestival.
