“Today, I did a special food delivery to Antarctica from Singapore! Super excited to partner with the amazing folks at @foodpandasg to pull this off. It’s not every day that you get to deliver Singaporean flavours across 30,000+ km and four continents to one of the most remote places on earth!” she captioned the post.

In another post, she revealed that she was attempting to raise funds for her Antarctic expedition in 2021 and was looking for a brand to sponsor it.

Antarctica, the world’s southernmost continent and home to the South Pole, is a desolate wasteland covered in ice. The majority of Antarctic cruises visit the Antarctic Peninsula, which stretches toward South America. It’s famous for the iceberg-flanked passageways Lemaire Channel and Paradise Harbor, as well as Port Lockroy, a former British research station turned museum.

The continent of Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, and driest on Earth. At the Russian Vostok Station in Antarctica on July 21, 1983, 89.2 °C  was the coldest natural air temperature ever recorded on Earth. In the heart of the continent during the winter, average temperatures can drop as low as 80 °C, and in the summer, they can rise as high as 10 °C (50 °F) near the coast. 

Antarctica is a polar desert with little precipitation; on average, the continent receives 150 millimetres (6 inches) of water annually, primarily in the form of snow.
