Masterchef Singapore: 13 Food Instagrammers To Follow For Delicious Inspiration

ooh and ahh at dishes the contestants whip up every week but do you know that several of our local food instagrammers are masterchefs in their own right? From stay at home mums to trained bakers and busy executives by day, there is no stopping these intrepid culinarians from taking the world on, one dish (and drink) at a time!

1. @sepoygoodboy

Joesph Taguinod’s IG feed is what every glutton’s dream is made of. Serving a mix of International and Asian flavours, this food instagrammer shares his homecooked creations through a well styled gastronomical IG feed that will leave you salivating — we kid you not! Check out his rendition of a staple Filipino breakfast meal, Silog (short for sinangag — garlic fried rice and itlog — egg) which takes only 20 mins to whip up but that looks oh so wholesome! His feed is also peppered with Japanese cuisine — delicious looking soba and yakitori — all immaculately presented. Did we mention he is also a mixologist? His homemade sangria is a simple mix of rum, ginger ale and dark cherry that will leave you itching to create the same for your house parties. Food instagrammers everywhere behold because this cool dad knows how to take his grub and drinks to the next level!

2. @carramellatte

If there was an award for the best food instagrammer then we think Amanda, a Tokyo based Singaporean baker, stands a good chance at winning just based on how visually appealing her feed is (we bet her food tastes just as good too!). Her shots epitomise the Japanese minimalism she has so quickly taken to, with bright hues of sweet treats against a white backdrop being the obvious theme of her feed. From Vanilla Kiwi Tarts and Strawberry Ombre Nutella Cheesecake to homemade Pistachio Ice-Cream, Amanda’s feed will tickle your sweet tooth, even the non-existent one. Study her recipes on her beautifully curated blog and be on your way to whipping up this Mocha Cheese Ombre Cake — a visual showstopper in Amanda’s words and we can’t help but agree!

3. @limjenjen

Jen Jen’s mantra is “everyday food for everyday cook” and that is exactly what you get on her IG feed. This food instagrammer incorporates twists on local and western food with such flair and ease in dishes like Messy Fried Rice Vermicelli, Chicken Noodle Soup and Stuffed Chicken Pocket with Cheesy Veggies. Jen Jen also loves her mala! Her Spicy Mala Noodles is a big hit with her children and we are not at all surprised! This two-step meal prep is perfect to feed the little monsters, making them love you more for sure!

Meg Tan is a Singaporean residing in Thailand. In between bursts of homesickness and cooking up a storm of local fare, she has also tried her hands at her adopted country’s — crème de la crème — Thai Steamed Flower & Bird Dumplings, a traditional dessert served to Thai Royalty.

9. @gen_lxn

This 20 year-old masterchef’s novel cooking style is something to look out for. Just imagine feasting on a pasta dish made with houjicha and paired with a match-infused pesto sauce. Wow, isn’t that something? And like any other millennial, Genevieve’s obsession with grain bowls is real and her version is beautiful and we bet delicious too! We just wish links to her recipes stayed up longer on her bio!
