About Us

THE FIVE SPOONS


A big, warm “hello!” to every one of you out there reading this! We are The Five Spoons, a team of six Year 2 Mass Communication students from Republic Polytechnic's Centre for Enterprise & Communication (CEC).

Whether it’s the famous chicken rice at the hawker center or a massive buffet hidden away in a small restaurant downtown, rely on us to share our LOVE for FOOD through food-hunting and thinking up with our very own food reviews on this blog!




Walter Ng

Hi, I'm Walter and I am the overall-in-charge of The Five Spoons.

I am also known as the Soup Spoon, because I love eating food- especially in large portions!

I was born to parents that are major foodies, thus I have cultivated the love of food-hunting since young. To me, if a dish is worth my time, I wouldn’t mind queuing 30 minutes for a plate of steaming Hainanese chicken rice.

My favourite cusine is Chinese, Malay and Indian cusine. All three races have their specialties, so it would always give me a variety of food to choose from!

Why do I have such a passion for food? Well, because everybody needs to eat! I believe that instead of merely eating, why not choose to eat tasty food? Because somehow or rather, eating tasty food would light up my day, every day.

Fion Chua

Hello, this is Fion and I'm the editor of the The Five Spoons!

I am known as the Tablespoon, one of the types of spoons that can be used with almost any dish.

As the editor of the team, I am in charge of proof-reading and ensuring that everyone’s writing is consistent before it is presentable, meaning that I am as important as a tablespoon in the pantry (just joking).

Many people know that I am a foodie who eats almost everything. Honestly, it is very difficult for me to pick a favourite dish or type of cuisine, so I share what I know and my experiences with everyone here.

Darren Lee

Hi guys, my name is Darren and I contribute media content for The Five Spoons.

The spoon that best fits my personality would be the Dessert Spoon. Well, they always say the best is served the last... haha. Jokes aside, you can count on me to bring you all the videos edited to perfection here!

Cakes, puddings, custards, pies and pastries- I love them all! I can’t even count how many times I have wished that I could have dessert for three meals a day!

'Food is the most primitive form of comfort'- this sentence simply explains why I love food. Feeling down? Just grab a bite and you’ll get an energy boost like none other!

P.S. If you’re wondering if I'm fat, yes- you’re definitely right.



Dawn Chan

Heya! My name is Dawn Chan and I am the designer of The Five Spoons.

Just like a Saucier Spoon that is used for drizzling sauces over delicate foods, I help to create this website and make sure its content looks gorgeous so that they entice your taste buds more.

I am a die-hard fan of spicy food, buffets and Japanese cuisine.

Due to my grandma’s fantastic cooking skills of Cantonese & local dishes, my love of food (and weight) grew as I grow up.

Or Yong Fang

Hi guys, I am the administrator of The Five Spoons' Facebook page and the scriptwriter of our self-produced video series, 'Pongchak Adventures'.

Just like the Serving Spoon which is used to serve people food, I serve you updates about our experiences while food-hunting.

I like Chinese cuisine and foods that are spicy and salty.

This is because since young, my grandmother and mother have been cooking many delicious dishe for me to eat.

Daryl Ang

Hi guys, I am Daryl. I manage the blog’s Twitter account and also contribute articles/ scripts for The Five Spoons.

Like how you’ll use a flat spoon to spread butter on every corner of the bread, my goal is to spread awareness of our food blog through the power of Twitter to a widespread audience.

I really like Asian food, especially Japanese, Korean and of course Singaporean! Therefore, my posts will feature my favourite oriental delights found in Singapore.

I can’t guarantee that you’ll always like the food that I recommend but I can promise you this- I’ll definitely make you hungry!
