Haven’t found the need to improve or upgrade anything I have in the kitchen unlike my first few years of home ownership.

Here’s everything you need, and that will work without being detrimental to your health + last long enough to make it worth buying:

• Rubber cutting board – One of the best surfaces to cut on + dishwasher safe, unlike wood cutting boards. Pricey, but lasts a long time as compared to other materials

  • Shopee: https://s.shopee.sg/6py83bcfRK

  • Lazada: https://s.lazada.sg/s.U1yCp?c=a&t=p-i388Max-sLcVVVk

• Beautiful wood cutting board – https://s.shopee.sg/1LdBVtuRxw

• Budget-friendly wood cutting board – https://s.shopee.sg/9UytEzgNoG

• Stainless steel knives, the only ones you will ever need

  • Santoku, most similar to chef’s knife: https://s.shopee.sg/4VaDH99zyi

  • Utility knife: https://s.shopee.sg/20ssIbX5IU (I find the 12cm very useful for aromatics & fruits)

  • Asian chopper: https://s.shopee.sg/110L6qTVe9 (Love this for hard veggies like sweet potatoes)

  • Bread knife: https://s.shopee.sg/BRE7HkCw7

• Kitchen scissors sharp enough to cut through meats – Tried other models from this brand, and also FUKURO & Kitchenaid. I don’t recommend them because they cannot be split open to maintain hygiene

  • https://s.shopee.sg/110L7TSGEL

• Peeler – https://s.lazada.sg/s.U1B3o?c=a&t=p-i3yA1Qc-sQFepc2 (I’ve been using this same one for 6 years)

• Food processor – https://s.shopee.sg/6py84Rorlh (My favourite one after trying 3 other brands)

• Food-safe food prep gloves – https://s.shopee.sg/3B4phjQ06t (Also have to trust me on this one because I use them everyday when I cook and I tried so many brands. This one doesn’t tear easily and is priced fairly. There are cheaper ones but they are shit haha)
