Ramadhan Special 2014: SunMoon Fruit Cups

Have you guys every heard of SunMoon?
I'm sure you've seen their products at supermarkets like NTUC FairPrice and Sheng Siong right...
Well if you haven't, we're pretty sure you're gonna look for it after this!

So what exactly are SunMoon Fruit Cups?

Mandarin Orange Fruit Cups

Mixed Fruit Cups

Peach Fruit Cups

The premise is something very simple but something very beneficial.
It's fresh fruits and they are packed in these handy convenience little cups with 100% Apple Juice.
This is a healthy and natural treat to suit everyone in any age group!!

They have 3 types of Fruit Cups to choose from - Mandarin Oranges, Seasonal Mixed Fruits and Peaches! Who knows... maybe they might come up with more in the future!

So you're probably saying "Show me the box for what? What do the Fruit Cups look like leh?"
Well, your wish is our command :)

So like we've mentioned- the fresh fruits are packed in 100% Apple Juice.
That means you can whack all the fruits first and then drink the Apple Juice. Healthy or what!!

Anyways you're supposed to have 2 servings of fruits right? Well, this is your chance.

And this also make a great snack on the go or maybe a light filler-up before/after a workout!

Mandarin Oranges

Now you tell me that those Fruit Cups don't look appetizing and refreshing?
Making me hungry just looking at them!!

These Fruit Cups retail for about $1.90 per pack (of 2 cups) when you get them at the supermarket.
That's a really great price if you think about it.

Can use in Fruit Salads. Decorate your Fruit Tartlets. Mix into a milkshake. Wah so many ideas!
Can buy a few and keep in the fridge for later. And great for kids too!

The Fruit Cups are not the only product available from SunMoon in case you were wondering...
They also have these handy and tasty Fruit Crisps too! You can't get these in the supermarket yet but I have seen them in these vending machines in town and also on some of the no-frills airlines like Scoot and Tiger!

Super Combo Fruit Crisps

Fuji Apple Fruit Crisps

The Fruit Crisps use all-natural fruits which are freeze-dried to lock in their goodness.
This also means you can enjoy these on-the-go or anytime you need a quick pick me up.

The Fuji Apple one is straightforward. The Super Combo pack consists of Fuji Apple, Mango, Banana and Strawberries. They also have a Tropical pack (Mango and Pineapple) and an Exotic Fruits pack (Strawberry and Banana) by the way.

However, unlike the Fruit Cups, you can't get these in the supermarkets for now...
You can purchase the Fruit Crisps, Fruit Crisps and pretty much all their products via their website at
http://www.sunmoondirect.com or even at their stores located at Raffles Place, Beach Road, Tanjong Pagar, Telok Ayer Street and Anson Road.

This is a great idea especially during the fasting month actually. You can have this for Sahur. You can have this during Iftar. You can even eat it as a quick snack when you're out for Jalan Raya later on!

This is definitely a great product with plenty of uses for plenty of scenarios.
Get yours today from NTUC FairPrice, Sheng Siong or order via their website today!
(Here's a tip - buy 2 and get 1 free when you buy it online at www.sunmoondirect.com, at NTUC Fairprice and Sheng Siong! All the way til end of August!!)

Prima Deli: Mother's Day Special 2014

Advertorial

Abundant Love (back) & Pink of Roses (front)

PrimaDeli is back again with some great cakes to celebrate with someone who definitely deserves some cake and so much more - MOTHERS!!

That's right! Mother's day is back again (11th May 2014 for those who were wondering) and mums definitely deserve to sit back and relax. The least we can do to reward them is spend some time with them and celebrate with some cake!

If you remember, we celebrated Mother's Day last year with PrimaDeli (read HERE)
PrimaDeli offers us 2 fine cake creations this year to satisfy varying tastes. One to satisfy any chocolate lover and one for those who prefer something a little bit more light on the palate but no less decadent.
 

Pink Of Roses ($26.00)

The Pink Of Roses cakes is a definite choice for mums who LOVE CHOCOLATE!!
It looks pink on the outside but underneath the fresh cream roses, you'll find a luscious chocolate sponge cake covered with a rich chocolate ganache.

Mouth watering yet? (Cos mine is!)
Cake weighs approximately 600g by the way.

Abundance of Love ($48.40)

The one got to personally try is called Abundance of Love and I think you can see why!
This cake is packo full of goodies and a little of bit of something for everyone to enjoy!
Let me give you a better view...

Whoa! Take a look at that!

Peach slices, Strawberries, Kiwi, Gooseberries and white chocolate flowers on top!
The sides of the cakes are lined with white chocolate 'wooden planks' so it looks like you're delivering a box of flowers and fruits to mum! Creative or what!

The cake itself is a moist Vanilla sponge with Salted Caramel Cream, almond flakes and chocolate pearls to give it a little bit more bite. This one weighs about 1.2kg.

I quite actually enjoyed the cake. I guess it's a break from the usual chocolate cakes we normally have so it's nice to have a bit of variety. Lots of new and unique cakes out there nowadays and this is definitely one of them!

