Ever scrolled through your Instagram account on a dreary afternoon only to see high definition, complete with bokeh and OCD-ish plating images of #foodporn your dear Instagram chef/crush/lead in your romantic fantasies just whipped up in the kitchen?
I can’t promise you their hand in marriage or a marriage proposal, but I definitely can give you more of such people to crush on. Here are 9 of the best #foodporn accounts to follow in Singapore, in no particular order.
Having followed him not too long after he created his account, my heart cries every single time a picture of his creations – or as a mere plebeian like me might call it – masterpiece, pops up on my Instagram feed.
But can you blame me?
“Vegan vegetable tart- almond flour tart, hummus, cucumber, carrot, eggplant, butternut squash, chives and espelette pepper.
Recently got challenged to make a vegan dish and I love a food challenge. Who said dietary restrictions have to be boundaries, they could be opportunities to think out of the box” – Lennard
And here I am gnawing at my Hersheys bar and eating leftover oranges from CNY in front of a dustbin.
If you need proof that Lennard eats normal food, here.
“Whoever said that hawker food isn’t beautiful?” quoted from the man himself.
Talk about bang for your buck.
On first look, I thought this picture was the usual #foodporn image of some lava cake from a random cafe. But nope. This was whipped up by her when she was craving for chocolate.
I’m too lazy to even walk to my fridge for chocolate when I’m craving some. This girl whips up a molten lava cake, artfully plates it, snaps, edits, posts and captions it.
Sigh.
I can’t even remember what I did last Saturday.
Meanwhile the only way I’m waffling is between eating my cereal with or without milk.
Baking and cooking are two different things, I know. But if you think this girl can only bake, boy are you wrong.
” Decided to invest in a tiny bottle of white truffle oil, so I will no longer be held ransom by cafés for their eggs 😀 Here’s softly set truffled scramble with roasted cherry tomatoes-on-the-vine and asparagus, grilled homemade challah bread.”
What many may not know is that behind her account lies a touching story of how she used her love for food to pull her up from the depths of an eating disorder of which she has fully recovered from. With her passion of creating, cooking, baking and plating, she gains a steady stream of followers addicted to her colorful dishes.
I’m all in if all vegan food looked as delicious as this.
I’ve never been much of a fan of oatmeal porridge. Give me my teochew muay anytime. But ever since I’ve followed Lin, I’ve been a convert.
And will you just look at that dollop of peanut butter? /heavy breathing
And the best part of it? They’re all healthy.
It may just be a photo of an orange but it’s so beautiful in it’s own way. I love the play of shadows and how Amber composes and styles her food. Featuring a series of pictures with a colder, bluish tone, her captions tells stories.
If you have time to spare, spend an afternoon stalking scrolling down her pictures and get transported to different parts of the world with her beautifully written captions.
Check this out.
And just a little sneak peek at some of her artistic captions.
Around the meringue tips sits a ring of poached peaches and apricot purée. A light sprinkle of icing sugar completes the dish.
We break through the meringue peaks to reveal a mound of vanilla icecream generously peppered with vanilla beans. Supporting the icecream lies a circular slab of crisp pastry.
The meringue is light and fluffy with lightly torched exteriors that crisped up a little to create a wonderful texture and mouthfeel. It works beautifully with the icecream and pastry, the peaches and apricot purée. Nothing is overly sweet.
Vanilla Baked Alaska. Party in the mouth.“
After all, in Lydia’s words, “Don’t mind a constant supply of croissants and coffee”.
Seeing this picture again just reiterates the fact that I’m too lazy to bake a chiffon cake with all the egg beating, separating and folding much less this creation of hers.
If you’re all about cakes and tarts, this is one account to follow.
