A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
I am a sucker for healthy bread — bread with multi-grain, multi-seed, multi-nuts and flour-free bread. My girls are a sucker for Gardenia white bread. They can eat it 3x a day with no complaints (eat it on its own some more!), albeit I think Alycia the rice-addict will be craving for rice for dinner….
Dutch Lady recently launched a new product in the market – Dutch Lady Kid and Dutch Lady School, which comes in convenient packets for kids on the go. They come in 3 variants of Full Cream, Strawberry and Chocolate. Baby and Sherilyn love the chocolate variant while Alycia is a bore when it comes to…
After lunch at Canton-I at The Gardens @ Mid Valley, we went into Hoi Ting Tong to try their herbal jelly. Hoi Ting Tong has outlets in Dataran Mentari Sunway, Damansara Jaya, Kota Damansara, Kuchai Lama and the outlet at Gardens is their latest outlet in Malaysia. Hoi Tin Tong originated from Hong Kong. The…
My mil brought home a small jar of truffle butter from Hong Kong recently. I have never eaten truffle butter or heard of the name before. Yes, I have heard of truffles as in chocolate or cake but not truffle butter. I’ll bet you have not heard of truffle butter too. It is very expensive…
There is now a booth at Mid Valley Megamall, just outside Jusco that sells organic health food from Bio Green. And I got these organic biscuits for my girls: Crackers made from soy bean milk and everything organic: This puffed biscuit is really tasty. The ingredients are organic brown rice, quick oat, pearl barley, buckwheat,…
Check out this unique dessert from the Sweet Hut: It’s the first time I see such a uniquely created healthy dessert. The base like a boat is half a papaya. The white creamy stuff is steamed egg white and the jelly like cubes are aloe vera. This dessert is served warm. How do I like…
I got a pack of Magnolia Yoghurt Petite Low Fat Ice Cream With Yoghurt to try from a nearby super mart and I must say that they are really tasty — not too sweet and I think it is a healthier alternative to regular ice-creams. They are made from real strawberry juice, strawberry puree and…
My hubs bought a loaf of charcoal bamboo swiss roll cake from our favorite bakery the other day. It didn’t really look appealing because of the blackish/grayish color of the cake but it tasted good! Some ingredients used made the texture of the cake a little ‘crunchy’. The cream you see in the middle is…
I bought this pack of Super organic instant soy milk powder from Sri Kota the other day. These day, Baby drinks more soy milk than cow’s milk. She also prefers soy milk to cow’s milk. I wonder which has more nutrients and ‘safer’ to drink. Looking at the food label, it looks like formulated milk…
I had asked the hubs to get me a pack of Kraft’s singles cheese the other day but my man who always has doubts about processed cheese (and would always shake his head each time I buy them) got me a pack of Emborg Edam in slices cheese instead (made in Germany). I have no…
