If we look at the Movement Control Order (MCO) in a different light, there are some silver linings.
With the MCO forcing many food businesses (including our favourite joints) to shutter - and not to mention the COVID-19 scare that we have on food delivery - we are left with just our own cooking skills to survive.
This stay-at-home period actually brings out the cook in us, even novice ones, because let's face it, we all have to eat no matter what happens around the world.
In fact, people in China, South Korea, and Italy, who have to stay at home due to the outbreak in their countries, have reportedly picked up cooking projects as new hobbies.
How cool is that?
To aid you along in this journey to prepare something edible to stave off your hunger pangs, several local chefs have taken to social media to share with you simple meals that you can make at the comfort of your homes.
We know that most of you guys have your pantry stocked with food items like canned tuna or salmon, chickpeas, lentils, nut butter, and pasta, so, we’ve compiled some of the recipes shared by these chefs to aid you along in your everyday meals.
