What she ate: Macarons

Yummy factor: In the spirit of giving, Joanne prepared some of her favourite sweets from Baked by Wolf — freshly-made macarons in a variety of flavours — to share with the Passion Hair Salon team. According to her, these aren’t too sweet, with festive flavours like mulled wine, whiskey butterscotch, and white chocolate and peppermint marshmallow. Even her hubby Qi Yuwu had two at a go!

What they ate: Iberico pork

Yummy factor: From fried cutlets to barbecued versions and curried goodness, Star Search 2019 finalist Gini and Ben probably had enough pork in all manners and form to last them a while. Not that anyone’s complaining. After all, the dishes at Gochiso Shokudo feature premium Iberico pork — one of the world’s healthiest and yummiest.

What they ate: Toast

Yummy factor: To fuel them for their shoot ahead, a most thoughtful Rui En got Kym Ng and celebrity chef Eric Teo a quick brekkie in the form of kaya toast and hot drinks. Well, we hope she ordered the siew dai version for their beverages, because Rui En’s gesture couldn’t be sweeter.

​​​​​​​What he ate: Burger and fries

Yummy factor: Everything’s about having a balance.. And that includes food. Dennis had fun exemplifying that with his fries at Mos Burger, just before he tucked into his juicy burger and clam chowder soup.

What he ate: Pineapple bun

Yummy factor: JJ had a snack from Taiwanese singer Harry Chang's bakery, Take It Easy, and seemed to enjoy his bolo bao very much. After all, he had to close his eyes and savour every mouthful of it.

What he ate: Char siew noodles

Yummy factor: It seems like J Kishan struck jackpot with his humble bowl of char siew and crisp sio bak noodles in his neighbourhood. The stall owners were pretty generous with the meat, and boy do the noodles — drenched in sauce — look springy.

What she ate: Butter cookies

Yummy factor: Vivian’s daughter, Vera, has started an online bake sale venture for her cookies and cupcakes, and counts Zoe Tay as one of her customers. Of course, mummy Vivian had to promote these homemade goodies — like these butter cookies — too!

What she ate: Chicken wings

Yummy factor: It seems like Phyllis enjoyed the fried chicken at Korean hawker stall Pink Candy so much, she made a trip back to Beauty World Food Centre for more. Well, what’s the point of burning calories on a hike, if you don’t enjoy your favourite foods after?

What she ate: Bubble tea

Yummy factor: Ah Jie popped over to Hong Junyang’s Machi Machi where she got herself the Flurry Strawberry Latte with Creme Brulee. Topped with crushed Oreo biscuits and a thick layer of cream, the pink-hued beverage looks like it’d be great as a dessert too.

What she ate: A feast

Yummy factor: When Xiuhuan isn’t busy preparing delicious meals for her family at home, she’s probably dining out and getting inspiration for her next culinary creation. She visited Taste Paradise recently and got to try their refreshed menu — what a spread it was! Think seafood pao fan simmered in lobster broth, nourishing kampong chicken soup, baked prawns with vermicelli, steamed soon hock and more.

What they ate: Home-cooked meal

Yummy factor: Both Felicia and Jeffrey had the pleasure of tucking into a home-cooked meal at a colleague's place, and boy did the chicken curry and prawn omelette look hearty and delicious. Also, Felicia got to have her first slice of Christmas cake for the year!

What they ate: Hotpot

Yummy factor: The duo met for a hotpot dinner date and had their fill of meats and veggies — with plenty of sake to balance the meal, of course.

What she ate: Local favourites

Yummy factor: After feasting on everything from braised chicken mee sua to debal curry with sliced baguette and double portions of lopes kueh, it sure looks like Sheila left Xin Tekka food court with a new (food) baby in tow. And did we mention she ordered sambal stingray too?

What she ate: Xiao long bao

Yummy factor: It’s been a while since Belinda has managed to grab lunch with her husband David Moore. And since they both managed to make their schedules work, Belinda took the chance to have a leisurely one where they shared some of their favourite eats — dan dan mian, xiao long bao, and salted egg buns. Yum.

What they ate: Japanese cuisine

Yummy factor: Both Patricia and Cynthia’s rollerblading lesson must have been pretty intense, because they both managed to finish their sumptuous dinner at Yayoi after. Think salmon sashimi, grilled fish, a mushroom dish, oyakodon and more.

What she ate: Ice-cream log cake

Yummy factor: Kate got to try out the festive offerings from Swensen’s, from the garlic roast chicken to the Impossible meatball pasta and even a grazing platter brimming with delish cold cuts and cheeses. For the lady with a sweet tooth, however, the ice-cream log cake featuring sticky chewy chocolate ice-cream was the true star.

What she ate: Assam fish head curry

Yummy factor: Thanks to celebrity chef Eric Teo’s assam sambal sauce, it was a breeze for Kym to put together a steaming hot pot of assam fish head curry for dinner with her hubby. Now all that’s missing is a bowl (or three) of rice to go with the tangy and spicy gravy.

​​​​​​​What she ate: Noodles

Yummy factor: Bonnie takes mealtimes seriously, because that’s when she gets to relax for a bit and savour her food, even if it’s a simple dish like noodles with sambal chilli on the side. Afterall, it’s also accompanied by a big bowl of fried goodies.

What she ate: Cheesy bites

Yummy factor: If there’s anything more cheesy than a cliched pick-up line, it’s probably the mozzarella sticks Ferlyn had at Hub & Spoke Cafe. Crisp on the outside and filled with stringy and gooey mozzarella cheese, we bet Ferlyn couldn’t stop at one stick!

What she ate: Garlic shiitake chips

Yummy factor: Since she had some time to spare before a work meeting, Chantalle decided to open up her bag of garlic shitake chips from Edens and attempt a little ASMR. Well, it was probably hard to stop at just one or two — especially the shroom chips are so crisp and aromatic.
