It’s been 16 years since my television and theatre days. Who knew radio would be so all-consuming and take me away from the silver screen and stage? 😝

But I make a small (& tasty) return with a heartwarming show that combines my two passions - cooking and conversations about love. And this time not only does #MattTheHubsters get to be a part of it but also my cookbook “Smitten in the Kitchen, 60 Recipes for Love” @smitteninthekitchen and my coco-beeswax candle range inspired by my recipes @thesmittencollection. 💛

Our episode on #MakanTimeStories by @relish.sg_sogood will be aired only some time next year but you can catch the current season on MeWatch. 📺

This was only part one of filming! 🎥 This weekend, I get in the kitchen with host @nicholas.ian.voon to show him how to make 4 things from my cookbook!👩🏻‍🍳💋

Can’t wait to see it all come together! 🤩

[💥SAVE THIS RECIPE💥] Protein & fibre are you

[💥SAVE THIS RECIPE💥] Protein & fibre are your best friends whether you are dealing with #perimenopause or digestion issues or you just need lots of good energy & nutrition. 💛

This English Muffin Chicken-Tofu-Chickpea Patty with Sauerkraut is #highprotein, #highfibre & so delicious.

FOR THE PATTY
1kg/2.2lbs chicken breast, sliced
400g/14oz lean pork loin, sliced
450g/16oz firm tofu (tau kwa), diced
400g/14oz canned chickpeas + liquids (aqua faba)
6-8 cloves garlic
3 tsp ground lemongrass, bottled
2 green chillies, deseeded
big bunch of herbs - basil, parsley, coriander, spring onion
2 tsp salt
2 tsp avocado oil
1 heaping tbs tomato paste

In a food processor, blend everything until minced. Work in batches! Freeze half the portion in a ziplock bag as you will need to cook these within 2 days. Use spoons to shape the patty. Drizzle with olive oil and crack of pepper then airfry for 8 min at 180ºC/356ºF and then 5 min at 200ºC/400ºF or until golden brown. Makes 20 patties.

⭐️ I am loving this prebiotic soda from @drink_bobby #notsponsored while cooking with my coco-beeswax candles from @thesmittencollection, especially when doing batch meal preps (this took 3 hours to prep but just 10 min to whip up when you need it!).

⭐️ FUN FACT: Beeswax actually purifies the air so you can eliminate food smells while enjoying the warm glow. Shop in link in bio! 🐝🥥🕯️

✨SMITTEN NUTRITION✨
Did you know that perimenopause can also affect your gastrointestinal tract, because your hormones play a big role in the way your body digests food! Common issues include bloating, gas, indigestion, acid reflux, constipation & diarrhea.

Eating fermented foods such as sauerkraut & consuming at least 21g of fibre daily (for women) can help your digestion & #guthealth. Also fibre helps keep you full longer, which can curb cravings & help with #weightmanagement.

This meal provides a total of 6g of fiber & 35g of protein. 💪🏼

[💥GIVEAWAY💥] Grab my cookbook “Smitten in the Kitchen, 60 Recipes for Love” at $45 at @epigrambookshop and get a free $45 e-voucher to take home coco-beeswax candles from my e-shop + two FREE e-cookbooks from my series! (While stocks last!) ⭐️

📚After just 2 years of being stocked at this homegrown bookshop, they are sadly shutting down by the end of the year as their lease runs out at the temporary location for the @singaporeartmuseum.

📚Rental costs islandwide have gone sky high, forcing other bookstores (like Times) to close down too. This truly is a travesty! Books are priceless and so precious. There’s nothing like the feel and smell of a physical book written from the heart and soul of the author - without the use of AI & ChatGPT!! Don’t you agree?

And @epigrambooks have done so much to support the local literary scene. So while there, be sure to purchase any other book that catches your fancy … and grab a cuppa too. ☕️ #supportlocal

#throwback to last Saturday where we hung out with

#throwback to last Saturday where we hung out with supermodels, enjoyed too much wine and made a bid at the private auction for a villa for 8 in Phuket… and WON! 🎉

Was a fancy and fun evening raising funds for @downsyndromesingapore featuring a meaningful fashion show by @pamagency with iconic faces like @patforpam @patkraal Singapore’s first supermodel to walk the runways in Paris and is still dazzling as ever and the ever-beautiful and inspiring Ms Singapore Universe 1987, speaker, coach and author @marionnicoleteo.

