Merry Christmas with ALfero Gelato

What's a festive feast without some sweets. This year, Alfero Gelato is introducing 2 New flavours for you to enjoy! Nope, they are not Chocolatey flavours so you need not worry about them. Enjoy them with less guilt (if any). HAHA.

Fun Fact: What's the difference between Alfero Gelato and normal Ice Cream?

The first flavour is Mango Yoghurt. Beautiful shade of pastel yellow and bits of mango fruit in it. I love how the gelato is not too heavy/gelat, and it's in my favourite colour!

Then we have the Strawberry Cream Fraiche. What is Fraiche? It is a soured cream containing 10-45% Butterfat. This beautiful creation here tastes really devine, a little like the raspberry ripple we used to have when we were young. Ohhhh the memories.. Definitely recommend you to try them out!

These 2 new fruity flavours can be found at Alfero Gelato's branch at 81 Macpherson lane #01-37 from 1st December onwards! Quick get your hands on these healthier flavours to end your christmas or New Year's party on a sweet note!

Here's wishing everyone a Merry Christmas & a Huat Huat New Year!

Healthy Snacking with Granola and Quiona from Garden Picks!

I love to snack, I would snack 24 hours a day if I could. Haha! I bet you know that snacking can be healthy too! By snacking on the right food, it keeps your body healthier and also maintains your weight even though you are eating more things! Awesome! haha.

Recently I got some wholesome snacks from Garden Picks and I'm adding them to my snack diet now! Check them out!

I got to try out the following five(left to right): 

Black Chia Seeds, Superfood Granola (with chia seed), Superfood Granola (with quinoa),  Black Forest Granola and Organic tri-colour quinoa. 

Look at the Superfood Granola with Chia Seed or the one with Quinoa. They are packed with the different nuts for a well balanced healthy snack which you can indulge without the guilt. You can enjoy them on its own or another idea would be for you to add them to your plain yogurt for a delicious & healthy breakfast!

FUN FACT: Quinoa is pronounced as "KEEN-WA" instead of "QWEE NO AH".

With all those delicious cafe food that attracts me daily, I believe that I should indulge in healthier snack so that we can balance off the guilt! Haha.

Cheers to healthier snacking with Garden Picks!

Check out what else they have to offer on their website!

Kollo mee is a popular noodle dish among people in Sarawak, just like how we love our wanton mee and bak chor mee noodle dish. Besides char siew (barbecued pork) and vegetables, kollo mee is also served with minced meat in Sarawak.
Win Win Food Singapore recently introduced its new product - Brumee Kollo Mee, the non-fried instant noodles - as the team is aware that people are getting more health conscious these days. Even if they have to eat instant noodles, they pick the healthier choice.

Brumee Kollo Mee is NON-FRIED, contains NO MSG, NO COLOURING. It’s a breeze to cook this. Quick, fuss-free, springy and delicious. You may even go a little more creative and add your own toppings of seafood or even vegan/vegetarian instead of the usual char siew and minced meat. 

I liked the noodles because they are flat, and if you cook according to the packaging instructions, you will get really springy noodles but due to the fact that the noodles are not fried, they tend to stick together a little, but its alright, it doesn't affect the taste! Highly Recommend for a healthier choice for supper! :P

Brumee Kollo Mee is available at NTUC Supermarkets at an introductory price of $3.20 for 5 packs of 100g.

I love my maggie noodles but need to keep those intakes in control! :D
