MUSIC festival regulars know there a few things that are inevitable: the unpredictable weather, long queues at the bars and toilets, and overpriced food.

St Jerome's Laneway - taking place on Saturday - doesn't pretend it can solve everything but at least it's making efforts to not just serve punters the same old staples like sausages and kebabs.

Over the years, the festival has managed to draw some of Singapore's hippest names on the culinary scene - enough to make the food and beverage (F&B) offerings as big a draw as the indie musical acts playing, if the food porn on social media from previous years is anything to go by.
