  1. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 EGG IN A CUP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A protein hit nostalgia, soft boiled eggs, cut with a knife in a cup with butter, salt and pepper. A snack that really winds the clock back for me 🥹 Who else ate this growing up? #scotland #egg #egginacup #protein #snack

  2. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 MILLIONAIRE SHORTBREAD 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 This was my ultimate fave tray bake when I was a kid, and I have been asked for this recipe so many times! Fills an 8” x 10” (20 x 26cm) tin Shortbread 150g plain flour sifted 50g cornflour (starch)sifted 160g butter (softened) 85g caster sugar Pinch salt Combine all ingredients in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment and mix till combined. Roll out to a rough rectangle no bigger than your greased tin and place within. Cut to fit using excess to fill corners. Prick all over with a fork and bake at 160c (fan forced) for 20 mins. Cool in tin. Caramel 160g butter 160g soft brown sugar 395g tin sweetened condensed milk 3 tbsp golden syrup 1 tsp smoked salt flakes Few drops vanilla extract Put all ingredients apart from salt and vanilla into a saucepan and heat gently till combined. Simmer and stir for at least 10-15 minutes till darker in colour & thickened. Add the salt and vanilla essence and mix well, pour carefully over the shortbread and tap tin on worktop to distribute evenly. Pop into fridge to set. Once set, melt 80g of each plain and dark chocolate. Stir thoroughly then pour over the caramel. Tap tap tap on worktop to level out and back in fridge to set. Using a sharp knife cut into squares and enjoy! I like keeping mine in fridge - enjoy! PS sorry about the fingerprints 🤦🏼‍♀️ #millionaireshortbread #shortbread #caramel #chocolate #traybake

  3. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 PIECE & CRISPS 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 So in the social media whirlwind of Crisp charcuterie let’s have a moment for the original, the classic, piece and crisps (as it’s called in Glasgow) or a Crisp sandwich… soft white bread spread thickly with salted butter, layered with - my preference - salt and vinegar crisps. I think my school lunches were 90% made like this. What do you call it? When did you last eat it? What flavour crisps would you choose? I have not eaten this in ages, and oh my it hit the spot 😂😂 #crisp #sandwich #scottishfood #nostalgia #snacks

  1. Half Malay so honestly the “croissant and matcha” agenda never really stood a chance 😏 Give me char koay teow fried over roaring heat, silky chee cheong fun with sweet shrimp sauce, peanut pancakes hot off the griddle, yum cha dim sum and smoky sambal stingray straight off the grill.
    164.9k
  2. What a privilege it is to come from a culture where food isn’t just food. It’s satay smoke in the air, dim sum shared around a table, char koay teow cooked to order, grilled seafood at plastic tables, chee cheong fun for breakfast, steamed fish for family dinners, and chicken rice you’ll spend years craving. 🇲🇾🥢 📍Singapore, Penang + Kuala Lumpur

  3. The best food in the world usually comes with plastic chairs. Penang char kway teow from New Lane Hawker Centre. A line of locals waiting patiently for their turn, noodles cooked over charcoal and enough wok hei to remind me why I never stop talking about Malaysian food. 📍 Penang, Malaysia 🇲🇾

  1. I’ve shared some images from this same venue using straight flash with no umbrella. If you can remember/find them and compare to the images in this reel it’s a great insight into the difference bouncing light off an umbrella can make… All images edited with my “Taste” presets - link in bio 🥟 #melbournefoodphotographer #melbournefoodporn #thefarecreative #foodphotography #flashfoodphotography #foodorn #foodreel #melbournefoodscene #canonaustralia #godox #restaurantphotography

  2. I’m usually one for shooting breakfast/cafe menus with natural - but the combination of using a large umbrella and ambient light provided some really nice soft shadows, with great pops of colour.

  3. Entire shoot shot on my 24-70 2.8 with a single flash and umbrella lighting set up ⚡️ I set the flash a little further away (about 2m) from the table than I normally would - can you see a difference?

