100PLUS SEA GAMES CAMPAIGN RALLIES FELLOW SINGAPOREANS TO CHEER FOR TEAM SINGAPORE

Singaporean athletes are gearing up to outdo themselves in attaining at least 50 gold medals as a gift to the nation. The 100PLUS SEA GAMES campaign honours the contribution of Singapore's national athletes represented by Danny Yeo (Swimming), Isabelle Li (Table Tennis) and Calvin Kang (Athletics) and their journey to prepare for the SEA Games with their coaches and Singapore's legendary athletes represented by Ang Peng Siong, Jin Jun Hong and Melvin Tan.  100PLUS believes that greatness is not made only on game day, it manifests in these athletes the moment they show commitment, hard work and dedication to bring pride to the nation during their training prior to the games.

[F&N] Coco Life - 100% Coconut Water, Straight From the Nut

Need a drink to cool down from Singapore's tropical summer heat?
Try this
 Coconut Water from Coco Life. 
(F&N's latest offerings of delicious beverages)

While each coconut may contain about 200ml to 1000ml of coconut water depending on its cultivar type and size, it is a tough nut to crack! That is why I really appreciate Coco Life striking blue packaged coconut water which is so convenient to savour the goodness of coconut water on-the-go. 

Coconut is prized for its husk, flesh and water and is a staple to the South-east Asian nations. Coconut water is much loved for its sweet and savoury taste as well as the nutritional benefits it provides. Rich in naturally-occurring electrolytes, coconut water is a delicious hydrating agent that refreshes the body. Its high potassium content is also believed to help in managing blood pressure. It is also said to boost the immune system with its anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. These, coupled with its vitamins, amino acids and antioxidant compositions, are reasons why coconut water is often touted as nature's super drink.

Like I've mentioned earlier, Coco Life offers the convenience of drinking coconut water extracted straight from the nut with no artificial flavours, it contains no fat, no cholesterol and hydrates naturally. To top it all, Coco Life is certifies as a Healthier Choice food by the Health Promotion Board. The taste of this coconut water is not as sweet as compared to those small Thailand coconut. This in turn makes it a better thirst quencher. For me, it would be even better if the juice comes with pulp but overall, I love the taste and the packaging.

Coco Life is available in a handy 330ml pack for $1.50 at major supermarkets and $2.30 at convenience stores. Try it for yourself.

JAS JAS GROW GREATNESS DIARY DAY #1

The Grow Greatness Starter Kit which marks the start of a beautiful flowering plant. My mum thought its some tea bags when she received it. Haha. Thanks a lot for delivery them to us.

In my previous experience, beside trying to grow bean sprouts during school days for experiment, I've never try to grow other plants. So this is pretty cool and interesting. Love how the Grow Greatness Starter Kit contains all the necessary items needed, with the interesting information on how to grow the plant, etc. 

Jiffy pellet put in the carton with 50ml of water and it will expands to 50mm high. This is really amazing. 

The two different types of plant seeds. Hopefully, the flowers will bloom by Chinese New Year. Haha. Kind of anticipating and excited to see how it will grows to be. Stay tuned to my blog for the next Grow Greatness Diary! ^^

Let's welcome the Lunar New Year of the Goat and spread the festive cheer with this limited edition F&N Sparkling Drink Festive Pack! With such auspicious colour packaging and the happy message of ‘喜氣洋洋’ which means 'full of joy and jubilation', this box of F&N Sparkling Drinks is definitely a must-have to usher in the Lunar New Year. The limited edition F&N Sparkling Drinks Festive Pack (24 cans of assorted flavours) is available at a special price of S$12.20 at major supermarkets and hypermarkets. 

For us, there's a lot of traditional beliefs to be observed during the Chinese new Year to welcome good fortune, good luck and great family bonding. An example of such practice is to play around with the homophonic Chinese words that convey positive meanings. Many of the festive delicacies we ate share the same pronunciation of well-meaning wishes. Yu Sheng (鱼生) for example shares the same pronunciation as 余升, which means an increase in abundance.

F&N Outrageous Orange, in particular, is symbolic of all things auspicious and is a staple during Chinese New Year. The gesture of pouring (倒) is pronounced similar to arrival (到), indicating the act of wishing the recipients abundant wealth for the rest of the lunar calendar.The happy and cheery variants of F&N Sparkling Drinks is a familiar sight during the Chinese New Year celebrations. 

On the top right hand corner of the F&N Sparkling Drinks Festive Pack, you will also find a $2 off coupon that can be used when purchasing Home's Favourite cookies. To enjoy this promotion, simply present this original coupon when purchasing one tin of Home's Favourite cookies. Terms & conditions apply.

