Simple Recipe with Ayam Brand products

Since I was a little girl, my mom cooked Ayam Brand sardin, Ayam Brand tuna, Ayam Brand baked beans and lots more using Ayam Brand products. I grew up eating these because it's nutritious and easy to cook. If you are lazy, you can actually just open a can and eat it with bread or rice. Ayam Brand is celebrating their 125th anniversary this year. That's a long time Ayam Brand has been around in the market.


I have created a simple recipe using Ayam Brand Sardines in Olive Oil & Chilli with ladies fingers.


Ingredients

10 ladies fingers

1 tbs of anchovies
1 chilli padi
1 tsp of oyster sauce

Method

Cut the ladies fingers into small slices.

Put oil into the pan and stir fry the anchovies until golden brown.
Add in the ladies fingers and cook until soft.
Add in the oyster sauce and stir it.
Open a can of Ayam Brand Sardines in Olive Oil & Chilli and add it to the ladies finger dish.


The sardines taste delicious with the ladies fingers and my daughter loves this simple and easy to cook dish. It's healthy and nutritious too. Sometimes I cook this for her lunch before she goes to school.

If you love cartoon and fairy tale characters, you will love the “Storyland: Cosplay Meet & Greet” at Level 2. You will be able to see the cosplay of the Asian version of Snow White, Beauty & The Beast, Sailor Moon, Joker, Naruto and many more. They did some great dance moves at Sky Avenue.







The best part is taking nice and memorable photos with your favorite cosplay characters.

Kids Public Speaking by Johan Speaking Academy

Most people will get butterflies in their tummies if they know they need to do public speaking in front of a large crowd. It is not easy even for adults and public speaking is very important in our life. Can you imagine how these young kids aged 7-12 years old told stories at Evolve Concept Mall last week?







These kids, a total of 135 kids have gone through 10 weeks of Kids Public Speaking Program organized by Johan Speaking Academy which gave them real experience speaking on stage in front of many people. They went to Little Kingdom in April for their brand ambassador program and now their graduation finale at Evolve Concept Mall. These kids are so brave and confident when speaking in public.

The next intake for the 10 weeks Kids Public Speaking Program will be in Sept 2017. This is for kids aged 7-12 years old and will be conducted in English and Mandarin sessions. These days, our school system focuses a lot on academic results but not on public speaking. Johan Ooi and Cherry Ho believe that soft skills like public speaking which gives kids confidence is essential and very important in the working world. The ability to bring your message across to others and share your story in a clear and confident manner will help inspire and impact the world. The ability to speak well is a lifelong skill which you need to use throughout your career and life. 

Founder Johan Ooi & Cherry Ho has coached and taught more than 1000 kids to speak on stage since 2014. Johan is the 2015 Peninsular Malaysia Public Speaking Champion. He represented Malaysia and competed in the 2015 World Championship of Public Speaking held at Las Vegas. He finished as the semi-finalist competing with the best in the world. 

Below are photos of the kids' graduation.

This was the 1st time I tried the food at Almendi's. The meal I tried is more suitable for folks who love spicy food because the sauce is spicy. The chicken meat was tender and delicious.The restaurant ambience is cozy and the decoration is quite nice.





Sepiring was our next stop. They offer Laksa or Nasi Kunyit with Curry Chicken for the promotional RM 7.90 meal. I liked the curry chicken because the curry was very tasty and the Nasi Kunyit was soft.
