Fancy some crispy crickets on sushi rolls? Singapore to approve insects for food as early as July 26 Jun 2024 09:32AM(Updated: 26 Jun 2024 10:08AM) https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/insects-food-restaurants-farms-crickets-sfa-approve-consumption-july-4436021?cid=FBcna&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR111dbQUZ_ysAHZ9NsywYM4hj61y0u5XvrIlmNtJE3aS-ysbRW1KSplLn8_aem_OnWcX-lPIIKQZezpEBplwA Fancy some crispy crickets on your sushi rolls? (Photo: Rebecca Metteo/CNA) SINGAPORE: From glutinous rice balls crowned with juicy silkworms to crispy crickets sitting on sushi rolls, diners here may soon get to feast on creepy crawlies in dining establishments. Singapore could be allowing the sale of certain insects as food as early as next month, restaurants and potential farms which have been informed on the latest development told CNA. The approvals for the sale of insects for human consumption have been delayed for more than a year. The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) first conducted a public consultation on the regulation of insects and insect products in end-2022. In April last year, the agency said that 16 species of insects, such as crickets, silkworms and grasshoppers, would receive the green light for consumption in the second half of 2023. Earlier this year, SFA, in a forum letter reply in The Straits Times, said it is finalising the implementation details and aims to introduce a regulatory framework in the first half of this year. “As the insect industry is nascent and insects are a new food item here, it is necessary for SFA to put in place the regulatory levers before insects are approved as food to safeguard food safety, and more time is needed to establish the required regulations and implementation plan,” the letter added. “We will work closely with food business operators to ensure that they are able to meet SFA’s regulatory requirements before insects and insect products are permitted for sale as food for human consumption in Singapore.” CNA understands that legislation is also likely to be tabled in parliament soon. ENSURING INSECTS ARE SAFE FOR CONSUMPTION Meanwhile, at restaurant House of Seafood, chefs are getting used to working with bugs as ingredients and ensuring they are safe to eat. House of Seafood CEO Francis Ng said this involves thorough cleaning. “(The first step for our chefs is to) do a cleaning, after that they will toast them in the oven,” he added. “(A small little brush would be used) to clean piece by piece.” Some of these hygiene protocols follow a set of interim guidelines for handling and rearing insects for food, which was first published in 2022 when the government first mooted the idea of allowing insects as food. Insect suppliers said they have been briefed by the SFA. “In the past few days, we have engaged with them as well, and they told us that it will happen very soon,” said Mr Hiew Yuen Sheng, director and co-founder of Altimate Nutrition, a local start-up creating food products from insects. “They told us in the past few days that it's going to happen, like rest assured and no more delays.”

I know this is a Singapore forum but as I live in Thailand I am wondering if it is appropriate to post about food in Thailand here. It could be Thai food, international food, my home cooking food in Thailand etc. I wish to also welcome anyone here to contribute your experience of Thai food in Singapore or anywhere. If anyone think its not appropriate do let me know. For a start here's one of my favourite Thai food khanom-jeen, had this last week near my office Khanom-Jeen is the white soft rice noodle in Thailand made from fermented rice so it has to be eaten fresh after its made if not will turn sour quickly and spoil. Khanom-jeen is usually take with Thai curry and most commonly with Thai green curry known as gaeng-keow-wan literally translated word by word curry-green-sweet or for our easy understanding sweet green curry, and in this case for chicken green curry we call it gaeng-keow-wan-gai, gai as in chicken. This is rural area so the simple and rural setup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOhpd-7LR2g&t=3s Besides making khanon-jeen-gaeng-keow-wan in very traditional taste the seller is also very sweet and cute so my favourite stall I can down 2 of her khanom-jeen any time Each is only 40 baht

Turf City closes on 31 December 2023. Been visiting Turf City since it became a commercial mall, first batch of tenants included Mcdonald's and Watsons. Over the years, tenants have included Giant, Jack's Place, Owen Seafood, Tung Lok etc and of course the massive car mart. Used to meet up with friends just to walk along the rows of cars. Reckon Turf City means different things to different people given the variety of activities available; makan, cars + accessories, sports, grocery shopping, furniture shopping, child enrichment etc. Perhaps share share Turf City stories here ?