Personalized your Christmas Messages with F&N Fruit Tree Fresh Christmas Jingle Box

As the year gradually comes to a closure, I'm sure by now everyone is counting down and looking forward to Christmas. Same goes for me. Although my family don't celebrates Christmas, but it's hard not to get into the festive mood especially when you are surrounded by the Christmas lights and songs at the shopping malls and everywhere else. (Shall do a Christmas posts with all the Christmas photos I've taken soon when I have the time)

Gardens By The Bay : One of my favourite place to go to :)

Talking about Christmas, it also means lots of gifts exchange with friend to express how much we appreciate them in our life. Choosing gifts is a big headache for me. I can't possibly do a massive giveaway to all my readers whom I really appreciate for supporting my blog. Thus, the easier way to express my well wishes to all is through a heartfelt message sent along with a joyous Christmas jingle.

It's nice to receive a Christmas greeting but it's even more special when it's a personalized one. This Christmas, F&N Fruit Tree Fresh gives everyone a reason to celebrate with its F&N Fruit Tree Fresh Christmas Jingle Box mobile application which makes it all so simple to send a personalized message to your loved ones accompanied by a classical Christmas jingle or customize your own jingle - FOR FREE! 

Simply download the application via iTunes (http://goo.gl/WgBnke) or Google Play Store (http://goo.gl/JJ0HpY) and start crafting that heartfelt messages to your loved ones! Now I'll show how easy it's to create your personalized greeting with this application.

My heartfelt message to all.

Choose a song from this list of five classic Christmas tunes or unleash the musical genius in you by composing your own jingle. (Remember to allow the microphone to access this app)

If you've chosen one of the classic Christmas tunes, you would need to play the tunes by tapping on the glowing F&N Musical Buddies which are all the fruits and vegetables. Once the Christmas carol is played, the personalized message will be saved to your mobile phone as a video and you can send or share them via any instant messaging application like Whatsapp. It's so convenient. 

I choose to be more adventurous and choose the last option which is to customized my own jingle and I recorded myself singing "Last Christmas" by Crazy Frog! It turned out not bad, I guess my voice at 2 am plus is much more sexier. Usually, I'll sound very kiddish when I sing. Haha. Don't believe? Play the video below to hear me sing! 

It's able to record the whole song which is about 2 minutes and 52 seconds. Shall try to record other songs too. ^^ So happy for this great app that I can finally have my voice heard.

Ringing in the festive cheer this Christmas has never been this fun and easy with F&N Fruit Tree Fresh Christmas Jingle Box! Thank you so much.

Meadow Gold Indulgence Collection

Ice-Cream lovers can now look forward to 4 delectable new flavours that are added to the Meadow Gold Indulgence Collection. Go ahead and pamper yourself with these tubs of ice-creams as they are made with real dairy ingredients with quality inclusions like pecans and macadamia nuts. Make indulgence a part of your daily life as these are created especially for ice-cream lovers. I am one big ice-cream lover and I got the pleasure to try out the 4 new flavours, thanks to F&N Creameries! 

Meadow Gold Indulgence Collection

The four luxurious new flavours are Heavenly Macadamia, Delectable Caramel Pecan, Lush Red Velvel and Bold Chocolate Decadence. Each flavour is presented in a sleek 750ml tub emblazoned with the brand's stylish logo. 

Meadow Gold Heavenly Macadamia brings the classic vanilla dairy ice-cream to another level with the infusion of roasted macadamia nuts. This combination makes the ice-cream both smooth and crunchy. Not forgetting to mention that it's made from fresh milk cream. It's simply the taste of heaven!

Meadow Gold Delectable Caramel Pecan proves to be an irresistible dessert to those with a sweet tooh. With pecans and caramel ripple swirled in the luxurious vanilla dairy ice cream, it's silky sweet taste is to be enjoyed. 

Meadow Gold Lush Red Velvet is based on the recently highly popular dessert of the same name. Swathed in red velvety chocolate dairy ice cream with tantalising marshmallows, this promise to satisfy your desire for an all occassions dessert.

Meadow Gold Bold Chocolate Decadence is deliciously sinful with an overload of chocolate fudge and chunks in sensuous chocolate dairy ice-cream. Chocolate lovers like me will find this hard to resist. 

Love the additions of mini marshmallows that are mixed inside this red velvety chocolate ice cream. Other than the red velvety look, the ice cream actually taste like chocolate. However, it's not as strong as the Bold Chocolate Decadence. I'm sticking my tongue out to see if my tongue has turned red.

I tried the rest of the flavours at the same time by making them into a three scoop ice-cream cone. My favourite goes to the Meadow Gold Bold Chocolate Decadence! It's deliciously sinful.

  I'm much happier now as I have my daily cravings satisfied. You can have your cravings satisfied too as the Meadow Gold Ice Cream can be found at all leading supermarkets and convenience stores. Each 750ml tub is priced at S$9.90. So convenience and can eat for days! 

Enjoy the Goodness of F&N MAGNOLIA Omega-3 Lo-Fat Hi-Cal Milk

Milk is the epitome of healthy drinking. It is the primary source of nutrition for newborns before they are able to eat solid food. We all know that dairy products have always been an integral part of the food pyramid. In school, we were stressed on the importance of drinking milk to build strong bones and teeth. At home, I would also drink a glass of milk for breakfast or before I sleep as it is said that drinking a glass of milk at night can aids in sleeping well.  

