Update January 2023: Boon’s Noodles has closed.

Chillax Asia, the largest annual event by the Singapore Bakery & Confectionary Trade Association, returns this year with over 140 food, beverage, and confectionary exhibitors for a weekend showcase at Marina Bay Sands Expo Hall A from 25 to 27 July 2019.
