[media tour] Speciality & Fine Food Asia and Restaurant, Pub & Bar Asia2019

Southeast Asia's leading trade show for fine food and drink - Speciality & Fine Food Asia (SFFA) and Restaurant, Pub & Bar Asia (RPB Asia) returned for the third edition this year at Suntec Singapore.
The shows brought together global exhibitors, leading chefs, hospitality industry experts to Singapore for a series of exciting demo sessions and panel discussions. The SG Food Tech Week was introduced this year too!


It was all thanks to ChewyJas, who helped me to secure a slot in order to attend the exclusive media tour of the event. Through the media tour, we were introduced to the show's most exciting line-up of artisanal gourmet and drink producers from all around the world.



We visited 'Ivy House' from Taichung, and we tried out some signature Taiwanese snacks too. Taichung is located in central Taiwan, and is Taiwan's second largest city. In Taichung, you can find many popular pastries, cookies and even tea leaves, as Taichung has a rich and historic dietary culture. 



I enjoyed the Pure Milk Shortbread from Babuu House which tasted like a crispy waffle. Only fresh milk was used in the making process, and there was no milk powder, no fragrance, no coloring, and there were no preservatives either. There were several variants to choose from.


OLU Tropical Water gets its natural mineral water from a source originating 4300 feet above sea level, from the Cloud Forests of Sri Lanka. The water is supposed to level up our lifestyle standards and values in order to support health and wellness.






Co-sharing of work-space is now becoming more and more popular in Singapore. It is pretty common now! However, have you ever heard about co-working kitchens? If you are unsure, let me introduce 'IncuBaker', Singapore's first licensed Co-Working Kitchen. One of the products that were hand-crafted at IncuBaker was HOGULA. 


HOGULA is an artisan Asian-inspired brittle made with the finest palm sugar and high-quality nuts that were roasted to perfection. HOGULA is a healthier alternative as they do not contain any additives or preservatives.


The booth that we spent the longest time during the tour was at the Export Promotion Agency of the Republic of Uzbekistan, as the friendly representative introduced many of their products to us. We tried out their fresh and preserved fruits and nuts, which we found quite delicious.


PROVACUNO is the inter-professional organisation of the Spanish Beef industry. Due to the efficient and sustainable production within the Spanish meat industry, beef is one of the key sectors! Sadly, the beef was still in the process of cooking while we were at the booth, hence we missed out on the chance to give it a try, as we had very little time to mingle at each booth.


Lastly, thanks for the pineapple snacks which were given generously by the Ananas Republic! These premium snacks are sweet, yet can be considered generally healthier!


Thanks for having us at the media tour, and Speciality & Fine Food Asia and Restaurant, Pub & Bar Asia back again from the 29 September to 01 October 2020! See you next year!

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder. The scent still lingering in the bathroom for hours and it smells pleasant as well as not being over-powering. I love how my hair feels smooth after using each of the products. I tried the White Musk shampoo and Cherry Blossom treatment, and I was

Thanks for introducing COCOnCO from Korea which has helped me to achieve pleasant results from my beauty regime.   COCOnCO First Essence Toner  is a fermented facial essence, and it soothes wrinkles, tones, moisturizes and nourishes the skin, enhances blood circulation and metabolic processes at the cellular level, evens out complexion, brightens the skin, reduces the secretion of sebaceous glands and fights rashes. If you have pale, tired skin with sagging and fine lines, these can be miraculously transformed with regular use of the essence! It is suggested to be used as the first step in daily skin care. Apply it to cleansed skin first before applying the lotion, emulsion/serum and cream.  It is recommended for the product to be used twice a day - Once in the morning, and once in the evening. After using the COCOnCO First Essence , I did find it more hydrating and my skin is now less sensitive. My favorite way to use this is just as an essence after applying my toner, in order to ad

The common scalp problems can cause a lot of irritation, but also hair loss. I was in complete shock at the state of my nightmarish infected scalp! One must make a huge effort to take good care of your scalp. Hence here I am at Jonsson Protein for their signature VE Protein Hair Treatment.

She also explained that my scalp was pretty oily, and my scal
