Best for the baking enthusiast, gym bro who only takes egg white protein, or the health conscious colleague of yours, egg yolk separators are very useful and downright cheap.

Here, this cute chicken ceramic egg yolk separator will make an impressive gift. At $13.29, you get a pack of two (for two friends, perhaps?).

Otherwise, there are plastic options ranging from $0.76 (single egg yolk), $4 (double egg yolk), and up to $6.89 (five egg yolks).

Again, whether for the baker, cook, or the gym rat, this is one useful electric measuring spoon that you can easily recharge via a conventional USB port.

Your colleagues and friends can now accurately get the amount of baking yeast, or whey protein to add to their baking or pre-workout protein smoothie.

Rechargeable measuring spoon ranges from $8 to $11.

Forget about the conventional standing kitchen towel holders that we often use in Singapore. These days, you will find more clever and space-saving options on Taobao.

We love the Japanese-style kitchen napkin holders ($4.89) that neatly clip on to your cabinet shelves, stick-on paper towel holders ($4.59) that you can attach to the inner walls of your kitchen drawers or cabinets, and especially this magnetic paper napkin holder ($5.75) meant to be stuck on to the doors or sides of your fridge.

Wonderfully neat, tidy, and space-saving!

This one will definitely please both non-cookers and seasoned cooks – a multi-functional garlic chopper. Gone are the old hand-wound and manual garlic choppers. These days, you can get an electronic garlic, onion, chilli, pepper etc. chopper on Taobao for $4.99.

It’s a pretty cheap mini food grinder – pretty perfect for small batches of fresh baby puree and meals, too.

For that rice-loving friend or family aunty or uncle who cooks a lot, this rice, bean, vegetable, spaghetti (you name it!) strainer is going to be a useful tool.

This food strainer ($3.59) is made of food-grade plastic, allows you to tilt from end to end to collect or drain the water.
