About Us
At SMU Gourmet Club, we bring people together through the one thing everyone loves — food. Whether you're decorating bento cakes, crafting mooncakes, making mentaiko sauce, or sitting down to a heavily subsidised fine dining experience at our flagship year-end event TGIO (Thank God It’s Over), every moment with us is designed to be fun, beginner-friendly, and genuinely unforgettable.
We believe food is more than just eating. That's why everything we do comes back to F.O.O.D.
1. Friendships built over meals – because the best memories and conversations happen on the dining table.
2. Open to every foodie – no culinary experience needed, just curiosity and an appetite!
3. Original experiences – from hands-on workshops to curated dining, every event is a unique one.
4. Discover something new – there's always new flavours to be explored.
