  In recent years, there’s a growing awareness of the alarming amount of plastic pollution that we produce. In 2019, to cut down on the amount of plastic waste, more than 270 food and beverage outlets in Singapore phased out their use of disposable plastic straws.   However, plastic straws are not the only culprit either. Think of the plastic forks, spoons, and plastic wrapping around our disposable wooden chopsticks. We throw away all these whenever we take away our food. Most of the time, you receive your food in plastic or Styrofoam containers too. Even for local delights like Hainanese chicken rice, or our beloved black carrot cake, they’re in a paper wrapping lined with plastic that can’t be reused. Not to mention all the takeaway iced coffee and tea we buy every day.   A survey led by students from the National University of Singapore found that we generated an extra 1,334 tonnes of plastic waste from our takeaway and delivery meals during the 2-month circuit b...

  Ordering a  buffet delivery in Singapore  isn’t as easy as it seems. Typically, people tend to go online, look up “ buffet catering recommendation ”, scan for awhile before deciding on which caterer and you want and click on the package and check it out. But if only it was that clear cut. Now before you jump straight into ordering your next  buffet catering , you may want to first put on the brakes and go through things slowly.

  As a kid, have you ever wondered where do playgrounds come from? We would first notice the whiteboards surrounding the construction being erected first, then a few months later comes the playground that magically appears out of nowhere. But kids being kids, there was nothing interesting about the origins of these playgrounds. We just want to play on this colourful and fancy equipment that could satisfy our desires for thrill and excitement.   Of course, these playgrounds don’t just appear randomly in the middle of nowhere. They are carefully planned and installed with the help of the  playground architect ,  playground supplier  and  playground builders  in Singapore to make them happen. Design and build a playground are definitely not easy. As a  playground designer , she has to keep in mind the surroundings before coming up with a design that can blend in or enhance the surrounding; natural or man-made. For most of us, these  playground b...

What if there is a way to get back into the healthier way of eating? What if there is a way to eat home-cooked food without actually cooking at home?! Of course, there is a way and it is called a  Tingkat !! Tingkat catering  has always been part of many society’s histories and it is still in use by many communities as well. It is simply a metallic form of lunchbox then can keep the food warm and nice. Mostly used by construction workers who used to work from day to night in some countries, so that their food can still taste fresh and warm. In Singapore, we have them as a solution to our lack of cooking. Home-cooked food has always been part of every Singaporean’s childhood....

  You may have heard that while buffets are really popular among Asians, Asians are also one of the top contributors to food waste. The whole idea of buffet has been tainted by this poor reception that when everyone thinks about buffet, it’s always going to be about the “all-you-can-eat” buffet. However, buffet is not about that. What people have been misunderstanding for years is that buffet is about self-serving meals that you and I can collect at any pace, without the need for servers or waiters. In fact, we are going to talk about buffet catering services. The horrors and amount of food wastage can be seen at restaurants but what about a catered buffet? Do we also waste the same amount of food? Fortunately, we don’t! Those who have tried ordering  buffet catering  will know that it is required to send in the number of pax, you will be serving for that buffet lunch or dinner.

  Are you looking to eat healthier for the new year, but you’re not sure where to start? Instead of throwing yourself into eating super clean meals off the bat, it helps to start small and expand your diet and your palate. What most people tend to overlook when they start a new diet is whether they’ll enjoy the experience. If we jump into a new diet when we’ve never tried out health foods like quinoa or cauliflower rice, we might get turned off dieting entirely if we try to force ourselves to enjoy the experience. Moreover, when you work on accustoming yourself to different dishes, you can enjoy new culinary delights at every meal. Most of us love sticking to the food that we’re used to because it brings us comfort and we enjoy eating it. However, variety is the spice of life, and constantly eating the same few foods can lead to fatigue and boredom. With all the new food fads in Singapore nowadays, it’s the best time to try out all the different types of food. You might find your n...
