[Post-National Day Holiday] The Coconut Club and Bober Seasonal Drinks + Giveaway

As National Day falls on a Sunday which is a rest day, the next day being a Monday became a post National Day Holiday! It was a last minute decision to meet up with the RKM couple at The Coconut Club for lunch. In fact, even until noon time, we were still asking one another whether is the meet up confirmed while still preparing at home.

We headed out swiftly as we were quite hungry and luckily we managed to find a parking lot nearby as we spotted the long queue forming outside The Coconut Club. The crayola blue of Ann Siang House and the chandelier brings a very royal feeling to the whole place where The Coconut Club was located at.

We joined the queue and waited for our turn. While we were outside, I took a peek inside the restaurant and saw how lovely the whole place is. I could also smell the fragrance of the coconut rice! Can't wait to enter the restaurant as we were starving and feeling hot outside. 

   Finally, it's our turn, my family ordered the Chicken Leg Nasi Lemak Set, Kosong Set, and a complimentary kids set (for kids 5 years old and below), Sambal Kang Kong, Chendol and a glass of Bandung. We asked for the chendol to be served first to fill up our empty stomach. Their chendol was simple, nice and sweet with lots of red beans. That explains the positive reviews online. Hubby loves the Sambal Kang Kong and said that it was not too spicy, just nice for his liking.

It took quite a while for the nasi lemak to be served, probably have to cook the rice again. Good thing that we went with friends so we got to chat and catch up while waiting. The nasi lemak rice was served hot and fluffy with the nice aroma of the coconut milk, I love the sambal chili too. For $15+ it was really an atas plate of nasi lemak, I guess it comes with the nice ambiance afterall. The difference between the kosong nasi lemak and the kids meal is just an egg.

After our hearty lunch, I told hubby that I wanted to try the Bober Seasonal drinks which they launched just for National Day and they were having a 1-for-1 promotion. The nearest outlet was at Bendemeer and so we drove over there. 

It's not hard to spot the Bober Tea shop even though this was my first time there. Look at that gigantic bober tea outside the shop, how could anyone missed it? The seasonal drinks on the 1-for-1 promotion were for Butterscotch Milk Tea and Caramel Popcorn Milk Tea. I super love the Caramel Popcorn Milk Tea but as we didn't finish the popcorn in time, they all turned soggy when mixed into the milk tea.

 

Ending this post with a collaboration with Bober tea on an Instagram giveaway I'm currently running till 28 August 2020. Check it out here and join for a chance to win 2 cups of Bober tea of your choice. Two winners will be selected. Good Luck!

[FOOD + GIVEAWAY] NeNe Chicken Singapore Launches Double Freaking Hot Sauce

To all spicy food lovers out there, check out the SPICIEST Korean Sauce from NeNe Chicken Singapore! Known as DOUBLE FREAKING HOT SAUCE, this is definitely double the spiciness level compared to the all-time favourite, Freaking Hot Sauce.

Exclusively created for NeNe Chicken Singapore from NeNe Chicken Headquarters in Korea to challenge Singaporeans and see how far we can take our spicy level. If you think the famous Korean Chicken Fire Noodles is spicy enough, this is said to be spicier!

The Hot Bling Sauce is the alternative choice for those who dare not try the Double Freaking Hot Sauce but still want to get that spicy kick.

I considered myself to have a high tolerance for spicy food but this time round I really got defeated by the double freaking hot sauce! This is me after eating just one piece of that chicken. I'm already reaching out for the cold drinks and I can feel my sweat and tear dripping down.

Thank goodness for their pickled radish and corn salad that immediately relieve the spiciness in my mouth.

This is Rena after her first taste of just one drop of the Hot Bling spicy sauce, fed to her by her crazy father. After that, she just scream and shout until I am unable to pacify her and have to carry her out of the restaurant. 

Still nursing her pain with the cold drinks.

[EVENT + GIVEAWAY] Launch of World-First Prebiotic Honey - Beeotic by Capilano

The well-known and popular Australia-based FMCG business, Capilano Honey is bringing their range of honey products to the next level by launching the World's first clinically-tested* honey that contains naturally occurring prebiotics, Beeotic®. *(Based on published clinical study results as at 19 August 2016.)

A little background information on Capilano by the Export Manager, Merv Kickbush. Capilano Honey was established as a cooperative in 1953 to support Australian beekeepers by Brisbane brothers Tim and Bert Smith. Today, Capilano is proud to continue supplying delicious and 100% pure Australian honey from their network of more than 600 beekeeping families. 

Capilano Managing Director, Dr Ben McKee, a 5th generation beekeeper said that the launch of Beeotic® allowed Capilano to reach out to more health-conscious consumers around the world. This world-first health and wellness innovation of honey that is identified to deliver the prebiotic content gives consumers the option to improve their overall digestive health while enjoying their favourite honey at the same time. 

Professor Patricia Conway further explained the benefits of prebiotic as well as the difference between probiotic and prebiotic to us. The difference between probiotic and prebiotic is that probiotic are live bacteria and must be kept alive to be beneficial but they can be easily killed by heat, stomach acid or die with time. Prebiotic, however are natural, non-digestible fibres that can nourish the good and suppress the bad bacteria. "Honey has been used to help normalise digestive balance for many years. The focus of the clinical study was to scientifically validate the specifications of a prebiotic honey to deliver consumers certainty around its potential health and wellness benefits," Professor Conway said.

Do you know that there is 10 times more bacteria in our intestine than our body cells! That sure is shocking to know!

Here are some of the benefits of Beeotic®

- Consuming Beeotic® that contains prebiotics help the good bacteria in the gut to grow, thus improving the good-to-bad bacteria ratio and improves in our digestive system.

- Beeotic® is 100% pure Australian honey. It does not contains additives, preservatives, artificial colours and flavours.

- Usually food that are good for our health tastes bad but for this honey, I don't think anyone would dislike the sweet taste of this.

- Beeotic® is halal-certified and is recommended for children 12 months and above.

Based on the results of the clinical study, it is found that the recommended intake of Beeotic® is 14ml, which is approximately one tablespoon per day. One can choose to consume Beeotic® pure, mix it in your beverages or even used in as a dipping sauce.

The delicious refreshments that we had which all had some of the Beeotic® honey mixed in.

We are very lucky that Singapore is the first Southeast Asia country to have Beeotic® available to us as it is distributed by DKSH Singapore. Beeotic® is now available in all leading supermarkets (NTUC, Giant and Cold Storage) in Singapore in two BPA-free PET variants: 340g squeeze bottle at $16.80 and 500g jar at $22.00.
