From use-by to best before, 80% of Singaporeans are confused by the terms printed on their food labels. What do these labels mean? And what happens if the product is past its expiry date? A typical household in Singapore throws away an average of 19.6kg of expired food every year. But does all of it have to be thrown away?
Join our two kitchen amateurs, Kelvin and Ridhwan, as they go on a zero-waste journey to uncover when expired foods should actually be discarded.
With the guidance of Chef Isaac Henry, our boys will learn essential pantry management, how to decode printed labels, and even hacks on how to use expired foods in everyday cooking!
With hardly any cooking experience, how will Kelvin and Ridhwan fare in a zero waste cook-off against each other, using only expired goods?

研究顯示,米飯、麵包和麵食等碳水化合物是新加坡最常被丟棄的食物類別。無論是在家中用餐還是在外就餐,碳水化合物長期以來都被視為便宜的飽肚物。我們的兩位惜食新手,Melissa和Benji,也抱著這種不在意態度,所以主持人Isaac決定讓他們體驗在新加坡的一個迷你稻田裡工作!認識到種植一粒米所需的資源和努力後,Melissa和Benji走進廚房,學習如何改造吃不完的碳水化合物。他們的學習之旅以一場獨特的烹飪比賽作結——他們要利用盡量利用隔夜的碳水化合物來製作不同的菜色。看看他們如何能讓這些曾經被忽視的主食創造新生命吧!
Studies have shown that carbohydrates like rice, bread and noodles are the most widely discarded food group in Singapore. Whether we eat at home or dine out, carbs have long been taken for granted as ‘cheap fillers’.
Our two zero waste newbies, Melissa and Benji, also have this careless attitude, so host Isaac decides to get them toiling at a mini rice field – right here in Singapore!
With a newfound respect for the resources and effort it takes to grow a single grain of rice, Melissa and Benji head to the kitchen to learn ways to transform leftover carbs.
They cap off their learning journey with a unique cook-off – utilising as many types of stale carbohydrates as they can! What kind of new life can they breathe into these previously unloved staples?
