Foodie Friday: What the stars ate this week (Jan 26 to Feb 2)

Joanne Peh

What she ate: Yu sheng

Yummy factor: With only two types of vegetables, this looks more like a sashimi salad than yu sheng. But we're sure Joanne's not complaining - just check out the thick slices of salmon, tuna and yellowtail.

Fann Wong

What she ate: In the midst of volunteering to help the elderly, Fann and her fan club celebrated her birthday with a three-tier cake.

Yummy factor: This extravagant spectacle is everything we’d expect for Fann. It’s like a 2-in-1 bouquet cake.

Kimberly Chia

Muttons

What she ate: Puppy pineapple tarts from Paradise Group

Yummy factor: It’s almost cruel how cute and lifelike these are. Oh the wagging tongues!

Belinda Lee

What she ate: Baked curry puff

Yummy factor: Baked or deep-fried, the best thing about curry puffs is that the pastry (crimped edges included) is as delectable as the filling.

Bonnie Loo

What she ate: Gyudon in Japan

Yummy factor: Roasted seaweed topping and a wobbly onsen tamago bathing the beef in its yolky goodness is what gyudon’s all about.

Chua Enlai

What he ate: Prawn and mussels at Grand Hyatt Singapore

Yummy factor: “The mountain I have to climb tonight,” Enlai captioned. Gosh, it sure is a lot of work conquering this mound. Need any help?

Li Nanxing

What he ate: Yu sheng, which is made up of 12 types of fruits, at Sens Singapore

Yummy factor: Now this is our kind of yu sheng. Replace the vegetables with a ton of fruits, sashimi and fried crackers.

Derrick Hoh

What he ate: Famished in the middle of the night and facing a “crappy fridge situation” – how relatable is this? Except Derrick did what the rest of us wish we had the energy to do: He got out of bed and headed for McDonald’s drive-thru.

Yummy factor: Considering how he wolfed down this meal in his car barely minutes after it was handed to him, we’d say his midnight munchies were fulfilled.

Vivian Lai

What she ate: Peking duck

Yummy factor: If this is a baby duck, we can't imagine what the adult looks like!

He Ying Ying

What she ate: Birthday cake and cupcakes from her fan club, Yingfinity

Jamie Yeo

What she ate: Bak kwa from Fragrance Bak Kwa because it’s “the one CNY snack that we can all agree on in this family,” Jamie wrote

Yummy factor: Chinese New Year aside, bak kwa is kind of our favourite year-round snack. Think of it as the jazzier cousin to bacon and jerky.

Joshua Tan

What he ate: A feast with his “favourite people”

Yummy factor: “Just v sad I didn’t make the favourite people list,” Charlie Goh quipped, to which Wang Weiliang added, “I always thought we’re in it.” Savage Joshua delivered a blow in his answering comment, “Y’all are just work colleagues la.” Sigh, who knew a family lunch could upset the bros.

Jae Liew

What she ate: Strawberry shortcake that she baked herself

Yummy factor: While Jae said her piping skills "have got a damned long way to go", we think this is very impressive for her first attempt.

Noah Yap

What he ate: Kway chap

Yummy factor: That drooling face sticker represents all intestine lovers who can’t get enough of this tasty chewy classic. The braised sauce looks rich and flavourful – but where are the preserved vegetables?

Zoe Tay, Bryan Wong, Hong Hui Fang and He Ying Ying

What they ate: Birthday cakes for January babies including Bryan, Hui Fang, and Ying Ying

Yummy factor: It’s a cake tasting party basically, with more than enough to go around.

Rebecca Lim

What she ate: Homemade food by Zoe Tay, thoughtfully packed in a thermos with a spoon

Yummy factor: Uh, Ah Jie prepared this with her own two hands. Does it actually matter what food is inside?

Shaun Chen

What he ate: Shaun twisted and pulled this huge wad of dough with all his might during a training session for his upcoming role as a tau sar piah chef in Blessings 2.

Yummy factor: After all his labour Shaun had better eaten a box of pastries. From the looks of how stretchy the dough was, it was probably super flaky.

Sora Ma

What she ate: Tom yum soup

Yummy factor: This is bound to be a nose sweat-inducing, taste bud-scalding experience. But nothing beats hot and sour tom yum soup that’s creamy with coconut milk and teeming with tender fish chunks, slippery mushrooms and juicy prawns.

Timothee Yap

What he ate: $3 hefty homemade salad, which certainly beats overpriced restaurant salads.

Yummy factor: This is what Timothee eats between school and training because, he explained, “As a college student, I can’t afford to eat out every day.” Well, it’s simple and low maintenance and gets the job done.

Tosh Zhang

What he drank: Soju bomb in Korea

Yummy factor: Soju shot dropped into a cup of beer goes down smoothly, then hits you hard after. Geonbae!

Wallace Ang

What he ate: Mango and ice cream cup

Yummy factor: This has a healthier fruit-to-ice cream ratio. Plus, it’s hard not to be impressed by the expertly stacked mango pyramid on top.
