I love the ocean, which is the reason why I live on a boat. It lets me appreciate what life has to offer at its simplest. Growing up in a modern society, a lot of my previous traditions and cultural roots seem faded and lost. I’m half Hainanese and half Peranakan, regardless 100% Singaporean. Food is the most beloved thing about my culture, and I would like to strive to keep it alive.

Food was great - def tasted like a warm home cooked meal. The samosas and palm sugar dessert were awesome! Desiree is a great host and fun conversationalist. We had some good laughs that night and would totally recommend this to others!!

Desiree was such a funny outgoing animated host, we had a good 7 people in her cozy boat and she worked her magic in the kitchen – learned a lot about Peranankan food/culture and tried a bunch of spices jams and foods that I would not know how to buy at supermarkets on my own. I'll definitely be recommending her to friends!

Great food and a wonderful experience. Desiree was a great host and introduced us to a bunch of Peranakan food, all of which were delicious. The stew with nuts was great. And of course everything tastes better on a boat!

The experience was exactly what I expected, and hoped, it would be- a warm, casual, mellow dinner on a sailboat. Awesome food and genuine people. Highly recommended.

Awesome! I booked for five of us and she managed to cook an amazing dinner for us in her small boat kitchen. We loved everything, the sardine puffs, the chicken stew, the dessert.