I was also so stoked to finally meet @suzyfromsingapore whose IG account i follow avidly & to hang out with media/TV friends @jasminalimina @justinemoss @galenyeo69 & @sheilawyatt. 🤩

We were also charmed by our very eloquent Speaker for Parliament, Mr @seahkianpeng who called for more inclusion, reminding us that “every individual deserves the opportunity to thrive and be celebrated for who they are.”

Some fast facts about #downsyndrome :
▪️1 in 700 babies are born with down syndrome in Singapore and their life expectancy has gone from 20 to 60.
▪️While they have a naturally happy go-lucky disposition, the extra chromosome means they are 50-80% more likely to get dementia compared to the majority of the population who face a 10% risk.

✨How to Help✨:
1️⃣ Make a donation, pledge your birthday or create a legacy donation/! Donations are eligible for 250% tax relief!
2️⃣ Volunteer! Volunteers play an important role in providing friendship, care and support through various meaningful activities and uplifting the wellbeing of the community.
3️⃣ Be a corporate partner and offer your services pro-bono, arrange talks to raise awareness or hold a fundraiser.
4️⃣ Support their artwork! They have some beautiful paintings (many have already sold out) and they also make and sell candles.

Information for all the above at https://downsyndrome-singapore.org

Most of all… be kind. Let’s strive to be a more inclusive, kinder and supportive Singapore. 🇸🇬 ♥️

What an absolute honour to have emceed 🎤 the la

What an absolute honour to have emceed 🎤 the launch of “Empower Her”, the theme for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2024 alongside their #byherside #fightbreastcancer social media campaign. @bcfsg @tantocksenghospital

🩷 The wonderful Ms Jane Ittogi graced the event as our Guest-of-Honour and gave an inspiring speech about how studies have shown that women having children later in life can put us at a higher risk for developing breast cancer. She also reminded us of the importance of eating well, exercising regularly, being by the ocean or close to nature often and surrounding ourselves with positive friendships.

🩷 Meanwhile, @dr_juliana_breastsurg opened the event emphasising how early detection saves lives and while better treatment and emotional support have seen a drop in death rates, we must continue to remind each other to go for regular screenings and do our monthly self-examinations.

🩷 The highlight for me, however, aside from fangirling over Ms Ittogi, was the Walk of Resilience featuring a bevy of beauties at different stages of battling breast cancer. The ladies strutted their stuff on the pink catwalk exuding so much courage, confidence and tenacity that the audience could not stop cheering and applauding. All that #girlpower got this seasoned #emcee a little emotional and i wasn’t ashamed to admit it! 😝

🩷 Look out for a month-load of activities including a festival and the moving Mammobus where i learnt some other shocking facts thanks to survivor @quppie.
▫️While the official numbers state that cancer strikes 1 in 13 women in their lifetime, the actual figures are closer to 1 in 5.
▫️There is an increase in breast cancer amongst women younger than 50
▫️#Breastcancer in younger women, especially pregnant or nursing mothers is more aggressive because of the surge of hormones.
▫️Many husbands have been the ones to first discover abnormal lumps in their wives breasts!

So be sure to go for your #mammogram ladies because #mammogramssavelives! 🎀#breastcancerawareness #breastcancerawarenessmonth

It was a SCENTsational time at our first ✨Smitte

It was a SCENTsational time at our first ✨Smitten Sniff & Sip Session✨ with chilled rose in crystal glasses and strawberry cream tarts from @bakersbrewstudio (omg sooooo good 🍓)

When I am not onstage emceeing or helping business professionals hone & sharpen their public speaking & presentation skills, I also run a home fragrance company @thesmittencollection!

Today was such a fun & relaxing day picking out scents for @hilaryhuangweiqi’s upcoming wedding! She brought three of her favourite scents as a starting point for the room sprays she wants @thesmittencollection to make for her guests. I was able to find ALL of them in my fragrance supplier’s catalogue of scents and dupes. But Hilary wanted to elevate it and make it more unique! So I brought out a variety of essential oil scents and selected fragrances to find the right match and create a new blend that is all her own. It was such a success we created THREE scents which she will name after her personal motto… Live, Laugh, Love! 🩷

🪩 Do you want to personalize your own door gifts for an upcoming baptism, wedding, corporate event or even just ONE special candle for a birthday or anniversary?

