Apple Hong Embraces Singaporean Identity
From South Korean Star to Singaporean Citizen
Apple Hong—yes, the Little Black Book resident whose signature looks—just turned 43 and decided to move from Seoul to Singapore. In a recent Instagram post, she announced that she’s officially a Singaporean. She wrote a breezy, heartfelt caption that goes something like this:
“Suddenly, I feel like I’ve been granted a fresh passport for the soul. Here’s to new adventures, local cuisine, and a chance to shout ‘kong say!’ in real life instead of on TikTok!”Apple’s takeover of Singapore feels like a natural twist: the city’s multicultural vibe and vibrant food scene are perfect for her globetrotting vibe.
She mentioned the country’s tech-savvy lifestyle, close proximity to mainland talent, and excellent foodie scene—think hawker stalls, celebrity coffeewars, and a buzzing night market.
Not at all. She swapped KR’s BJ+ for BFFs (Best Friends Forever) who introduced her to local slang and “proper” kray.
A Singaporean Apple might eventually run her own line of mobile accessories. Think sticker‑tastic phone cases, a line of edible phone‑case snacks to keep it delicious!
“Looking forward to exploring all the hidden tunnels of Singapore and maybe even opening a sommelier‑run boutique,” she joked in her story highlights.TL;DR: Apple Hong is officially Singaporean and quite excited about learning to speak kong say!
Story of a Prisoner Who Cooked for His Daughter
A Kitchen Surprise at Changi
The heart‑warming story comes from a Changi Prison inmate who, for the very first time in a culinary competition, cooked a meal for his daughter. In a suitcase-sized kitchen—imagine a small apartment plus a tiny stove—our protagonist simplified his usual routine, determined to make his daughter feel special.
“I wanted to cook because I didn’t want to disappoint her any longer.”The guy says this after being accepted to a cooking challenge while still behind bars. His mission:to showcase the quality and flavour of a meal that might ordinarily excite any foodie in the crowd at a “Home‑cooking” competition.
The Menu
He added that his favourite dish, Michelin‑rated and cooked just for the dinner show, was common enough & makes his life easier, and that he would feel ecstatic if he could ‘teach 지금이라도 다을수 있다 가치가 (some score).’
Why This is Hilariously Moving
If one thinks about mirroredstyle and synesthetic, healthiest taste! He served the simple side dish of green kale in a “차가운 오징어 샐러드” at the brief case.
