It’s summer in France right now — sunny café terraces, baskets full of market-fresh tomatoes, the smell of herbs drifting through the air… and while we might be in Singapore, we can still bring a little slice of that French sunshine to our plates.
Meet OCNI seasoning pencils. Yes, pencils. For food. Made in France. Instead of sprinkling or pouring, you sharpen these little gourmet sticks over your dish. One quick twist and — voilà — your salad is dressed with paper-thin shavings of flavor. A bit dramatic? Absolutely. Totally delicious? Also yes.
They come in all sorts of French-inspired blends — think Lemon & Thyme for a zesty Mediterranean kick, Chili & Garlic for a fiery touch, or Curry & Turmeric for a warm, golden glow. Perfect for salads, seafood, grilled veggies… basically anything that deserves a little “ooh là là.”
Here’s one of my go-to quick summer plates: toss some fresh salad greens, cucumber slices, and cherry tomatoes together, drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon, crumble over a bit of feta, and then shave an OCNI Lemon & Thyme pencil right on top. The smell alone will have you feeling like you’re on holiday in Provence.
The best part? It works just as well for Singapore’s tropical weather. Light, fresh, and a little bit fancy — no passport required.
You can find the whole OCNI collection right here at Frenchy Corner Singapore. Your salads will never be boring again.