Both Pink of Roses and Abundance of Love cakes will be available from 17th April (NOW) til 11th May 2014 (Mother's Day itself) so plenty of time but don't wait til the last minute! Sekali sold out how!!

Anyways you need to place your order at least 3 days in advance so be sure to order by 8th May latest to avoid disappointment. You can visit your nearest PrimaDeli or call 6276-3333 to place your orders. More information can be found at www.primadeli.com

KL Sedap Part 5: Shimino Japanese Crepes

 

So at the top level of Pavilion shopping mall, there's a small section they call Tokyo Street.
You can find all kinds of Japanese-inspired shops there like fashion, accessories and even food.
There's even a shop that specializes in selling traditional Japanese tea including all the pots and utensils.

It's actually pretty nice to talk a walk around

One of those shops selling makan is this place called Shimino Japanese Crepes.
Japanese and Crepes are not 2 words I normally put together...
So how different is a Japanese Crepe from a Non-Japanese Crepe? Well let's find out...

And to help us find out we have our fellow guest reviewers;

Azim & Razali

 As you can tell, they've got smiles on their faces so the crepes must nice right?

Fresh Mango & Honey Crepe (RM8.90)

Fresh Strawberry & Chocolate Sauce Crepe (RM8.90)

So the first thing you notice is that the crepes are made into a cone shape which makes it easy to eat on the go. Try to think of it as like you're having an ice-cream or something.

The crepes itself are made to order which means you get it fresh. I guess they kinda have to make it fresh because the crepes would definitely be sucky if they we made then left to sit waiting for orders.

Whatever filling you choose, you can actually mix and match what else goes in the crepe.
Fro example, ours was actually a Fresh Strawberry and Honey crepe but we opted for the Chocolate Sauce instead and they top it off with toppings like almond flakes, peanuts, rainbow sprinkles etc.
But the one thing that you should leave alone is the fresh cream that is packed with the filling.

I actually thought it was going to be just whipped cream out of the can or something but it really was a nice surprise that it was FRESH cream! And they're not stingy with the filling as you can see. Packed full of sweet strawberries!

And they actually have wide varieties of crepes to choose from.
Classics like Banana Chocolate, Peaches, Kiwi and Pineapple and all ready for you to eat.
They also have more interesting flavours like Mandarin Orange and Coffee Jelly!

And in case you feel like having some savoury crepes instead, they have flavours like Roast Beef, Chicken Teriyaki, Roast Duck and Seafood Mayo.

Adam's Verdict:
Fresh Strawberry & Chocolate Sauce Crepe 4/5

Maryah's Verdict:
Fresh Strawberry & Chocolate Sauce Crepe 3.5/5

Razali's Verdict:
Fresh Mango & Honey Crepe 3.5/5

Azim's Verdict:
Fresh Mango & Honey Crepe 3.5/5

Well I'm not sure if it's different from any other crepe I've had but it's still a good dessert nonetheless.
Just try to maintain when you eat... Like Azim.

Prima Deli: Mother's Day Special

Advertorial

Happy Mother's Day!!!

For those of you who had any doubts, please kindly allow me to confirm it for you.
Mother's Day falls on the 2nd Sunday of May every year. This year, it falls on 12th May 2013.
OMG that's only one week away!

Well fret not there is still time for you to go and get your Mum something nice.
And for those of you who might be having problems coming up with some ideas, we have just the thing!

This Mother's Day, Prima Deli would like to celebrate with you by offering some sweet treats!
They are offering 3 different varieties of cakes specially prepared for Mother's Day!

We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to try one of the cakes being offered for this special offer.

Yummy Yam Cake

So one of the choices is the Yummy Yam Cake.

It's vanilla sponge with fresh yam and sago filling and all covered in vanilla fresh cream.
Those letters and hearts/stars you see on the cake are - Pink Chocolate!

When I first saw the word "Yam" and "Cake", my first thought was " Whoa! Seriously?!" and I'm guessing that some of you are probably having the same reaction right now. Well, fret not.
The yam and sago cream filling was absolutely fine. You can tell it's Yam but it is not overpowering at all.
The sponge cake was so fluffy and light that even my Mum enjoyed it! (And she's not really a cake-eater)

Anyways, for those of you who are not fans of Yam, Prima Deli is also offering Black Forest and Mixed Fruit variations of their special Mother's Day cakes so your dearest Mum is going to be spoiled for choice!
And the best part is - Prima Deli is 100% Halal-certified!!

It's $39.80 for a 1kg cake if it's Black Forest or Mixed Fruit and it's $22.80 for a 540gm Yummy Yam Cake. For the quality you're getting, that's a great deal!
Plus!You also get 2 bottles of Brands Bird's Nest absolutely free! Great deal!

These special cakes are available from 26 April til Mother's Day (12 May) so get cracking!
But one important thing to note is that you need to order at least 3 days in advance. That means that the last order they can take will be 10 May which is 3 days before Mother's Day.

So give your sweet Mum a sweet treat this Mother's Day!

Call Prima Deli at 6276 3333 or pop by any of their outlets if you have any enquiries.
