Aligned to our Singapore Green Plan 2030’s sustainable living pillar to reduce our carbon footprint and saving resources, aside from building on current environmental efforts in schools, it is equally important to leverage on community partnerships to offer people more environment-related learning opportunities through various activities – whether be it on an individual level, on a family and/or friends level, or even on a community level.
This can include practicing more sustainable lifestyle habits which include fuss-free meal planning to ease on our food wastage. Sprucing up on our once familiar cuisine – whether be it snacks, desserts, or even a hearty meal with diverse new autumn flavours and ingredients and pairing familiar flavours with new tastes bring excitement to once classic seasonal flavours. For example, ube (which means tuber in Tagalog), is a natural purple yam that originated from Philippines. Comes with a smooth texture with a mild, sweet flavour profile, think of its consistency akin to white chocolate so this tuber is ideal for use in sweet treat recipes such as cupcakes, ice creams, waffles, mochi, bread, donuts, and more.
