Secret Ingredient - The Working Women Saviour

I love cooking, very much, but I seldom cook because it takes too much time buying the ingredients, carrying the goodies back home, marinating the meats, washing the veggies and do all the chopping and slicing etc etc etc. The process can go on and on, it get worse if you are planning for desserts as well. You do not really have time to do all those especially if you have to work, sometimes you just want someone to do all the prep work for you. And today, I am going to introduce that someone to you, she is Secret Ingredient.

Gu Fah Bakery - Indigenous Delights

Price: $

Cravingness: ★★☆☆☆

When we are looking for Phoenix Rolls, we would usually think of big commercial brands like Kee Wah Bakery in Hong Kong or Macau brands like Choi Heong Yuen or Koi Kei. Despite some local petite shops at places like Lee Yuen Moon, there is also another local brand called Gu Fah Bakery. Gu Fah bakery offers a great range of Chinese Bakery that are made in Hong Kong which are perfect for gifts or as souvenir to family and friends.

Openrice Event - Fruity Moon Cake Tasting

As some of you might notice I stopped blogging for a while and picked back up in March this year. Since I have not been active in blogging for the past two years, I was actually surprised but elated to be invited to Openrice's Moon cake tasting event. Two years ago around the same time, I had the same invitation from Openrice for a mooncake tasting on some fun twisting flavoured mooncakes .(If you are interested, here is the link for the previous post -> Openrice Mooncakes Tasting Event | 新口味試食報告) This year, we are going to savour several fruity mooncakes offered by different brands.

This year the tasting was more interesting as we were put into test to guess what the fruit components of the mooncake are. It was not a crazy challenge, we almost guessed all the moon cakes right. The tasting was hosted at Teavers, a cafe specialised in tea making at Shau Kei Wan. Teavers arranged some tea pairing for the mooncakes, which was great to kill the mooncake's oiliness.

Punch Detox - My Very First Juice Detox Programme

I have never tried any detox programme in my life, I was originally quite skeptical about the real effects of these detox programme. Recently I have seen many of my friends started some juice detoxing and got me interested. Being a foodie myself, eating out and snacking alot had made me put up quite a lot of weight in the past year, not to mention many are unhealthy food! My friend introduced me Punch Detox and said she felt much more energised and lost a bit of weight with Punch Detox. Telling me how amazing she felt urges me to determine to start my own little detox try out as well.

Stephen James Organic Pili Nuts

My first encounter with Stephen James Organics' Pili Nuts was at Giando's tasting brunch and I fell in love with it immediately. I never had nuts with the same texture as Pili nuts. What is most special about Pili nuts I reckon is how each and every one tastes slightly different. It gave me some surprises and joy when I am having them. Special thanks to Stephen James Organics  for sending me these lovely nuts to sample! :)
