Happy Midweek! #ICYMI, here is a round up of some of the happenings this week!

Solar Powered: Singapore is now home to one of the world's largest floating solar farms and it is capable of potentially offsetting more than 4,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.

Is Fish Soup too salty?: We Singaporeans love our food, but too much salt can be a health risk! Check out CNA’s Talking Point to find out what’s behind the nation’s high daily salt intake, and some surprising facts about the popular flavouring.

SG Nature Trails: A central stretch of the Rail Corridor officially reopened on Monday this week featuring restored landmark bridges and elements such as new entry points and a pedestrian underpass. Definitely worth checking out!

Have a great week ahead!

Happy Monday! I hope your week is going great so far!

Today, the noodle lover in me is psyched to speak to our friend Amy, who is based in NYC! Amy’s exciting story revolves around an unconventional path to becoming a food entrepreneur post-Columbia Business School MBA. Despite the ongoing pandemic, her passion for food drove her to open Native Noodles, a new restaurant in NYC serving Singaporean hawker favorites and noodle dishes! #singaporerepping

Have a great week ahead!

Happy Midweek! #ICYMI, here is a round up of some of the happenings this week!

About Covid-19 Vaccination: Singaporeans and permanent residents under "exceptional circumstances" will now be allowed to appeal for early vaccination. Singapore will also set up seven more COVID-19 vaccination centres across the country, four of which will offer the Moderna vaccine.

AU-SG Travel Bubble: Australia and Singapore are in talks on a possible travel bubble that will allow travel between both countries with mutual recognition of vaccination certificates with priority for students and business travellers.

Food Waste in SG: A disconnect between consumers and their food supply chain has led to wasteful ways in cities like SG and HK. Can urban farming fix our broken relationship with food?

Have a great week ahead!

Happy Monday, and I hope that you are having a great start to the week!

It’s not every day that we get to meet a Japanese YouTuber based in Singapore. Yup, you already know who we’re talking about! I had a chat with our friend and the 184,000 followers-strong Ghib Ojisan about his experience living in Singapore and what he has picked up from the city over the years. He even shares a day trip itinerary of what to do in Singapore!

If you are planning to relocate to Singapore, or know someone who is, let me be their guide. You can download our Settling in Singapore guide here!

Have an amazing rest of the week!