Every 1-litre pack of F&N MAGNOLIA Omega-3 Lo-Fat Hi-Cal Milk is enriched with calcium and the goodness of Omega-3 DHA, an essential fatty acid strongly associated with brain and eye development, as well as the lowering of risk of coronary heart disease in adults. With a strong heart and an alert mind, you now have the power to achieve! 

Now, here's the good news! From November 2014 and while stocks last, every time you buy two 1-litre packs of F&N MAGNOLIA Fresh Milk, at all participating supermarkets, hypermarkets and retail outlets, you can redeem a stylish limited-edition tall glass.

What a great way to start my Monday drinking my favourite glass of milk in this stylish limited edition tall glass. I got the Monday one and it reminds me to recharge for the week ahead! Thank you!

Altogether, there's 7 designs out there and each design features an inspiring quote for each day of the week. 

It's a great reminder to our loved ones to include a tall glass of milk to their daily diet. Yes, my mum loves the F&N MAGNOLIA Omega-3 Lo-Fat Hi-Cal Chocolate Milk. Deliciously wholesome, its low-fat so you won't feel guilty drinking too much of it and had a smooth and creamy taste. 

While I, on the other hand, prefers the F&N MAGNOLIA Omega-3 Lo-Fat Hi-Cal Milk to goes with my morning Koko Krunch! Heehee! 

F&N MAGNOLIA Fresh Milk retails at all supermarkets, hypermarkets and participating retail outlets at $3.50 for a 1-litre pack. Visit www.magnolia.com.sg for more details on the full range of wholesome dairy goodness from F&N MAGNOLIA. Or join them in the conversation at www.facebook.com/MagnoliaSG

About The Inspired Chef

  

The Inspired Chef is an idea born out of Singapore which brought together locally renowned chefs to craft a product of their own creative inspiration. The chefs applied both their local local and international knowledge along with best-in-class culinary skills to create inspiring recipes for the local palate. The result is a selection of signature, handcrafted ice cream for consumers to indulge in premium ice-cream flavours that combine both local traditional taste with top international quality ingredients.   

Flavours available

These local culinary experts have formulated The Inspired Chef recipes that are reminiscent of the wonderful tastes they grew up with.  

The specially concocted flavours are

• Double Peanut Fudge by Chef Wilin Low of Wild Rocket
• Raspberry Cheesecake Rumble by Chef Pang Kok Keong of Antoinette
• Divine Chocolate Tart
• White Chocolate & Black Sesame
• Caramel Popcorn Avalanche by Chef Janice Wong of 2am: dessert bar (Only available for online order)
• Ms Strawberry Madeleine by Daniel Tay (Only available for online order)

Chef Willin Low of Wild Rocket formulated the Double Peanut Fudge flavour as he was inspired by his favourite childhood snack, gong tng or peanut brittle. With his culinary style that combines western cuisine with a local flavour, Double Peanut Fudge is a sumptuous peanut butter ice cream infused with bits size crunchy Asian peanut candy brittle and dark chocolate fudge. 

Press Invites: The Inspired Chef Retail Launch

Was glad to be invited to witness the first retail launch of The Inspired Chef range of premium ice cream at the new NTUC FairPrice Xtra, Kallang Wave Mall in the Singapore Sports Hub.

The VIPs of the day. From Left to Right: Adeline Lee, General Manager of F&N Creameries Singapore Ptd Ltd, Mr Seah Kian Peng, CEO of NTUC FairPrice Co-operative Limited, Chef Willin Low of Wild Rocket and Dato' Ng Jui Sia, CEO, Non-alcoholic beverages, Fraser and Neave Limited.

Group photo with Chef Willin Low, Valentine Low, myself and CF.

Not only did we get to take a lot of photos with the props, we also get to learn about the inspiration behind the chefs' creation and also try out the four flavours that are retailing.

My personal favourite pick is the unique taste of White Chocolate & Black Sesame ice-cream. I would never have thought that luscious white chocolate and savoury black sesame can goes so well together.

The treat of a scoop of this premium ice cream was made more scrumptious with the toppings available for us to add on ourselves.

Chocolate lovers will love the Divine Chocolate Tart. Concocted in collaboration with Bakerzin. Divine Chocolate Tart impresses with a rich blend of fine chocolate ice-cream, topped with butter crumble and a dash of sea salt. It taste a bit like dark chocolate and not too sweet.

At one station, I smell the cooking of French Toast, and yes, this special topping of the pipping hot French toast and Phyllo pastry goes super well with Chef Pang's Raspberry Cheesecake Rumble! Although Raspberry cheesecake is a rather classic flavour and taste rather sweet, once pair up with the French Toast, it became another inspirational dessert to be served. 

Retail Price

The Inspired Chef ice cream will retail at S$14.90 a pint (473ml).
