I’m Debbs! 🍳✈️

A Singaporean mum, ½ Teochew | ½ Peranakan, sharing food, travel, home cooking & mum life ✨

Sunny island girl currently back in Singapore 🇸🇬

I love discovering food, recreating flavours from my travels, and sharing real, everyday family moments.

I’ve lived in Melbourne, Dubai & Shanghai — collecting flavours, stories, and memories along the way.

These days, you’ll find me in my Pilates reformer + focaccia-baking phase 🥖💪

    🇦🇺 Perth, we’re back! The last time we visited Perth was 7 years ago, and we left with so many fond memories that we knew we wanted to return one day. This year, we finally did — but with a different focus. Instead of rushing around, we spent most of…
