Is Life a Recipe - Food and Travel Blog

A Singapore Food Blog that Posts Restaurant Reviews, Hawker Reviews, Family Fun, Cooking Recipes and many more

Where to Eat in Singapore and South East Asia

Is Life a Recipe is a Food and Travel Blog created by Brian Kennett an English-born and bred foodie, cook, and traveler who has been living in Singapore for some 18 years. He has not just been living here though, rather he has embraced the country & its Asian neighbours as his 2nd home absorbing the cultures and of course the food and local libations: they call that beer in Singapore.

His family is a blend of English, Japanese, and Filipino, with 5 kids, so truly living the Asian life and has a second home on the beautiful island of Bohol, the Philippines. “It’s more fun in the Philippines!”

Where to Travel in South East Asia

This Food and Travel Blog is a mix of his own recipes, travels, family fun, restaurant, and hawker reviews. It’s an eclectic blend of East meets West and fusion from his travels to Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, India, and many more.

The writer has also won many cooking accolades which we think makes this Singapore Food Blog unique as he has walked the walk not just talked the talk, or got others to do the writing for them. He has a Chef Table BBQ service called ChillaxBBQ bringing fine BBQ dining to your table at home, he has won a Jamie Oliver cooking competition, self-published a cookbook to raise money for charities in Cambodia, took over a restaurant as Head Chef for a night – Kilo Under Pressure, and is the only Angmo ever on Master Chef Singapore, with an appearance on Series 3. A humbling experience to stand alongside the best home Chefs from Singapore, and survive an elimination round whilst having to use his nemesis – FISH – as the core ingredient.
