About

Recognised by Singapore’s Finest as a Top Food Blog, Islifearecipe.net has the mantra of exhibiting for you the mouth-watering cuisines and distinctive local cultures of Singapore and South East Asia. You may enjoy some of the best food in the world here at any one of a variety of establishments, ranging from food stalls and hawkers to cafés and five-star restaurants, with a new gastronomic adventure waiting around every corner. Add to that my travel experiences whilst I chomp and chew my way through South East Asia.

The blog is written by a self-acclaimed foodie, cook, and traveler that has lived in South East Asia for 15+ years with a Eurasian family to boot. I pride myself on that the reviews are written by me, about my experiences and those of my family. No outsourced writing here.

Food and Travel are both such important components of our lives but I believe that we take them for granted at times. Everything is now available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We have restaurants that serve pre-cooked, pre-packaged food and are open 24 hours a day. Why do we eat without thinking about what we’re eating, when we’re eating, where we’re eating, or even who we’re dining with? We miss the meals’ origins, culture, history, and regional variations.

We “fast-food” it, and bypass the neighborhood food court, street vendor, or hawker right outside our door. Is it simply that we are hesitant to taste the local cuisine because of its unpredictability or cleanliness, and are we scared to sit among the “natives”? 

I truly hope this food and travel blog will give you insights into where to travel in South East Asia, where to dine on the most incredible food, and how to cook that in your home.