  3. As the last of the autumn leaves fade, the city starts to bloom with spring flowers and blossoms🌸🌷🌺 Melbourne’s beautiful transition from autumn 🍂 to spring 🌸is defined by its changing foliage and the shift to sunnier, warmer weather, with peak autumn leaf colours appearing from March to May and spring blooming starting in September. During this time, you can enjoy a variety of activities from walking through leafy neighbourhoods and gardens to experiencing festivals and alfresco dining. Enjoy longer sunny days by strolling through parks, visiting outdoor markets, and enjoying rooftop bars and cafes.

  1. Trusting the process when the process is empty 🧵🥲 . . . . . #sewingjourney #sewing #sewingtutorial #sewingmachine #sewinglessons

  2. 1. Start with scrappy fabric – Don’t sacrifice your nice material first. Use that random tote bag from a festival in 2016. Trust me, mistakes hurt less on freebies. 2. Pins are your best mates – I think of them as tiny traffic cones telling your fabric to stay in your lane 3. The seam ripper is also your best friend. Messed up? No stress. Every sewer has a love-hate situationship with their seam ripper. Unpicking needs to be normalised. 4. Iron like your life depends on it – I never used to press my seams and my god does it make a difference. Pressing makes your project look 10x more professional. Wrinkly fabric is giving Year 9 DT class energy. 5. Patience > Speed – I’ve learnt sewing machines are basically toddlers: go too fast, and they throw a tantrum. Slow and steady wins the stitch. . . . . . . #diy #sewing #diysewing #sewist #handmade #thrifted #secondhandfabric #fyp #vintage #sewingtok #sewingtiktok #sewingtutorial #melbourne #spotlight #australia #britinaustralia

  1. Chef of the Year who turned down Culinary Wars🧑‍🍳 Meet @chae_melbourne , one of the most passionate chefs I’ve met. She ferments her own sauces, condiments, and kombucha, and has won consecutive Two Hat awards from @goodfoodau We waited two years for a booking! 🫡 Flavours are light and not too overpowering but what makes it special is Chae herself, she loves creating intimate dining experiences over competition 🥺 📍Chae - 33 Mountain Rd, Cockatoo VIC [Came here as customers] 🏷️ #melbournefoodie #melbourneeats #melbournefood #melbourne #melbournerestaurants #koreanfood #viralfood

  1. 🔥 CWD EPISODE 1: SINGAPORE CHILLI CRAB 🦀 Really nothing better than big, juicy NT mud crabs slathered in sweet, spicy and salty chilli sauce. It’s arguably the most iconic Singaporean dish that’s often imitated but rarely done well. My dad’s a classically trained French chef with a lifelong obsession with perfecting the Singaporean dishes that we all grew up eating. Drop a comment and I’ll share the top secret ingredients for his chilli sauce. ➡️ FOLLOW along for more mouthwatering recipes 🤤 - - - #food #highprotein #mealprep #cheapeats #cheapmeals #flavourtown #singapore #singaporelife #seafood #recipes

  2. 🔥 CWD EPISODE 2: GEYLANG BEEF HOR FUN 🍜 The saucy, beefy rice noodle dish that’s packed with immense flavour in every bite. You’ll see many versions of Hor Fun but this is my favourite style purely because of the incredible dark gravy. This was one of my dad’s signature dishes at his restaurant - drop a comment if you want to see more of his famous dishes like Hokkien Mee and black pepper crab. P.S I know that’s not why it’s called Hor Fun 😉 ➡️ FOLLOW along for more mouthwatering recipes 🤤 - - - #food #highprotein #mealprep #cheapeats #cheapmeals #flavourtown #singapore #singaporelife #seafood #recipes #malaysia #singaporefood

  3. A simpler, juicier way to enjoy the bold flavor of Black Pepper Crab! 🦀✨ Skip the frying and instead simmer the whole crab in a rich, fragrant black pepper sauce. This simple twist makes the crab meat incredibly moist and succulent, while letting the black pepper's sharp aroma shine through. 🧂💯 What's your go-to spice when cooking seafood?

