For many people, food is more than just something to eat. It is part of everyday life, whether it is a comforting home-cooked meal, a favourite dish or something worth posting online. One helper in Singapore has been turning her meals and special moments into a casual video diary, giving viewers a glimpse into her life while working in Singapore.
From noodle soup and seafood to Filipino favourites and birthday celebrations, her videos have caught viewers’ attention for being simple, relatable and, honestly, pretty delicious. The comments have also opened up conversations about how helpers are treated in different households.
Her Food Diary Has Plenty Of Good Food
In one video, the helper shows off a bowl of noodle soup packed with green vegetables, big prawns and a sunny-side-up egg. She looks genuinely happy with the meal, and viewers were quick to hype up the food in the comments.
“You made it look so yummy!” one commenter wrote, while another called it a yummy and healthy meal and told her to enjoy.
Her food diary does not stop there. One episode is titled “Ep. 3 Rice and Lumpiang Sunog”, featuring the Filipino dish with rice. Other videos show chicken adobo, pork chop, chicken feet and stir-fried shrimp, along with plenty of other home-cooked dishes.
Basically, if it looks good, it might make it into her food diary.
Instead of making the videos feel overly polished, she keeps them casual and personal. Each post captures another meal, making the collection feel like a digital diary of her everyday life in Singapore.
Viewers Start Sharing Their Stories
The food videos also got people talking about their experiences with domestic helpers.
One commenter said their family helper eats whatever the family eats and sits together with everyone at the table. Another replied that they thought such treatment was the norm too.
But not everyone had the same experience.
One commenter shared that some distant relatives who are considered wealthy do not treat their helpers like family. Another pushed back on the discussion, pointing out that the helper seems comfortable enough to film herself in the kitchen and share her food online.
The comments show that there is no single experience when it comes to working as a helper. Different households have different routines, expectations and relationships.
Still, the main character of these videos is clearly the food.
From a bowl of noodles to a plate of Filipino comfort food, the helper seems to genuinely enjoy documenting what she eats. And honestly, the comments suggest viewers are enjoying watching her food journey too.
Her Birthday Gets A Sweet Moment Too
Her videos are not just about meals. In another post, she shares how she celebrated her birthday as a helper in Singapore, complete with a birthday cake and a sweet thank-you message to her “beloved employers and two little friends”.
The two little friends appear to be children she cares for, making the birthday post feel like another personal moment from her life with the family.
Viewers were quick to join in too. One commenter praised the food combination and gave special attention to the sambal, while another simply told her to enjoy her meal.
She replied to some of the comments with equally warm responses, keeping the whole interaction light and friendly.
It is these small moments that make her videos feel relatable. She is not trying to make everyday life look perfect. She is simply sharing good food, happy moments and little memories along the way.
And judging by the comments, viewers are more than happy to follow along.
