The heart of Jamie's waterfront home is the kitchen, fitted with state-of-the-art V-Zug appliances where she whips up hearty dishes with intention, using ingredients lovingly grown in her lush garden
Jamie Chua is a bold woman—and we mean that in the best way. The public knows her best as @ec24m, her Instagram profile that’s garnered over 1.3million followers for years of content that see her living life to the fullest. From jet setting across the globe and indulging her penchant for kaleidoscopic designer goods, to attending fetes that she documents in true Jamie fashion: glamorously and audaciously.
But recent months have seen a quieter and dare we say a more gloriously domestic side to her, having moved into her new home at Sentosa Cove in January. “It’s my slice of paradise", Chua expresses, referring to her three-storey bungalow that was designed with a sophisticated sanctuary in mind, comprising the finest textures, state-of-the-art V-Zug appliances and plush, minimalist furniture.

Ever so lush and idyllic, this waterfront abode is a reflection of the new Jamie. She has since adopted a more holistic approach to daily life, embracing a “slow living” lifestyle from her diet that’s become a lot more healthful, to incorporating morning rituals like gardening that help her to mindfully savour the simple things. “We grow a lot of our own herbs that we use to flavour our dishes and steep in teas—my favourite is lemon myrtle; and we have freshly laid eggs from the hens in our chicken pen, so I have variations of eggs every single day,” she muses. “With each ingredient carefully selected from my garden, and each dish prepared with intention, I’ve discovered the true joys of nourishing my body and soul”.

“So you can tell, the kitchen is truly the heart of home,” she affirms.
This kitchen is a sprawling open concept that’s sleek and inviting, bathed in sunlight streaming in from the wall-to-wall glass doors that flank the entire space and dining area. Her affinity for home-cooked meals and baking is reflected in the full collection of V-Zug appliances that cater to her hearty—and healthy—appetite, which include the V-Zug Combair V6000 oven with automatic cooking functions; and the CombiSteamer V6000—both fashioned in gleaming pearl mirror glass. “We use these for all sorts of dishes, from lemon pound cakes and Sunday roasts, to nourishing soups lovingly brewed for hours”, she describes.
This side of her kitchen is also fitted with the V-Zug Vacuum Drawer, which is a seamless sealing solution for chef-like, sous-vide cooking and marination of meat cuts. Beyond optimal preservation and storing, this stellar appliance also helps to portion Chua's freshly cut fruit she uses for her daily juice blends.

The rest of her marble-bedecked kitchen features the V-Zug Induction Cooktop V4000—where all of Chua’s daily meals are prepared—which has a nifty PowerPlus feature that produces extra power and increased heat for moments you need to cook something fast; and the spacious Combicooler V6000 Supreme, which features flexible modules to optimise cooling according to each compartment's needs—making organisation a breeze.
The high performance, low-energy consumption refrigerator also includes combined freezer with separate cooling compartments and a built-in IceMaker. A fan of hosting delightfully decadent dinner parties, Chua used the Supreme Freezer to make her signature floral ice spheres: “I used sweet williams specially for today’s shoot,” she adds.

“Embracing slow living has transformed my relationship with my family, food and myself; and to never compromise on quality, my sleek V-Zug appliances have elevated my newfound daily rituals”, she says, seated on her dining table before taking a sip of a 20-hour brewed collagen-packed broth.
“It’s not just about the food; it’s about welcoming a more meaningful pace of life—savouring each moment, and finding true beauty in simplicity… and efficiency”.