🪩 We take customized orders from as low as $150 and need at least 4-6 weeks advance notice (depending on availability) to create your own special scent from premium essential oils and phthalate-free fragrance oils.

🪩 We can even do a ✨Smitten Sniff & Sip Session✨ for a hen’s party where you and your guests can create your own room/pillow/body spray or liquid soap concoction. 🤩

🪩 Contact info in the link in bio! Or comment SMITTEN in the comments below and I will DM you directly!

🪩 Create your own scent and make:
▫️coco-beeswax candles (you can also choose your own jars)
▫️Soaps
▫️room/pillow/body spray

What’s your creative side hustle? 🕺🏻

I can’t tell if it’s my spelling that’s deteriorating… or my typing …. or my eyesight …. or my brains … or the number of fu@ks i have left to give…. or all the above and this is yet another thing to blame on #perimenopause! 🤔

If this is you too, don’t worry you’re not going crazy apparently this fun fact i found online explains it all. Thanks Dr Google. 🤯⬇️

“Firstly, the decrease in oestrogen levels affects the eyes’ overall health, including the retina, which is responsible for low-light vision. Secondly, perimenopause and menopause are associated with decreased rhodopsin production, a retina pigment that helps with night vision.”

Well that’s just great innit! 🙄 Anyone else with me? 👩🏼‍🦳🩶🤍🪩

It’s time to let science step in to help preserve what nature and my mama gave me. 😂

In all my 49 years I have never done anything fancier than a regular facial to my face, mainly because I was always worried about aesthetic treatments being too painful. 🙈

Happy to report this combo treatment was painless and comfortable (there’s just a light zingy sensation) and is an effective alternative to HiFu or Ultherapy (which i’ve heard can be a bit more intense). 🕺🏻 #ultherapy

The two machines combine ultrasound and radio frequency to target the deeper layers of skin where structural weakening starts.

By encouraging your skin to rebuild natural collagen, your face becomes plumper and firmer while your jawline becomes more defined.

Amazing right! Results do differ so be sure to ask your questions during the consultation. The best part is there’s no downtime!!! 🤩

Looking forward to my next session with @drelias_tam as I glow up to 50! @ultraformermpt.idsmed @ehaclinicsg

✨No gatekeeping here, i will be sharing all my beauty secrets and discoveries as i transform my career, fitness and beauty in #CherylTransformationJourney.✨

Do you have a #beautysecret to share?

✨Excited to announce a new partnership with @suc

✨Excited to announce a new partnership with @suchehwa_by_ted as I start my #greyblending journey and #glowupto50 (in August 2025).✨

🪩 @suchehwa_kazu is an expert with hair colour and was SO patient with my many questions and concerns about #goinggrey.

🪩 There are several approaches to #embracingyourgreys and I admittedly took the most high maintenance one. 😅

🪩 The easiest is to lighten the whole head at once and gradually work towards a shade that matches your natural greys.

🪩 Another is to grow out as much of your natural greys as possible (about 4 inches is a good place to start) - a process that could take a few months & getting creative with wearing hats and scarves to hide your multi-coloured hair.

🪩 But because the eventual look I envision is streaks of silver peeking through what was once my natural Asian black hair (apparently I am 50% grey now!), we decided to go with ash blonde highlights to start with at a 35% bleach rate. As more of my whites grow out we’ll increase the percentage of bleached hair & eventually we’ll get to the point where I can just grow out the whites and add low lights of black streaks to jazz things up. 👩🏼‍🦳🩶

🪩 It’s a process & it’s important that you “work with what you have” as @suchehwa_kazu wisely said.

Are you ready to #gosilver too? 🤩

✨PROMOCODE: Name drop #CherylMiles for an exclusive 15% off your next hair appointment at @suchehwa_by_ted ✨

➡️ Follow for more of my #CherylTransformationJourney where i reinvent my health, image AND career as I prepare for my #SilverEra & #countdownto50 (August 2025).

Let’s #embraceaging & be the #bestversionofyourself at every stage of this wonderful life! Who’s with me? 🪩🤍🩶👩🏼‍🦳
