Here&#8217;s what our foodies have been loving this year so far!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Plant-based alternative meats continue to rise in popularity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we introduced alternative meat recipes into our meal rotation of 30+ recipes in May 2023, we&#8217;ve seen a steady pick up in the selection of these new dishes. While the selection still remains relatively low in comparison &#8211; there is increasing interest in these new and different dishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among these offerings, the standout fave of 2023 is our 15-minute Singaporean &#8220;Chicken&#8221; Plant-based Laksa Dumplings with Creamy Miso Sauce. This delightful dish has emerged as the most sought-after alternative meat recipe among My Food Bag customers, owing to its kicked-up flavours and quick preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"24796\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/PB-15-Minute-Singaporean-Laksa-Dumplings-with-Creamy-Miso-Sauce-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24796\" title=\"\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/PB-15-Minute-Singaporean-Laksa-Dumplings-with-Creamy-Miso-Sauce-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/PB-15-Minute-Singaporean-Laksa-Dumplings-with-Creamy-Miso-Sauce-300x300.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/PB-15-Minute-Singaporean-Laksa-Dumplings-with-Creamy-Miso-Sauce-150x150.jpg 150w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/PB-15-Minute-Singaporean-Laksa-Dumplings-with-Creamy-Miso-Sauce-768x768.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/PB-15-Minute-Singaporean-Laksa-Dumplings-with-Creamy-Miso-Sauce-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/PB-15-Minute-Singaporean-Laksa-Dumplings-with-Creamy-Miso-Sauce-500x500.jpg 500w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/PB-15-Minute-Singaporean-Laksa-Dumplings-with-Creamy-Miso-Sauce-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/PB-15-Minute-Singaporean-Laksa-Dumplings-with-Creamy-Miso-Sauce-1280x1280.jpg 1280w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/PB-15-Minute-Singaporean-Laksa-Dumplings-with-Creamy-Miso-Sauce-980x980.jpg 980w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/PB-15-Minute-Singaporean-Laksa-Dumplings-with-Creamy-Miso-Sauce-480x480.jpg 480w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/PB-15-Minute-Singaporean-Laksa-Dumplings-with-Creamy-Miso-Sauce.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">15-minute Singaporean &#8220;Chicken&#8221; Plant-based Laksa Dumplings, Creamy Miso Sauce<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"884\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"24795\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/MC-Creamy-White-Bolognese-with-Plant-Based-Mince-Rigatoni-884x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24795\" title=\"\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/MC-Creamy-White-Bolognese-with-Plant-Based-Mince-Rigatoni-884x1024.jpg 884w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/MC-Creamy-White-Bolognese-with-Plant-Based-Mince-Rigatoni-259x300.jpg 259w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/MC-Creamy-White-Bolognese-with-Plant-Based-Mince-Rigatoni-768x889.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/MC-Creamy-White-Bolognese-with-Plant-Based-Mince-Rigatoni-1327x1536.jpg 1327w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/MC-Creamy-White-Bolognese-with-Plant-Based-Mince-Rigatoni-1080x1250.jpg 1080w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/MC-Creamy-White-Bolognese-with-Plant-Based-Mince-Rigatoni-1280x1482.jpg 1280w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/MC-Creamy-White-Bolognese-with-Plant-Based-Mince-Rigatoni-980x1135.jpg 980w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/MC-Creamy-White-Bolognese-with-Plant-Based-Mince-Rigatoni-480x556.jpg 480w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/MC-Creamy-White-Bolognese-with-Plant-Based-Mince-Rigatoni.jpg 1382w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 884px) 100vw, 884px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Creamy White Bolognese with Plant-Based &#8216;Mince&#8217; &amp; Rigatoni<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.
