Got leftover rice? Don’t let it go to waste!
I’ve been air‑frying mine and OMG — it turns into the crunchiest, yummiest salad topping ever. 🥗✨

Any rice works, but using flavoured rice (think garlic rice, turmeric rice, fried rice, coconut rice…) takes it to a whole new level. Just pop it in the air fryer until golden and crispy, then sprinkle over your salad for extra texture and flavour.

Zero waste. Maximum crunch. 10/10 recommend. 🔥🍚💚

🍜✨ Instant noodles usually get a bad rap among health nuts — and honestly, for good reason. More than 90% are deep-fried and basically empty calories.
But let’s be real… there’s nothing more comforting than slurping hot noodles in a steaming bowl of soup on a cold winter night (or after a few drinks). It just hits different.

So when this healthier version was introduced to me, I had high hopes. From my POV, it has huge potential — it just needs a few tweaks:

1️⃣ A little more spice and texture (think dried spring onions or freeze-dried egg bits like you get in Korean and Japanese cup noodles)
2️⃣ Looser noodle strands during drying — right now it clumps together instead of fluffing up in the cup
3️⃣ A richer, more opaque broth for better mouthfeel — good broth usually gets that depth from collagen and slow-simmered ingredients

Happy to be a taste tester and give feedback anytime 👀
I really hope this improves and fills the gap for a healthy cup noodle option.

Next up: trying the pasta and rice range… stay tuned ✨

Living in Australia has its perks, but my heart (and stomach) will always belong to the SG hawker center. 🇸🇬🥘 also happy to be at where Lady gaga sat

I didn’t realize how spoilt we were until I moved away. There’s truly nothing like the magic of a $5 Michelin-level meal, the chaotic clatter of trays, and the “auntie” who knows your Kopi order by heart, and call you “handsome” 帅哥。

In SG, you can satisfy a 12 PM or a 12 AM craving within a 5-minute walk. It may not all be healthy but still more nutritious than some ultra processed ready-to-eat meals.
To my friends back home: Don’t take that neighborhood corner for granted. Smile brighter at your kopi auntie uncle

✨ Hello all!! I’m Chad – welcome (back) to !

Thought I’d reintroduce myself! I’m an Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian (Dietitians Australia) with a decade of experience helping people/patients connect food, health, and wellbeing.

This page is where research meets real life — food, health, and practical ways to live well. 🍎📚

Excited to share more of this journey with you — thanks for being here! 🙌 Follow for more!

I’ve been seeing weight loss “GLP-1” patches claiming to work like those injections. Answer is no. At least not yet, so don’t go order them online :)
