Nutrio Food Launches The Frutzee Family Snacks

My son is a picky eater and he only eats food he likes. He doesn't eat fruits, vegetables, meat or seafood. He only likes to eat cereal, bread, plain rice and noodles. As a mom, I worry whether he gets enough nutrition. Mr. Derek, Frutzee's Managing Director also had 3 children who were picky eaters. With his 10 years background in the food business and immense commitment in providing the best for his family, he and his partner, Mr. Eddie Ooi came up with this new concept of healthy, tasty fruit snacks without preservatives, coloring and taste enhancers. This is the first healthy food snack series to be out in the market.

 The Frutzee snacks are available in 4 different flavors - Apple, Banana, Grapes and Strawberries, These snacks are for children 12 months old and above. These snacks are made from real fruit freeze-dried immediately after picking to maintain all the natural goodness and nutritional benefits of the fresh fruits. In every box, there are 4 small packets, very convenient for moms to bring out for their children. Each box is RM 18.00. 

Clockwise from top left: Strawberry, Banana, Grapes, Apple.

There is no added sugar except for strawberry flavor where there is 1% sugar because strawberries are usually sour.

Mr. Eddie Ooi explained that Nutrio Food uses a patented and proven cutting-edge technology where fruits are washed and placed in a vacuum chamber to be cooled to -30 degrees Celcius. The natural freshness and taste are retained. Air is pumped out in the vacuum process, changing the frozen water crystals into gas leaving the fruits dehydrated. The nutritional benefits are preserved for over 1 year through this process, giving the fruits it's crispiness. After opening the packet, the snacks become softer and less crispy after about 10 minutes as moisture from the air gets into the snacks.

Frutzee is now available for online purchase at www.frutzee.my and www.motherhood.com.my. You can also purchase Frutzee at the following store locations http://frutzee.my/stores/. For more information about Frutzee, please visit their Facebook https://www.facebook.com/NutrioMalaysia/.

Pensonic's Chef's Like “Raya-Merdeka Cook With Chef” Season 3

I was really excited when I won the Pensonic 'Win a Hot Celebrity Partner' contest recently. The most exciting part is that I can cook with beautiful Amber Chia as my cooking partner!

This Pensonic cooking class had around 500 people cooking together at West Boulevard, One City, Subang. I arrived there at 8:30am. Chef Dato' Ismail Ahmad was there to teach us to cook 'Ayam Masak Merah'. He was very humorous and joked a lot. Everyone there enjoyed cooking the fun and easy way. 

I was delighted to be able to take photos with celebrities at this cooking class. Amber Chia was very friendly and sociable. It was indeed a memorable event.

Our 'Ayam Masak Merah' was really tender and delicious. It was easy to cook as all the ingredients were prepared for us. We just needed to put them in the Pensonic Multi Cooker and cook. After the event, I took the Pensonic Multi Cooker home. Yeah! That was part of my prize for winning the contest. There were other lucky draw prizes on that day too.

Our delicious 'Ayam Masak Merah'. My daughter said it was one of the best dishes she has ever tasted. We finished all of it for lunch that day. 

This was one of the best events I have attended so far. Hopefully next year I can attend it as a blogger because I really enjoyed it very much.  Thanks to Pensonic. For more information about Pensonic, please visit their Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pensonicmalaysia.

Congkak Competition at The Parenthood, Sunway Putra Mall

I brought my 2 kids to join this 'kampung style' Congkak competition at The Parenthood, Sunway Putra Mall. The Parenthood is on 2nd floor and it is a place for parents to buy babies and children things and enjoy fun activities with their kids. There is My Kingdom Playground where kids can enjoy the slides, trampoline or watch movies.

It was my children's first time playing Congkak. They were really excited and had fun learning how to play. The game rules was easy to understand. This was played alone instead of two people. This Congkak competition was organized by SPM Games.

 Learning how to play.

Congratulations to the winners! 

My children played here for many hours before they finally agreed to go home. 

It was a fun day out with my kids. I love the bonding moments and seeing them so happy. To read more about The Parenthood, you can visit my earlier blog HERE. 

Scott's DHA Gummies - Bright Little Explorers

What taste great and is filled with lots of DHA goodness? The answer is Scott's DHA gummies which comes in 2 flavours, orange and strawberry.

When I was a little girl, my mom used to give me a spoonful of Scott's Emulsion Cod Liver Oil which contain DHA. I grew up to be healthy and strong. Now I would like to give my children yummy Scott's gummies without the fishy taste and smell. DHA, a type of Omega-3 fatty acid is an important building block for our brains and eyes. Our bodies need it for the proper development and functioning of our central nervous system and eyesight. Scott's DHA gummies also contain vitamin D for healthy growth.

At the launch, Stacy Wallace, General Manager of GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Malaysia & Brunei said, "The new Scott's DHA Gummies ascertains a mother's effort in providing a tasty and enjoyable way to help children meet their daily intake of DHA."

Dr. Ali Azman Minhaj is a paediatrician with a board certification from the Royal College of Physicians, United Kingdom since 1976. He has contributed his expertise in this field with his knowledge and experience in managing cases relating to childhood and neonatal treatments. Dr. Ali provided an in-depth sharing on the pivotal role of DHA in children's overall development.

Azura Zainal

In conjuction with the unveiling of Scott's DHA Gummies, Scott's also launched its 'Bright Little Explorers' campaign, in a bid to raise awareness on the importance of DHA in supporting children's brain development as well as helping nurture curiosity and adventurous minds.

Scott's has launched a content in an augmented reality app called 'Blippar' for parents to gain easy insights on DHA as well as engage in fun activities such as puzzles and virtual photo booths. The app can be downloaded via Google Play Store (for Android users) and Apple App Store (for iOS users)
