[Media Launch] The Ladies Cue

Is about time to RESET, REFOCUS and RESTART! 

I left Scoot at the beginning of this year and have been resting at home since then... Is about time now to work on new plans and tasks but the thought of getting back into the workforce after a long break stresses me much. I have been seeking friends and turning to them for advice and directions. I was then reminded of a community I was introduced to upon knowing Melissa; The Ladies Cue.

The Ladies Cue is a lifestyle community for ladies by ladies. It is an online and offline platform created to support ladies through the different stages of life, in particular, working mothers or ladies who shoulder multiple responsibilities and commitments. The Ladies Cue prompts the ladies to support and empower each other.

Through Melissa, the COO of The Ladies Cue, I had the pleasure to attend The Ladies Cue's official media launch after its rebrand. The official media launch was held at Chef Avenue, Tai Seng late last year with an interesting tour of Chef Avenue, an uplifting dialogue session on 'Know Your Worth' while enjoying a mini 3-course meal prepared by Made in Orient as well as a Lucky Draw!

Lady luck came to me that day, rewarding me with X2 sessions of Body Sculptor Treatment by Raffles Lady with Beauty Mums & Babies. It was definitely the easiest and most relaxing slimming session I have ever come across. So, thank you, The Ladies Cue!!

[Food Tasting] Enjoy Eating House and Bar

Missing the time where we gather together as a full squad attending food tasting. Always enjoy the company of Jasmine, Shu Qing and Jessie. And one of those occasions was when we had the opportunity to try out dishes from Enjoy Eating House and Bar together. A post long overdue, but definitely still deserves a shout-out.



Enjoy Eating House and Bar is located at the heart of Singapore, in the very rustic Kam Leng Hotel along Jalan Besar with a retro restaurant theme. The owner and chef of the restaurant, Joel Ong, said it highlights the poignancy of the dishes they present as they are many of the dishes we grew up with as Singaporeans. He named the restaurant “Enjoy Eating House & Bar” as it evokes a certain nostalgia. With an undeniable passion for the art of cooking since young, Joel impresses his guests with his wok skills. He also ensures the food they serve uses the best and freshest ingredients for the best quality. All of their sauces are made in-house with no added MSG and the food is prepared to order so every dish is served freshly cooked.

The restaurant has a ZiChar-style menu personally curated that celebrates all the Asian influences that make Singaporean food so unique with four main signature dishes styled as the Four Heavenly Kings of Enjoy Eating House;


1. Brandy White Fish Soup – Made from scratch by boiling fried fish bones for hours on end to achieve a collagen-rich soup with a natural milky consistency. A shot of brandy elevates the flavour of the soup.


2. Singapore-style Chilli Prawns – Singaporeans may be more familiar with the crab version of this dish but this is a fuss-free version with pan-seared sea prawns. The sauce is Joel's own recipe and its flavour certainly packs a punch. As always, it goes great with fried Mantous.


3. Chef J’s BBQ Pork – One of Joel's very own creations. A Thai-inspired dish from his extensive experience. The texture and juiciness of the meat are what makes it such a crowd favourite.


4. Grandma’s “Te Kah” Bee Hoon – The Wok Hei and home-made tender braised pork leg shines through on this dish. A homage to Joel's dearly departed grandmother, the taste of this dish still brings warmth to his heart.


Another popular dish we love when we visited the restaurant is this Shiok Prawn Patties. The patty is crispy on the outside yet chewy and tasty inside it.


During this period of Circuit Breaker, their business is still on-going and is offering free island-wide delivery.

The virtual cafeteria is possibly the safest and the most convenient option for corporate lunch at work now! Check out SPOONFUL MEALS @spoonful.meals now and start planning your orders!!

Spoonful Meals, now the largest cloud kitchen operator and delivery-only brand creator in Hong Kong, has launched its brands in Singapore. With over 1,000,000 meals delivered to date, Spoonful Meals aims to provide consumers in Singapore with more choice, more convenience and more delicious food. The thriving delivery market is joined by NOSH, GA, and Sesami. (The official launch is said to be in upcoming May 2020.)

All meals are prepared and cooked in a cloud kitchen centralised to the delivery area, ensuring that the food delivered stays fresh and timely. With the help from their delivery partner Foodpanda's extensive network, the operator promises to deliver each order within 20 minutes.

When I was at the launch, I witnessed the excitement from Max von Poelnitz, the founder of NOSH and Spoonful, about bringing his business into Singapore's market. It was a short and sweet introduction he made.



With NOSH, GA, and Sesami offering different types of cuisine, consumers are treated to a variety of food options to satisfy their immediate cravings.

I had the privilege to try some of their offerings and they are really delicious! ( Pictures of food below are catered for media launch day and differ from its menu, kindly check their menu for exact items for your orders. )


NOSH

NOSH offers healthy California cuisine with its selection of Burrito bowls, salads crudites and vegetarian options. Lean meats, fresh vegetables and foods low in saturated fats are the order of the day, great as a light lunch or an afternoon snack. Each meal will boast a low-calorie count of between 400 to 600 per serving and have been carefully curated with a high-protein with low-fat content; ideal for weight watchers and the health-conscious.







GA

GA roughly translated to 'home-cooked', offers a selection of heart-warming Chinese favourites, reminiscent of Cantonese style comfort food. Apart from serving dishes close to the taste of home, the brand will also launch the Impossible meat in some of its dishes, made from plants as a healthier alternative. GA was designed by a team of Hong Kong-based chefs with a focus on comfort food and affordability.









Sesami

Sesami features Japanese cuisine which is not only nutritionally balanced but also beautifully packed in Bento boxes.



In Singapore, Spoonful Meals currently retails via the Foodpanda delivery platform for direct consumer business and corporate orders can be made via the Spoonful app.