A pragmatic approach to resolve disputes arises from food ordering among couples, or will it cause more argument when the food is not to the partner's liking? Hahahaha Reminds me of the Anything & Whatever soft drink introduced here in the early 2000s.

Since I left on 16th I had been to a town in Germany and then to Venice. Haven't got a chance to post much because these 2 places I went to the internet is horrendous both wifi in hotel and 3/4G. Now I really appreciate being in Bangkok and Singapore where the internet is easily available and fast too. I just arrived in Florence and is able to upload most of the stuff so I could post better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5zcD2vzSjI Immediately after arriving in Munich Airport, was whisked off to a small city/town of 18,000 people at the Austrian border. Drove about 1.5 hours. Arriving in the town went to a Bavarian lunch here Nice quiet restaurant Soups Vegetarian meal Very non-vegetarian meal lol

Foodpanda S'pore hiring a 'chief makan officer', S$1,000 salary & S$5,000 food allowance source:https://mothership.sg/2020/11/foodpanda-chief-makan-officer/ Foodpanda has launched a search for its first ever “chief makan officer” (CMO). What is a chief makan officer? According to Foodpanda's website, a CMO will get to travel around Singapore to savour the food from 15,000 different restaurant partners. They must also document their food adventures and their stories will eventually be shared on Foodpanda's social media pages. A monthly allowance of S$5,000 will be given to a CMO, on top of a S$1,000 remuneration. Additionally, a CMO will also be tasked to conceptualise and execute creative food-themed content showcasing offerings from Foodpanda shops and Pandamart. The CMO will also enjoy some perks, including gaining exclusive access to select restaurants and Pandamart warehouses. Although the contract offered for the role of CMO only lasts for three months, you can get the opportunity to collaborate with Foodpanda as a food influencer after the three-month stint. Application and requirements To be eligible for the job, you must either be a Singaporean or a Permanent Resident (PR). You must also be able to commit for three months, starting from Jan. 4, 2021. Some of the other quirky requirements Foodpanda stated include: " History of eating during lecture will be counted as a relevant experience" "Demonstrated track record of posting drool-worthy photos" "High metabolism" Applications for the role will open from Tuesday (Dec. 1) and will run for two weeks until Dec. 15. Interested candidates can apply by sending in a one-minute video via Foodpanda's LinkedIn page or through its website. An example of a video resume can be in the style of a mukbang. As of 7pm on Nov. 28, 18 people have applied for the job through Foodpanda's LinkedIn page.- 18 replies

S’pore App Alerts You To Free Food Nearby So Leftover Buffets Won’t Go To Waste Source: https://mustsharenews.com/free-food-app/ Makan Rescue App Helps You Find Free Food Nearby Ever walked past an event’s buffet spread and yearned for a plate of free food? Now you can fulfil that wish with Makan Rescue, an app created by a group of Singaporeans which alerts users to leftover food nearby. The initiative which aims to curb food wastage is a win-win solution – no food gets thrown out, and people get to eat for free. Extra buffet food for everyone Events tend to cater more food than necessary perhaps out of precaution, but that means heaps of servings leftover. What happens to the food then? Well, caterers often have no choice but to discard them, since the food which was prepared hours earlier could go bad soon. That’s where hungry folks like us come in because we just can’t say no to free food. Locate free food using Makan Rescue app More than just alerting users of free food, Makan Rescue also locates the exact venue, along with photos of what the spreads look like. Users can also upload “missions” if they know of any leftover food that needs to be “rescued”. Based on the sample photos uploaded so far, most of the missions seem to occur at tertiary institutions only, though there’s an “others” option too. But local universities like NUS, NTU and SMU have their own “channels” which users can follow, to find food at the respective campuses. Students scrimping on every dollar should definitely check the app out if you don’t want to spend on food. Eat for free and reduce wastage Even the app, which is available on Google Play and the App Store, is free, so there’s no excuse not to install it. It’s always such a shame to see large amounts of food go to waste. Hence, this initiative by the Makan Rescue team is truly commendable. Let’s support a good cause and do our parts to work towards becoming a zero-waste city. Featured image adapted from the Makan Rescue app and Facebook.
