Brian Kennett

Amateur Chef and Boozy Traveling Foodie Extraordinaire

Brian Kennett

Islifearecipe.net has been in production for some 14 years since Brian Kennett, originally from Margate in England, started writing the blog for fun when he moved to Singapore. The site includes restaurant reviews of both top-end restaurants but also focuses on his passion for local fare and hawkers. There is also 100โ€™s of recipes that he has created from his eating experiences on his travels across Asia and beyond. He really does put the Asian into Caucasian, with his passion for local foods from across Asia. Since the initial conception, his followers have increased substantially and they even encouraged him to branch out and start his own YouTube Channel, quirkily coined The Angmo Cooking Show. Again, this is packed with recipes and restaurant reviews but also branches out into fun things to do for families. The site is getting some serious traffic in these Covid times with parents needing inspiration of how and where to entertain their kids. He recently made an acquisition of foodyfreak.com which is going to take his reach into the European theatre. With its strapline of โ€˜cooking with love provides food for the soulโ€™, he saw this acquisition as a match made in foodie heaven.

Itโ€™s delicious according to what Iโ€™ve been informed.ย Fish is a must, so can Iย takeย this once Iโ€™ve cooked it? Not really. Sorry for the poor photo that I took way before I bought my Canon.ย This means I need to make this again, huh?!ย  Where did it originate?ย It was essentially a guesswork.ย The idea was first developed while
