Now that circuit breaker measures have been extended till June, many are polishing their cooking skills, and for those sick of ordering delivery, several Singaporean food pros have stepped in with simple recipes your mother would approve of.
Here are three foodies with scrumptious recipes you can follow without breaking a sweat.
Based in Melbourne, Singaporean chef and author Pamelia Chia shares mouthwatering recipes for dishes such as curry chicken and ang ku kueh (red tortoise cake, a Chinese mung bean-filled pastry) through instructional videos with easy-to-follow instructions via Instagram.
One visually stunning recipe is for one of Singapore’s favorite savory snacks, the curry puff. The narrated, professional video clocks in at about five minutes and takes aspiring chefs through every step.
Chia said she created the platform to educate people on the food kind of daily food Singaporeans cook and eat. It features dishes from Chinese, Malay, Indian, Peranakan and Eurasian cuisine.
Her passion project, named Singapore Noodles, refers to a fried noodle dish that doesn’t even exist in Singapore but is sold in many parts of Australia. Chia saw it as an opportunity to introduce dishes that authentically represent Singapore’s diverse food culture.

Singapore food blogger Julia Khoo, who seems to never run out of ideas, has been posting daily meals during the circuit breaker period along with recipes for some favorite home-cooked dishes.
Egg soup is one of many dishes packed with savory goodness she has shared. Her post lists the needed few ingredients and necessary instructions.
Otherwise, her page is filled with beautiful shots of her meals, complete with cooking tips like ways to enhance flavor. They are perfect for daily food inspiration.
Inspired by her grandmother’s cooking, a blogger identified only as Serene posts her attempts at recreating her grandmother’s dishes and takes on other cuisines, such as white radish chicken soup and coconut and lentil dahl on Instagram.
She recently recreated her grandmother’s signature dish, salted egg steamed tofu and posted all the ingredients, including minced pork and prawns, along with instructions.
Serene’s love for her grandmother’s food began when she was studying overseas. It led her to learn how to recreate the recipes, which launched her interset in cooking.
She wishes more people could learn how to cook the dishes that they grew up eating with their families and cherish those passed down through generations.
