How could I avoid thinking of the words of Anton Ego, the fictional acerbic food critic from Ratatouille, as I sifted through over 150 applications from 26 countries with my jury fellows?


“In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. […] But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends.”


Therefore, now more than ever in this 8th edition of the Future Food Asia Awards, it is with a pinch of admiration, a dash of humility, and a great dose of excitement that we present to you today the 11 finalists who will take the stage on 15 & 16 May at the FFA Conference in Singapore.
