Remember when Instagram only allowed you to publish square photos? Yeah, Jonathan Ooi can’t either. With his account (a clever pun on his surname, pronounced ‘we’ — as in, we go makan) that focuses on portrait-sized photos, you know that being orthodox is totally not his style. With relatable captions that will make him seem totally down-to-earth, get a glimpse of his food adventures without worrying about the calories!

Drella’s Instagram bio states that we can’t make everyone happy, but her feed certainly does. With an impeccable eye for framing and editing, her Instagram account hits the right spot on all levels, making all her meals look absolutely heavenly. We have a personal weak spot for her dessert photos (how can someone drizzle sauce so cleanly), but everything else looks good enough to, well, eat!

How can food possibly look this good? Chew Qianwei cleverly uses her surname as a pun to form her online moniker, @chewwwie, and embraces that identity wholeheartedly. While documenting her food adventures on both her Instagram and blog, Qianwei is also working a day-time job while juggling night classes. And, if that sounds like too much, she’s also an avid traveller, marking her travels on social media too.

If you think that food Instagrammers only manage to take good shots because of their fancy cameras, be prepared to be proved wrong by Thomas K. While he posts about his life in general, we are particularly fond of his food photos because they just look too good. With a signature flatlay setup that shows you the full spread of his cafe-hopping adventures with his child in tow, it seems impossible to be bored by this account.

Clara Chua works hard and plays hard. Not only does she eat well, she ensures that she’s exercising well as well, keeping a balanced lifestyle. But, of course, we are focusing on her tasty food shots that are enough to make our stomach groan in hunger. With the right mixture of hawker eats that defines the Singapore culture, to fine dining meals that look too good to eat, you’ll definitely find what you are looking for here.

There’s a humble and down-to-earth charm that is exemplified by her captions, which makes this an incredible account to follow.

There’s a tendency for Instagrammers to make a clever pun out of their name, and Felicia Sim embraces that wholeheartedly. Her affection for food can be seen from her Instagram bio, all the way to the tiny details in her posts. Not only was she awarded Burpple Tastemaker for three consecutive years, her beautifully taken pictures only highlights how wonderful the food she has eaten would have tasted.

Beautifully taken pictures of lip-smacking, jaw-dropping food. What’s not to like?

Ahhh, the sizzle of the grill and the tantalising smells that waft straight into our nostrils — it is probably a universal truth that food is one of life’s greatest gifts. With fresh ingredients from the earth and sea, cooking methods that evolve the beauty and texture of our dishes, and magnificent food styling that never fails to get our cameras flashing, dining on a well-prepared meal is certainly an experience worth capturing. From the first bite to the last, good food (no matter the price point or dish) will make anyone happy, and the rumbling of your stomach is enough to ascertain its deliciousness.

But, what happens if you’re not able to eat out? Perhaps you’re stuck in the office, mindlessly typing on your computer while your belly hankers for a meal. Maybe you are on your way back with a takeaway bag in your hands. Either way, food Instagrammers are here to fill that void in your heart (or, well, your tummy) and there’s nothing better than local Instagrammers to get you excited about the offerings right here on our little island. So, scroll back up and check out these 10 food Instagrammers dishing out the best of the best from our local cafes, restaurants and eateries. Time to get jealous!
