    welcome to the South East Asian Pantry

    I grew up in Singapore, a food lover's paradise, but it was only in the UK that I fell in love with cooking. So I held (lots and lots of) dinner parties, took as many cooking classes as I could afford (had the opportunity to participate in a demo by Samin Nosrat- whose cookbook Salt Fat Acid Heat is one of my absolute favourites- and try her cooking!) as well as volunteered at soup kitchens such as Refettorio Felix (an initiative by 3 Michelin star chef Massimo Bottura- Thomson Reuters came to film during 1 of my volunteer sessions and, if you watch super closely, you can spot me in the video) & supper clubs.

    Oh, I even organised a supper club of my own to raise funds for UNICEF (#cookforsyria)- those were good times! (As I write this, it's been 1 year, 2 months and 6 days since I left London for good to return to Singapore.)

    Volunteering at Luiz Hara's supper club was incredibly fun and rewarding and is actually what inspired this blog. I bought 1 of his cookbooks, The Japanese Larder, which shows people how to use Japanese ingredients in their everyday cooking and I thought it was such a fantastic idea!

    When I cook Middle Eastern recipes, for example, I'm always left with a ton of some ingredient that ends up collecting mold in my pantry and I have lots of friends who have the same problem with Asian condiments. So, hopefully, this blog helps to demystify some of our local ingredients and reduce the amount of food that we waste!

    I love seeing what you guys are making so do tag @greedygirlgourmet on your Instagram posts and stories. Have fun cooking and eating my recipes!

    Where I get groceries in Singapore

    For French food, I like LePetitDepot (use my referral link to shop & we both get $10 off!)

    For baking supplies, I use Bake With Yen and Phoon Huat. Bake with Yen is cheaper but there have been quality issues with what I've bought from them. (Some of the goods were even expired!) Phoon Huat is more expensive, but the shelf life is generally longer and the quality better.

    Life outside food blogging

    Before I had a food blog, I had a DIY blog. It was even featured on TimeOut London and Buzz Feed! (My creation is #3 on the list.)

    Hello

    Greedygirlgourmet eating 2 sandwiches in Scotland

    Hi I'm Zhen! I couldn't boil water till I was 18 but after living abroad (in St. Andrews then London) for 11 years and having to cook for myself, I now love having friends and families over, and cooking for them. I tend to be slightly obsessive-compulsive, so I like to try many different versions of a recipe before coming up with my own "ultimate" version. Check out www.greedygirlgourmet.com every week for new tried-and-tested (on my guinea pigs aka guests!) Asian recipes which are full of flavour!
