From healthy nibbles to indulgent local faves, this mix of bites is perfect for every tastebud. Let’s go!

 

1. Baked kale chips with olive oil and sea salt

If you think kale is just rabbit food, think again.

When baked with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt, these kale chips turn into the crispiest, crunchiest snack that’ll rival any bag of potato crisps.

Ingredients:

• Fresh kale leaves (remove thick stems)
• Olive oil
• Sea salt
• Optional: garlic powder, chilli flakes

Tip: Make sure the kale is dry before baking, then toss with olive oil and seasoning. Bake at 160°C for around 12–15 minutes until crispy.

You can eat them on its own or crumble over salads as a topping.

It’s gluten free, low fat, and totally addictive!

2. Beetroot hummus with veggie sticks

Ok, this one not only looks pretty, it’s also power packed with flavour and nutrients.

The beetroot gives the hummus a nice earthy taste, plus vibrant colour — totally IG-worthy.

Plus, it’s a healthier alternative to cream-based dips.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked chickpeas
• 1 small roasted beetroot
• 1 tbsp tahini
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Lemon juice and salt to taste

Blend everything until smooth. Serve with sliced cucumbers, carrots, or rice cakes for a gluten-free, guilt-free treat.

This one is a healthy snack, high in fibre and full of flavour. Add a dash of chilli flakes for that Singapore-style kick!

3. Chickpea and spinach patties

Chickpeas are a versatile ingredient and when combined with spinach, they make a protein-packed, healthy snack that’s great for meal prep too.

Plus, very flexible: eat as a snack, side dish, or even a quick meal with some salad.

Ingredients:

• 1 can chickpeas
• 1 cup spinach (chopped)
• 2 tbsp flour (or gluten-free alternative)
• Garlic powder, salt, pepper

Mash everything together, shape into small patties and pan-fry with olive oil till golden. Crispy outside, soft inside.

You can serve with a side of guacamole or beetroot hummus. Shiok!

4. Guacamole with rice cakes

Got ripe avocado at home? Don’t waste them!

Just whack them up into guacamole, and they become the perfect dip or spread.

Quick guac recipe:

• 1 ripe avocado
• Sea salt, lime juice
• Optional: chopped spring onions, chilli flakes, coriander

Mash everything together and spoon over rice cakes or eat as a dip with veggie chips.

Healthy, tasty, and super fast to whip up when hunger pangs hit.

5. Tahu begedil

Now for something closer to home. Tahu begedil is a traditional Malay snack that combines fried tofu with a spiced potato filling.

Usually paired with sambal kicap (sweet and spicy soy-based chilli sauce) to dip also. But it's so leceh to make from scratch, right?

Thanks to Foodcrumz, you can now enjoy this classic without the mess of making it from scratch.

Their Tahu Begedil is halal, frozen, and easy to prepare — just pop into the air fryer or deep fryer, and boom, ready in minutes. Perfect for tea time, potluck, or even supper.

Pair with the included spicy sambal kicap, or your preferred favourite sambal, or just eat it as-is. This one sure hit at gatherings lah.

6. Sardine curry puffs

You know those old-school sardine curry puffs (epok-epok sardin) we used to get from the canteen stall or neighbourhood bakery?

Flaky on the outside, spicy and tangy on the inside, it's simple but oh-so-satisfying.

And Foodcrumz has that for you!

It comes frozen, so you just fry or air-fry when the craving hits. No need to wrap pastry or cook the filling yourself.

Best enjoyed with kopi or teh peng, and that's your tea time settled!

7. Mini cheesy garlic potato bakes

This one's a bit indulgent, but sometimes, all you need is something hot and cheesy.

These mini potato bakes hit all the right notes! Comforting, crunchy on the outside, melty inside.

Ingredients:

• Mashed potatoes
• Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• Garlic powder, salt
• Optional: chopped spring onions or paprika

Mix everything, scoop into muffin tray, top with extra cheese, and bake at 180°C until golden brown. Shiok to serve with soup, or just eat as is.

These are great for gatherings or served as a savoury side dish with soup or salad.

8. Vegetable spring rolls (popiah sayur)

No savoury snacks list is complete without vegetable spring rolls.

Crispy on the outside, savoury veggies mix on the inside. Easy to cook and always satisfying.
