About Belinda
This recipe is generously shared by Belinda, otherwise known as Chef.Popo. Belinda started cooking when she was about 9! Talk about starting young! And her creativity was already raring to go from the very start. Her very first dish, 'Hairy Melon' was incredibly salty. She added everything she could find in the kitchen!
Fortunately, her older siblings “enjoyed” the dish which encouraged Belinda to continue cooking. As they say, a little appreciation goes a long way, and it was thanks to the motivation and support she got from her siblings that got her to try out another dish and another!
Belinda's style of cooking is intuitive or what some would call freestyling. This means she can and loves recreating her favourite restaurant dishes at home. The real treat and kick here is she not only makes the dishes taste similar or really close to what she had, but sometimes her version tastes even better!
And we really appreciate Chef.Popo's recipes and glorious food she made using our products. Scroll through the gallery for Eggless Cupcakes, Durian Ice cream, Pumpkin with Satay Sauce, Ayam Goreng Berempah / Spice Fried Chicken, Blue Pasta and Eggless Pandan Pancakes.
Belinda does a little dance when her husband loves it and gives it a thumbs up! Chefs love sharing the joy of their cooking with the people they love, and it's this two-way connection that gives her the spark to love what she does. When you create and serve a dish with love, whoever is lucky to be on the receiving end returns the appreciation two-fold! Belinda's love for cooking goes beyond just creating the dishes themselves. She's also really into the photography and styling aspects of cooking and presenting dishes. It's one thing to make dishes taste good, and quite another skill to make them look good. Belinda has dedicated a lot of time to really get to know her food and learn about the aesthetic techniques of presenting them. When she sees what she has created come to a lovely fruition, she feels very thankful for divine creativity. It's a blessing for her, and that blessing ultimately gets shared and passed on to the people around her. Sharing her creations, her knowledge and experience on her social media brings joy to her and her followers. If you haven't seen Belinda's beautiful creations, get on to her Instagram now, and partake in a piece of the joy....and it may well inspire you to don that apron and whip up some creativity of your own!
