WET-MARKET HAUL SURVIVAL GUIDE: WHAT TO STORE HOW THE MOMENT YOU GET HOME

There’s nothing quite like a good wet-market run in Singapore. The crunch of fresh kangkong, the glossy sheen on just-caught fish, the heady scent of lemongrass and chillies, bags of leafy greens still cool from the early morning. But the moment you walk through your front door, the clock starts ticking. Humidity, residual market heat, and that plastic bag condensation can turn today’s prized haul into tomorrow’s sad, wilted leftovers.

As two mums who’ve made more market trips than we can count (usually with a toddler in tow), we’ve learned that the first 10–15 minutes at home are everything.

MAKING ONDEH ONDEH AT HOME: A LITTLE TASTE OF SOUTHEAST ASIAN JOY (AND HOW TO KEEP THEM FRESH)

There’s something quietly magical about Ondeh Ondeh (also spelled onde-onde or known as klepon in Indonesia). These soft, chewy, bright-green glutinous rice balls, filled with molten gula melaka (palm sugar) and rolled in lightly salted grated coconut, deliver a perfect burst of sweetness with every bite.

Popular across Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, they’re the kind of traditional kuih that feels both nostalgic and instantly comforting—whether you’re serving them with afternoon tea or as a simple after-dinner treat.

THE REAL CARBONARA SHOWDOWN – WHY FRESH EGGS BEAT CREAM EVERY TIME (AND HOW MEALPREP™ BOWLS MAKE IT EASY)

Forget the Fake Stuff – Let’s Talk Real Carbonara!

Ah, Carbonara. That silky, cheesy, peppery Italian dream. But here’s the tea (or should we say, the guanciale?): most “Carbonara” you see in Singapore is a creamy imposter. Heavy pouring cream, garlic overload, and sometimes even mushrooms? Chef’s kiss? More like chef’s miss.

Today, we’re talking about authentic Roman Carbonara – made with just eggs, Pecorino Romano (or Parmigiano), guanciale (or pancetta), black pepper, and pasta. No cream. No compromises. And guess what makes prepping this beauty stress-free? Our very own Fresh Pantry MealPrep™ Stainless Steel Bowls.

Let’s settle this delicious debate once and for all.