  1. (RECIPE)This nostalgic dish is as easy as you see it, you cook it and it simply turns out delicious to the max! 🥢✨ Braised Pork Belly with Mei Cai (Mui Choy) — a dish that brings back memories of home, slow-cooked comfort, and the kind of flavour you can never forget. Every bite is tender, rich, and beautifully balanced with the sweetness & saltiness of the preserved mustard greens. Perfect with a bowl of hot rice or porridge! 🍚 It’s one of those recipes that reminds me how the simplest ingredients can turn into something truly special when cooked with heart. Is this classic dish nostalgic to you? HOW TO COOK: Serves: 4–6 Ingredients: • 800g pork belly without skin, cut into 1½ cm thick slices • 400g preserved mustard vegetable (Mei Gan Cai 梅干菜), soaked in water for 30 minutes or as per package instructions, washed, then drained and squeezed dry. Cut into 3 cm lengths if needed. • 50g rock sugar (adjust to taste) • 2 slices ginger • 2 star anise • 1 dried bay leaf • Water, enough to almost cover the pork mixture Seasoning: • 1–2 Tbsp light soy sauce, to taste • 1½ Tbsp oyster sauce • 1½ Tbsp Shao Xing wine Method: 1. Heat a little oil in a wok and brown the pork belly on both sides until lightly golden. 2. Transfer the pork into a pot. 3. Add all the remaining ingredients and seasonings. 4. Cover with a lid, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. 5. Braise gently until the pork is tender and the sauce has slightly thickened. 6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. 7. Serve hot with steamed rice. #feastbysandra #asianfood #chinesefood #chinesecooking #soyummy #melbournefoodie #foodidea #reel #foodreel #homecookedmeal #homecooking #comfortfood #delicious

  2. Tag someone who'd love this! Rediscovering a childhood passion with a twist of tradition! I’ve been hand-moulding these savory Hoppo (Hakka Chai Ban/河婆菜粄) kuih since I was young, always making plenty for the big family. Yet, I always wished I’d learned the perfect dough-making secret (not just the basic of mixing rice flour & tapioca starch) from the close relative, who was the dough master behind these beloved treats, sooner. During my recent trip back to Ipoh, Malaysia, I finally got the chance to learn the authentic technique from another true guru of Chai Ban—my aunty! Huge thanks to my SIL @peppered.in.love for making this special learning session happen. Feeling grateful and inspired! 😘 Our filling featured leeks tossed with fried shrimp and fried tofu. We often enhance it with ingredients like Chinese chives, pickled mustard greens, jicama, and even pork. That day, we also crafted a triangle-shaped version with salted peanuts. This traditional snack may not be as common as other kuihs, but that’s no excuse for us in the family not to safeguard its family's recipe and pass it on to the future generation before it disappears. Have you ever tried this unique savoury vegetable kuih before? #feastbysandra #asianfood #traditionalfood #instafood #foodlover #河婆菜粄 #chinesefood #heritagefood #snacks #soyummy #homemadefood Have you tried it before?

