What’s the way to your heart? It wouldn't come as a surprise that the way to a Singaporean’s heart…is through their stomachs!

With National Day around the corner, we catch up with Jolene (also known as Miss Crumbs A Lot), a stay-at-home-mum from Texas, who whips up delicious local goodies every time she misses home. She shares what she misses most about Singapore, and a few of her favourite recipes such as Satay, Chwee Kueh, Chicken Rice, and even the nostalgic gem biscuits snack! We’re in for a treat!

Cook up a storm this weekend, and let us know in our #friyaypoll, which recipe will you be attempting?
