Y’all really came through, all 4000 of you!! Check out the crowd that turned up for Jazz au Jardin 😍 and how pretty is the Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage at sunset??

What an honour to host the opening of #voilah this year, and to catch @jeremymonteiro, @samythiebault, Awé, and Louis Soliano in action.

I’ve always loved listening to scat, and to be able to see Louis, SG’s Godfather of Jazz scat live gave me goosebumps. What a performance!

As always, @voilahsg has lots going on! Go check out the programme line-up on voilah.sg, it runs till Nov 27.

P.S. this was first time spending 5 hours in my @baredfootwear heels, and I could still keep going. I’m telling you, that orthotic arch is 👌🏼!!!

Last night I witnessed the first runway appearance of the finale pieces for #SingaporeStories2022. They were all stunning and super unique in their own ways. There were many “I’d wear THAT” moments for me!

Congrats to @sg.fashioncouncil for putting this together, @kavitathulasidas for your win, and all the other freakin talented designers @studio.hhfz @baelf_design @werable.co @feel.archives!

Thank you @leonardachoo @dougkhee for having me host xx

The usual mobile office set up: luggage + #iPadAir, and sitting outside to defrost cause the ACs are way.too.cold.

Visited the Agri-Food Tech Expo Asia this afternoon, and caught a glimpse of some really interesting things happening in the food tech space, especially with sustainable proteins and affordable nutrition.

We’re talking 3D printed steaks, “cows milk made without cows” (and no they’re not your oat/nut milks either!), simple solutions to lower the glycemic index (GI) of refined carbohydrates, etc. Check out my stories for snippets of what I found interesting!

It’s open to the public and runs till Friday at MBS, so check it out if you’re nerdy about food too!

#cookwithmei: 15min meals

Keeping it all in one pot here!

@whatiffoods’s instant noodles are 60% lower in fat than other brands you can find out there. They’re also higher in protein and fibre - the nutrients that help keep you fuller for longer! We’re talking 17g of protein per serving btw. For context, other noodle brands have about 8-10g per serving.

Frozen veg are my favourite especially for a quick meal. They’re just as nutritious as their fresh counterparts, so you’re not missing out, and you’re gaining lots of time on your hands!

A rough recipe I use for the sausse:
1 tbsp tahini (or natural peanut butter)
½ tbsp chinese black vinegar
½ tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp chilli (I use Lao Gan Ma)
Drizzle of sesame oil
A splash of water, as needed, to thin out the sauce

Thank you @prestigesg for recognising me in moments where I shy away from doing so!

I often get asked how/why I decided to pursue my career as a nutritionist. In short, I felt frustrated at how difficult it was to navigate the maze of information around nutrition! 😵‍💫😵‍💫

I wanted to be equipped with the knowledge to help myself and my loved ones to live our best lives through the food we eat, and to improve nutrition literacy for everyone.

My mission is to continue sharing practical and useful nutrition tips. Tips to help improve your health and relationship with food. Anddd I hope that you’ve gained a tip (or two!) so far from being here 🙂

How apt to be posting this on the first day of my team’s expansion. Who knew 7 years ago that I’d be saying this :’)

Thank you for all your support! 💙💙

This is a really easy method I’ve picked up from my facials at CHANEL Privé that I practice everyday. It helps to stimulate blood flow and boost the effectiveness of the #N1DECHANEL serum. Try it for a little pampering at home!

My favourite festival is back again!! 🥳🇫🇷

My favourite festival is back again!! 🥳🇫🇷

#vOilah kicks off exactly 2 weeks from now, and there’s lots going on as usual.

I’m most looking forward to the French Film Festival (17-27 Nov) and the French Foodie Market place (26-27 Nov), and ofc the opening concert, Jazz au Jardin at the Botanic Gardens (29 Oct), which I’ll be hosting.

PS if you’re a fan of Yang Ming Seafood (rly good tze char), there will be a dinner there with wine pairing from Château Cos d’Estournel (2 Nov)!

During the media launch we also spoke about @voilahsg’s continuous efforts to work towards becoming Singapore’s first net-zero festival through their effort to reduce CO2 emissions. Together with @engie, they collected data on the carbon footprint of last year’s festival, and this now allows them to see how they can do things a little differently this year. It’s not easy, it’s gonna take a while, but hopefully we see positive results, and more festivals doing the same.

Allez, see you at the festival!

3 ways to lower your carbon footprint through your food choices:

𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞
= lower carbon footprint
= more nutritious (bc fresh foods lose nutrients by the min!)

𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞
1. Finish the food on your plate (bc incinerating food waste is highly inefficient due to its high water content)
2. Store food appropriately

My best tip for keeping fresh greens perky 👉🏼 place a small cotton cloth in the bag to soak up any condensation; or place leaves in a salad spinner. WORKS ALL THE TIME!

𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐲
Include plant proteins in your diet. It’s less carbon-, water-, and land-intensive. It’s better for your heart health, as well as the health of the planet 🫀💚 win-win!

Just a few things shared last week with #adidasRunnersSG. Hopefully this would inspire you to pick up a new habit!

Thank you team #adidasSG for arranging a post-workout snack with the lowest possible food miles and packaging as requested! 🤓
