Moreover\, based on our observation\, we do know that there are pockets of unused food within the food industry that can most certainly be put to better use. \nTherefore\, based on our sincere passion for food\, The Food Bank Singapore was set out by Nichol & Nicholas Ng. To find out more about The Food Bank Singapore\, simply navigate www.foodbank.sg . \n  \n  \n  \nAbout Spoonful’s Philosophy \nSpoonful’s philosophy is “Food For Thought With a Smile “. Through Food & Cooking events\, we want the society to pay attention to increase how precious food is and the origins of food. Leveraging on our F&B activities\, we would like to increase awareness of people and communities in other part of the world where food is luxury.
