Nutritionist Shan Shan Feng is the creator of healthy snacks line Nomsoftheday (nomsoftheday.com), offering a range of nuts coated with herbs and spices
I love spicy. My mom is Singaporean but I’m from Hong Kong. I put chilli on everything but I like variety too. I like sharing dishes, mostly because I always want to try everything and prefer smaller meals, so I can have more variety throughout the day.
It is also why I started Nomsoftheday, making delicious, healthy, portable, resealable snacks loaded with my unique mixture of spices to satisfy cravings.
I’m a big supporter of local, small businesses since I’ve started my own. I’m in Sai Kung most weekends, hiking or doing water sports. Tucked away in an alley is Food Story (Ko Fu Building, 58-72 Fuk Man Road, Sai Kung, tel: 5703 7387).
I love their unique flavour snack combinations, especially the Taiwanese egg roll with taro and meat floss and the cheese truffle egg roll. I love fried food although I try to avoid it, but their chicken is hormone-free and air-fried.
