Food – it can be a bittersweet relationship to have.
I live to eat and often find myself drooling over beautiful food shots. In between experimenting with recipes, I enjoy my food and calories (Fact: breastfeeding mums NEED extra calories!). These days, I’m usually indulging in healthier meals including homecooked food, or healthier choices when we’re out. These 9 mummy chefs have also been creating quite a stir for fellow noob mamas, and they’ve been really generous in sharing recipes too!
If you’ve a crazy love for food and pretty pictures, here are some delicious-looking people food instagrammers who are causing global salivation. You know where to go when you need some food inspiration! Or simply enjoy a happy visual feast without piling on the kilos!

The sons of this local mum are so lucky to wake up to beautifully crafted food everyday! Li Ming Lee, or more affectionately known as Ming, started bento-ing back in 2008 when her first child was in Nursery. Charabens (character bentos) helped mum send her love to her young son when he had to be in school for longer hours. No better way to be cheered on with specially prepared healthy food by mummy dearest. Mums can pick up a tip or two from her bento book, Yummy Kawaii Bento too!

Not sure how this mum of three juggles parenting and cooking, but she makes us hungry with her self-taught creations! Cookie Monster, Baymax, Snoopy and Rilakkuma are some popular characters that often appear on her table. We are swooning over Jean’s food and half wishing we had that kind of energy to put out photo-worthy food all the time too!
15. fatwithin
Is anyone game for some kambing (mutton) soup? This lady is anything but…. fat. Expect food shots posted as is, with minimal or no filters. #foodonthetable are often flavourful (and maybe, sinful?) to whet those appetites of ours. No one’s complaining though, just as we embrace eating in moderation too with our family!

When this young lady takes over the kitchen, you can expect Instagram-worthy food on the table. When she’s not busy whipping up meals, she can be found snapping away just before she tucks into her food.
