    A "Farmer To Table" Dining Pop-Up with SaveAGram produce in Singapore

    Sustainability, Natural, Real-Food have become buzz words, but how many of these do really address the cause? Who am I to question, but these are things that are very close to my heart, philosophy and therefore this cause, mission, menu will always remain special. Having done a few restaurant pop-ups, this is a great opportunity to do a private dining pop-up, at Ms. Amala's. She is the founder of SaveAGram, a social enterprise that believes in fair trade and was formed to sup

    It is special. MasterChef Singapore's 2-part episode.

    MasterChef Singapore’s latest 2-part Special episodes, benefitting President’s Challenge and Social Service Agencies are very special to me. It is a show of commitment (pun intended) from the MasterChef Singapore family, something we all truly believe in. MasterChef Singapore has become a platform for every person in Singapore with an F&B dream irrespective of the background or circumstance. The episodes are about food, the food-people with, an element of surprise, rules that

    Looking to have a good time eating healthy? Book Dinner, April 3rd at RedDot BrewHouse, Boat Quay

    I cannot stress the importance to destress, enough. This most often translates to planning a vacation or a quick getaway, but that means time away from work, applying for leave or taking time off. I have led a corporate life, and I understand. But there have been times when I would just want a small break, a getaway without travel, a down time and a good time with my friends or even the partner/spouse. There have been times that when even a team building or a charity activity

    Episode 5: This week there was something special in store for us. We were up really early for this challenge. Still groggy, taking naps between nooks and corners, we entered into a Cold Storage for this challenge. Judge Bjorn explains that this is a team challenge where we have a super-sized pantry, the entire store to our disposal!! Judge Damian briefs us that we have 60 minutes to prepare a main course and dessert and work within a budget of $50 to buy the ingredients. It i

    Episode 4: This week we entered the MasterChef Kitchen and saw the big “Famous” boxes. It was the mystery box challenge!! With mixed thoughts and feelings, we all stood at our respective stations. Judge Audra explained that the mystery box is  composed of very different ingredients but they all represented one basic taste. We opened the boxes and saw 8 varieties of traditional sugars: Jaggery, Candied Winter Melon, Palm sugar, Goji berry, Chinese Rock sugar, Granulated orange

    Episode 3 Episode 3 This was a massive challenge, of elephantine proportions. I told my mind, “you are in charge today, don’t let any other part of the body tell you otherwise.” We were split into two teams of 4, @AaronWong - Blue team captain and @NicholasKoh - Red team captain. We were all booted for our first exposure into a commercial kitchen. I was in the Blue team with @ZansNhl, @ShamsydarAni and Captain Aaron. Aaron as a team leader is one of the best I have known. The

    Episode 2: I had lost track of time, day and date. I was spending an unreasonable amount of time with nine others. I was getting to know way too many details about them in such a short amount of time. A fun bunch of people, I had an eerie feeling that I would be stuck with them for life. The Top Ten: I saw myself nodding to everything they had to say about themselves. It was bizarre. It felt like they were describing me. I realised that I was with nine others who were as idio

    Episode 1: 18 is a magic number as it ushers you into adulthood. MasterChef Singapore was a coming of age for me. I was confirmed to be in the top 18. The casting team took care of us through a hard and gruelling day. As our custodians, they were continually carrying our water, wallets, phones and tending to our wellbeing while we performed our challenges. The top 18 are a fun bunch, each a brushstroke to the canvas that became the very frame of season 1. I struggled to remem
