Weekends At Home: Watch Gen Lee Cook Sustainably With Surprise Supplies

As countries across Southeast Asia started going into lockdown early last year, demand for online grocery shopping skyrocketed. According to Richard Ruddy, the head of grocery at Lazada and the chief of Redmart (the e-commerce platform's e-grocery unit), local farmers and growers were the ones who picked up the slack in supply chains that were suddenly broken.

Right now, as we remain in Phase 2 Heightened Alert, it's more important than ever to acknowledge the efforts of our local farmers with a sense of gratitude and pride.

Presenting "Surprise Supplies with Gen Lee", our makan video series that shines the spotlight on our local farmers and their lovingly grown produce. Hosted by MasterChef Singapore runner-up Gen Lee, this cooking programme has her crafting tasty dishes using "surprise supplies" brought in by local farmers. Binge-watch all the videos below, or tap on the links to go to the respective articles for each episode.
