Vegetarian Snack Time!!

I think Yes Natural is a new participant to this year's food fair at Vesak@Orchard. Glad to find it promoting what's been proclaimed as healthy snacks there.

The Organic Brown Rice Rings, come in both cheese & chocolate flavour. The rings tasted very much those cheesy corn snacks/morning cereal. I chose its chocolate flavour which is actually covered with a layer of cocoa coating.

Do keep it in air-tight containers if you couldn't finish to preserve its crispiness.

Instant Cup Noodles

Another instant product!!!

Sigh, using up my stock of cup noodles before I intended to:-(

Su Piao Xiang (Mushroom & wild vege) is a Taiwanese brand that I got from YiXin, which seems to be increasing its stock of off-shelve products. Taiwan is getting more & more famous with its quality instant cup noodles that more people had started requesting friends visiting it to bring back as souvenir.
Certainly glad that quality of cup noodles improved which at least reduce the miserably of those who have to take it for ot purpose. This brand is certainly a much improvement from what we used to have, so worth trying maybe for supper too at only $1.50. ;-)

Vegetarian Snack Time!

SNACK TIME!
Into my new job with lots of overtime expected, I decided to stock up some snacks. While exploring the area around my new workplace, I found this shop: The Organic Paradise Pte Ltd, well hidden from the busy human traffic and according to the owner, they had been there for more than 10 years.

I decided to try the Organic Sunflower Seed Biscuits 90gm at $2.80.
It comes in small pieces, similar to those Pumpkin seed cookies with maltose found in small packets. This pack tasted quite crunchy, and its maltose has a slight sesame & ginger-like fragrance that I found myself addicted and finishing the pack fast.:P
Sigh, i can forsee myself putting on weight in just a week's time. :-(

According to the label, it is Certified organic (raw material) by : BSC Oko-Garamite of Germany.
Ingredients:Organic Sunflower Seed, sesame seed, organic apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, maltose, Himalaya crystal rock sugar

Sounds quite healthy? :-)

It also comes in several flavour, including black sesame, pumpkin and brown rice...
Personally, I prefer the brown rice version...:-)

Water Dispenser

What is this that I would like to introduce? The vertical Rectangular water dispenser in picture that with a press of the buttons is able to dispense cold, warm (around 30 degree Celsius) and hot water!!! Applause to this invention and I sure hope it could be introduced to Singapore soon.

If you had been to Singapore, the water dispensers are still very traditional, usually the type that you need a strong man to change heavy big bucket/bottle when it is empty. And it only has the choice of hot & cool water and not so user-friendly tap for hot water too. :P

I strongly believe there is a potential market in Singapore as well for this type of user-friendly water dispenser commonly found in Taipei. :-)

Taiwan Delights

We didn't had time to do shopping so we bought the popular local pastries from the airport. My family liked the Sun Cake and I was delighted to find our favourite brand having the vegetarian version. In fact, there are quite a few vegetarian pastries/brand if you ask the salesgirls for assistance.
Ingredients labelled: Flour, Sugar, Embryo (rice?米芽) bud , Honey, Vegetable Oil-etc. I think the vegetarian version tasted as nice as the non-vegetarian version from my faded memory:-)

My friend recommended another product called Butter Pastry which has a similar taste, more like a bigger version of Sun Cake in my opinion. Ingredients labelled: Flour, Granulated sugar, Butter, Vegetable oil. Under the English label, it stated "Pure Vegetarian". :P

Another favourite product from Jiu Fen, the plum in a small jelly wasn't available at the airport outlet:-( I sure miss that as well...

Fried Pumpkin Patty

It is good to know that instead of imitation mock chicken nuggets, there are new pro-vegetarian inventions. An easy snack to prepare and I did it the more healthy way: I steamed it. :-) It tasted like sotong balls with bread crumb coating and pumpkin fillings.

This is product of Vegefarm but no information on country of origin. Ingredients on label:

Glucomannan, Whey protein (milk protein), Canola oil, Starch, Butter, Pumpkin, Salt, Sugar, Pepper, Bread crumb (contains wheat), Vegetarian seasoning.
