I’m running on not much sleep at the moment, what with a slew of visitors in town and a busy schedule in general. People often ask “how do you do it? How do you fou out and stay out late so often?” ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Well, working out is really something that allows me to clear the cobwebs, sweat out the toxins, and energise. Whether it’s a session at my beloved Ritual, tennis with my little man, martial arts fitness training at FaMA or even just a workout on the elliptical at my condo gym with Aaptiv, if I get my body moving, things will be better, guaranteed. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ So now you know my secret... your turn to sweat!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #NoExcuses #BeBrave #RitualGym #HealthyHedonist (at Ritual Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/B16cM3FHSGW/?igshid=1fc6h7ddvs7y8

A few days later and I am still gobsmacked. I am beyond humbled to be included in this list of incredibly talented people, many of whom I am proud to call friends! Those who know me know that I love this industry and supported it wholeheartedly (and often whole bodily or so says my liver 😂). ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ While my path may have been unorthodox, the passion is what counts right? After growing up in an F&B family, then surviving (too) MANY years in the corporate world, I came back around to hospitality but on my own terms. Add on many more years (don’t forget I am old!😅) working just about every job in restaurants, front and back, and I am just where I want to be. Thanks to Drinks International and Hamish for the shout-out! 🙏🏽⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #Grateful #HospitalityFamily #Hospo4Life https://www.instagram.com/p/B0zd1x6HPMS/?igshid=1dlw9ldegsunk

Hello friends! It’s been a while since I did a class but this Sunday I am teaching one of my favourites, back by popular demand: KIMCHI!⁣ ⁣ I love fermentation and kimchi is one of the best examples of this process IMHO. In this class we’ll learn 2 types plus some recipes of what to do with excess and perhaps over ripe kimchi. Lots of food and fun! Hope to see you there. Link in my profile to sign up 😁 and quote TKS10 for 10% off... because I like you! ⁣ ⁣ 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Posted @withrepost • @thekitchensocietysg This jar is full of LAB : Lactic-acid bacteria, the probiotic that is responsible for all the goodness of kimchi. ⁣ This is one jar you ought to have in your fridge and making your own kimchi is as versatile as eating it! ⁣ You can put in your favourite veg and adjust the taste of sourness/spiciness to your liking. ⁣ Join @viviliciousxo as she shares the essentials of kimchi making this Sunday 14 June, 1.30pm. •⁣ Click on profile link to sign up online. ⁣ #thekitchensocietysg #sgcookingschool #sgcookingclass #kimchi #fermentation #koreanfood #probiotic #Asian #Viviliciousxo #FoodGeek (at THE KITCHEN SOCIETY) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzcXShKnQGq/?igshid=13yi2q1uidn1n

I am so behind on so many posts for all #TheWorlds50Best Restaurant events that happened this past week. But in an attempt to get back on the sadly neglected fitness wagon, I am back at my other second home, #RitualGym! And even better, I was inducted into the 500 Club (TBH I probably should have hit that number of sessions a long time ago but never checked in the first 2 years!😱😂).⁣ ⁣ Anyway, the #workout was tough but as ever, I feel so much better after. #BeBrave!
