The first #HelloHawker

This is my first ever #HelloHawker lunch using my new melamine from Singapore.

Sure, the lemon wedge probably didn't need it's own bowl, but I couldn't resist adding that coral colour to the setting.

In this amazing Tokyo autumn light was - Miso with wakame and toumyou. Egg with dill to remind me of my trip to Lithuania. Organic vegetables from the farmers markets. Tuna so I could run 6kms this afternoon. And lemon so I could use the coral bowl hah.

Hope you had a nice day, Sandwiches! It's so nice to be back to blogging again!

Colourful houses in Singapore

Sandwiches!

Singapore is sooooooo beautiful!

Stanley and Antoinette (pictured above) from The Little Drom Store took me around on what we came to call the 'instagram tour' and showed me so many pretty houses! There was so much to see, with such little time, and on one occasion Stanley even pulled out the car before I had closed my door. Ha ha. It was literally the ideal tour for me. GET THE PHOTO! LET'S GO! NEXT!







I mean, these pretty colours! Do you die?! Soooooo cute!





Most of these photos were taken with my Fujifilm X100T in the Joo Chiat area which is ridiculously pretty. The tiles, the colours...I basically walked around with my jaw dropped to the ground.

Hello Hawker!

Hello Sandwiches!!!

How are you all? It's F I N A L L Y getting cold in Tokyo. I made nabe tonight, and am wearing heat tech, and my feet are cold and I can smell winter. It's brilliant.

I'm just back from Singapore where I hosted a series of workshops and had a pop-up at The Little Drom Store. Gosh it's been incredible travelling around lately. Lithuania, Amsterdam and Singapore. I have a giant backlog of images to show you, but for now, here are some pics from the hawker food center.

OMG this place, and all it's amazing colour and delicious foo.! I can't even!






Antoinette and Stanley from The Little Drom store took me to their favourite fresh fruit juice stall. I'd caught a cold in Singapore, and Antoinette recommended a Singapore remedy of, I think it was starfruit and salt. It was super delicious and I'm sure it helped me recover. Stanley had mentioned that he really loved the retro signage at the hawker food center, and we had long conversations about the fonts, printing types, and acrylic signs. The perfect conversation.







The curry puff uncle! Singapore is F U L L of smiles.



Lilac bowls!



Canary yellow. Green. Turquoise. And lime. Yassssss!



Orange and lime.





Even the stacks of dirty plates made it onto my Fujifilm X100T.









Love the cutlery identification tagging technique.



Bobochacha (which is ridiculously fun to say) and other amazing Singapore desserts.



In case it wasn't already amazing enough, Stanley came back with drinks in bags. And check out the bags - purple and red. Teamed with the little fluoro green ties - I can't even. 



Pink drink in a bag. With a yellow straw! STOP!!!

"Let's shoot it again, without the line and with both hands"




Do you die?
I die!



Each stall paints the ends of their cutlery so they can be returned to the correct stall. Swoon!

"It looks cute with the tiles too, don't you think?"



Okay so people who bring their own coloured melamine to the hawker food center (which is already filled with coloured melamine) ARE THE BEST!



We did a shoot for Polkaros' new 'Singapore Dessert' collection. Antoinette said it felt like she was making me work, but for me it was heaven. I LOVE a good shoot. Ant and Stanley brought along their own props and we stood on chairs taking overhead shots in the middle of the hawker food center. We even made good use of a mint tray as a reflector board. Lol. You can take the girl outta Vogue Living...



This polkaros collection is ridiculously cute!

And ZOMG. You guys! This is a chance to get one of the very last copies of my Tokyo Guide! The Little Drom Store have opened up their online shop with a few of their copies! Head over here if you'd like one.

I can't wait to tell you more about this amazing store we found full of melamine plates. On thwe way back to Tokyo my suitcase was full with 'Hello Hawker' items. I can't wait to have a #HelloHawker picnic before it gets too cold.

In the time being, head over to my instagram or snapchat for pics and snippets.