  3. Everyone is talking about the “viral no-water chicken”… but getting natural soup from chicken without adding water isn’t actually new. It’s a cooking technique many home cooks have quietly been using for years — including in my kitchen. The real secrets are actually very simple: 1️⃣ The vegetables you use. Chinese cabbage (Wombok) is one of the best for releasing natural juices. Other ingredients like tomato, radish, onion, leek, carrot, zucchini, tofu, or even certain fruits can also release moisture — though usually not as much as Wombok. 2️⃣ Gentle simmering. Low heat but still steaming, lid on, and time. This slowly draws out the natural juices from the vegetables and chicken. Some viral posts suggest simmering for 2 hours just to extract more liquid. But cooking the chicken (which is almost at a room temperature) that long will make the meat overly soft and falling off the bone. Unless you like mushy chicken, that’s not ideal. Usually 45 minutes to 1 hour is more than enough, depending on the size of the chicken. If a whole chicken is used, cut into 2 halves for easier extracting the juice. If you’re using smaller portions of chicken like chicken Maryland or thigh, even less than 45 minutes is sufficient. Also consider the type of chicken —firmer free-range chicken may need slightly longer, while regular farm chicken softens more quickly. What matters most is this: ✔️ The chicken, which is the core ingredient, should be tender, juicy, and still slightly firm, not falling apart. ✔️ And while this dish won’t produce a big pot of soup realistically, you will definitely get a flavourful natural sauce from the ingredients. Not exactly soup, but a delicious saucy broth perfect with steamed rice, noodles or eating it as it is. 🌟Save this tip for your next chicken dish! -Have you tried cooking chicken this way before? -Do you have a similar cooking technique in your kitchen? I’d love to hear. #feastbysandra #asianfood #chinesecooking #instafood #melbournefoodie

  3. Let’s make Japan’s most dangerous drink 🤫 We combined Japan’s legendary convenience store alcohol with a classic vanilla treat to create what we call the “Heavenly Smoothie.” 🧊🍦🍺 How to make it: 1️⃣ Get a cup of ice 🧊 2️⃣ Pour in the Strong Zero (500ml / ¥240) 🍋 3️⃣ Mix it with Coolish vanilla (¥180) 🍦 👉 Stir it well and enjoy the “danger”! 🥤 📍 Any Japanese Convenience Store (7-Eleven, Lawson, FamilyMart) 🤫 FOLLOW @captain.japan1 for more “Insider” Japan secrets you won’t find in guidebooks. #strongzero #tokyonight #shibuyameltdown #traveljapan #japanesedrink 💬 Is Strong Zero Overrated or Underrated? Or is it just a 10/10 or 0/10? Let me know your honest opinion (and your craziest story) in the comments!

  1. I kept telling everyone I had food themed coasters with faces on them from Korea and I think I became a broken record - I love how these look on my fridge and dining space and am obsessseeeeddddd with how fun they are. 📌 Object 🏠 326-2 Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea ⏰ Trading Hours: 11am - 9pm, 7 days a week. Go to this store next time you’re in South Korea if you’re looking for cute stationery, homewares and posters - I have so much I haven’t been able to put up yet! What do you think of these? Cute? #koreatravelguide #koreatravel #southkoreatrip #koreashopping #stationerystore #hongdae #hongdaestreet #mapogukorea

  2. 🍓 Have you ever seen a strawberry cake as perfect as this one? We got this from @rafre_fruit in Seoul, they also make other chiffon cakes just like it. The fruit was layered so beautifully that every single bite had fresh strawberries 🍓 The sponge was light and airy, and the cream was unbelievably fluffy. It wasn’t overly sweet either!! The perfect strawberry cake, and one of the best I’ve ever had! 🇰🇷🍰 A must go when you’re in Seoul 🩷 - 🏷️ #southkorea #food #seoul #korean #korea #cafe #dessert #dessertcafe #cafeseoul #fruit #strawberrys #foodie #strawberries #strawberrycake #cakes #aesthetic

  3. Cơm Gà Xối Mỡ (waterfall fried chicken with rice) is a beloved dish in Ho Chi Minh City. The chicken is fried using a unique “waterfall” method, where hot oil is continuously poured over it, creating crispy skin and tender meat. A famous spot for this dish is Cơm Gà Xối Mỡ Su Su at 55 Tú Xương, District 3. Served with rice, dipping sauce, and seaweed soup, it’s often paired with drinks like pennywort juice or corn milk. This iconic dish is a must-try for an authentic Vietnamese food experience. 🇻🇳✨ - 🏷️ #travel #vietnam #vietnamese #việtnam #vietnamtravel #vietnamfood #vietnamesefood #vietfood #chicken #friedchicken #viral #food #foodie #foodielife #saigon
