Highlights of Food & Hospitality Asia 2026
The recently concluded trade event has showcased new food products and gadgets that could appear on Singapore shelves soon
[SINGAPORE] For four days ending on Apr 24, 2,750 exhibitors from around the world converged on Singapore Expo for Food & Hospitality Asia (FHA) 2026 – showcasing new food, wine and gadgets to prospective distributors in the local F&B industry.
With exhibits from some 110 countries spread over 10 exhibition halls, the variety on show was staggering. Among them were some new-to-market products that might hit the shelves in Singapore soon – if not already.
Delta coffee
Portugal may not be first in mind when talking about coffee, but its Delta brand has been around since 1961 and is one of the country’s most recognised coffee brands. The brand boasts more than 60 coffee varieties, premium Arabica blends and slow, low-temperature roasting.
It is hoping to expand in the Asian region with Singapore as its hub. Look out for its bestselling Delta Platinum – a blend of American arabica and African robusta. This hand-crafted dark roast coffee has hints of fruit and sweetness. Espresso lovers will find its Delta Gold medium roast to be rich in honey and ripe fruit.
Chateau 9 Peaks
Chinese winemaker Chateau 9 Peaks made its Singapore debut at ProWine, held in conjunction with FHA. Already present in Europe and Japan, the winery is expanding in Asia and sees Singapore as a strategic gateway to the region.
It is known for the Qi labels (red and white) which have been highly rated by wine publication The Wine Advocate and wine critic James Suckling. First released in 2015, the white is made from 100 per cent chardonnay and described as a wine with complex aromas with minerality and butterscotch, as well as a silky texture.

The red – first released in 2013 – is a blend of cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot and marselan, with aromas of black fruit and flavours of chocolate and fresh red fruit. It is already distributed locally by Baozun Etrade Asia.
Heinzelmann Chef-X
Existing or aspiring Thermomix owners looking to level up their cooking game could consider adding the Heinzelmann Chef-X to their arsenal instead. This heavy-duty, professional-grade machine is favoured by chefs and easily mastered by home cooks, too.
Just like the Thermomix, this multifunctional machine easily replaces many home gadgets as it chops, blends and cooks all in the same bowl. Make kaya or chicken curry easily without slaving over a stove. Priced at S$2,800, it comes with a complimentary Chef-G grinder. It is already distributed in Singapore by The Madison Group Asia. To buy, e-mail SGMarketing@TheMadisonGroup.Asia or call 8835-9656.
Ion Bottleless Water Cooler
If you are still buying sparkling water, fit your home (or office) with an Ion Bottleless Water Cooler – a sleek countertop gadget that gives you access to fresh filtered water at any temperature you desire. Its activated carbon filter makes tap water taste pure and almost sweet, while its built-in sensors deliver ambient, cold or hot-temperature water for coffee or refreshing lemonade.
The US-made gadget is distributed by The Madison Group Asia. To buy, email SGMarketing@TheMadisonGroup.Asia or call 8835-9656.
Happy Spoon peanut butter
Peanut butter gets a local spin with Happy Spoon, which was unveiled at FHA by Singapore-owned Naspac Marketing as a fresh reinvention of a familiar favourite. Developed by the Naspac team in Singapore and crafted in Canada’s rich farmlands using home-grown quality roasted peanuts, it delivers hearty satisfaction in both smooth and crunchy versions. It will be available at NTUC Fairprice from May 1.
Singapore snails
Step aside, sturgeon caviar. Snail eggs, anyone? One of the more eye-catching items on show at FHA, the brined white caviar is marketed as a high-end delicacy by Singapore’s only snail farm, Wholesnail.
The heliciculture specialists produce ready-to-eat escargots and cosmeceutical-grade snail slime, which is said to be a key ingredient in certain anti-ageing products. But gourmets can stick to enjoying their snails baked in butter and herbs, or step out of their caviar comfort zone with this new topping for blinis.
Copenhagen Distillery
Denmark-based Copenhagen Distillery made a name for itself with its distinctive Danish whiskies made with organic barley. It is now pushing into Asia with a Singapore-exclusive label that is sold in Takashimaya.
Aged in Hungarian oak casks, the Singapore limited edition is part of the brand’s Rare collection and is inspired by the ageing processes of port wine. Boasting a sweeter and smoother profile, the whisky is priced at S$480.
