An unplanned road trip for 3 hours led us to this glorious sunset - snow, crashing waves & sunset - it was terrifying (wind was 70km/h) & awesome all at once #seaofjapan #tomari taken in Tomari, Hokkaido by @willcookwilleat

You know you are home when you step into @singaporeair especially if you have been away for a long time. Not many know that I worked 4.5 years with SQ (as legal counsel) and have always loved our national carrier - over the years you may have seen me post horror photos of the food served on board 😓 deep down we are all incredibly proud of our national carrier. This flight (SQ11 on 13 January 24) reminded me why this is a great airline, it’s the cabin crew (yes the hardware is important too but many other airlines have also caught up). The warm hospitality that goes beyond what you expect, to me was what always set SQ apart. And on this flight I am reminded of the “service that other airlines talk about” Special shout out to LS Jane Wee CS Jack & IFS Jeremiah who made the flight exceptional. Not forgetting the 2 FS Japanese crew who spoke perfect singlish! Please tag a cabin crew friend  #MakeSingaporeAirGreatAgain #singaporeair #singaporeaircabincrew by @willcookwilleat

It truly was an escape from the city. @casazii is such a beautiful space within walking distance to the world famous beach. Between 4 adults & 3 kids we stayed in 2 units complete with pools & kitchens (not that we needed to cook since the awesome taco stand was nearby). #puertoescondidooaxaca #oaxaca #méxico #chalet taken in Puerto Escondido by @willcookwilleat

If your elderly parents are open to travel you should definitely do so with them, if they aren’t open to it but are still physically capable of travel (or with assistance) try to understand what the concerns are (eg. what if I am tired? What if I need a toilet ? Food? Weather ?) perhaps it’s bec of culture or it’s just their generation; my mom won’t normally tell me her concerns, she will just say “no” so I had to give educated guesses and offer solutions “we will bring a wheel chair” “we are staying in an Air B&B so we can all chill in the living room” “the weather will be perfect just like air con” etc etc. hoping she will change her mind. And she did 5 years ago (she was fearful that she might keep needing the toilet mid flight - solution we will sit near the toilet) since then we travel at least once a year and I use that as motivation for her daily morning walks. We also had such a blast - as long as you accept that the trip revolves around them you won’t be disappointed you didn’t get to do this or that. Save your to do list for your own trip next time. by @willcookwilleat

This was easily the highlight of my visit to Queenstown this time.

We first visited @kahiwiwines three years ago, when it was still very much a baby. Even then, based on what we saw and tasted, @vinopothamus was already very excited about where it was headed.

He was right.

If you ever come across a bottle, buy it. Or better still, buy six. Don’t let it slip by. taken in Otago Peninsula, New Zealand by @willcookwilleat

It was surreal. We released the 2 sail fish we caught but sadly 1 didn’t survive as the hook had caught its eye. It is the first time I caught my own meal and see such a large living thing die in my presence. It was humbling & I learnt how important it is to not prolong suffering & not to waste food as a creature lost its life for our consumption. #deepseafishing #sailfish #fishing #méxico taken in Puerto Escondido by @willcookwilleat

When @violet.oon throws a party @violetoonsingapore she means business. On the one month anniversary of my retirement, she organised a high spirited dinner at her Dempsey restaurant. She corralled friends, newsmakers and four generations of food writers. And insisted on #angkukueh for the #dessert platter for luck. You know Violet, I'm already so lucky to have you as a friend!

#sweetpotatoleaves - always comforting 

#steak with #sambalhijau my favourite 

#kueh and #pulothitam 

With Iggy, Janice and @willcookwilleat, who arrived from #cdmx hours before dinner 

So happy to see the women moving and shaking our food scene - @janicewong2am and @pe3na, whose stories I've been privileged to tell. 

@lordchoobak - his family's @kctsoya sauces have permanent spots in my fridge. He's a third gen owner carrying on his family's legacy. You know how rare that is. 

@janetanys is taking her #allergenfree brand @roamidnight to #japan and the world. Hers was one of the last stories I wrote. You better believe I planned the last handful very carefully. 

@sulyntay and her brother are taking their mom's @violetoonsingapore places. I'm in awe of them, and what they've achieved. Plus, they have Singapore's largest collection of #peranakan tiles. I'm convinced. 

Three generations of food writers - @wongahyoke and @euniceq. With @violet.oon it would be four generations. It's Eunice's turn to carry the torch. No pressure! 

With @kwanja1965 who is carrying on his mom's legacy with @lovelanacakes. The #chocolatefudgecake generations grew up on. Mrs Violet Kwan will be 99 soon. Jason's sons are learning the ropes. 

@johanne_siy's @aro.singapore is one #restaurant opening I am looking forward to. I told her story the same day I told @janetanys. One business is called Roa, the other, Aro. Coincidence? 😉

The big group! Special shout out to @liqing.qingli and her Dad David, whose @greenwoodfishmarket is growing. I'm excited! 

One more for the road. Thank you, friends, for celebrating with @wongahyoke and me. You are proof of the resilience, ingenuity and creativity taken in Violet Oon Singapore at Dempsey Hill by @willcookwilleat
