Say What?

We Singaporeans love to eat and we're not the least bit shy about it. Turn every corner & you're bound to find food, whether on the table on sale or already in someone's mouth. Our national hobby is our pride, and thanks to the thousands of foodies and reviewers out there, it’s already so easy to sniff out the best food around the country!

But you know, there's an equally colourful scene in the erm, unseen. For all the restaurants /cafes /bistros /hawker centres /coffeeshops we have out there, there are just as many home food businesses waiting for me (& you) to discover! Read about the posh nosh online bakery that the papers are raving about? Or remember the makcik-next-door who sells curry puffs and kueh for a living? And what about the nice lady who makes awesome muruku?

These people may be cooking/baking the best God-given Earthly pleasures, and yet we may not even come near to enlightenment simply because they don't have a real, physical shop to sell their stuff!

Now I'll do the ordering and trying, and all you gotta do is read about how good or bad it was! Or better yet... Write in to recommend me your auntie who sells killer chicken paos. Or your cousin who makes the cutest piglet-shaped mooncakes. You must remember, I can't taste everything unless there's the Halal chop you know.

So how? Sounds good?

All right. We're all good to go. Here's cheers to our gastronomic discoveries and our Pursuit of Yumminess!!
