How Would You Make the Most of Today with Your Little Ones?

In today’s generation, everyone is busy but that should not be an excuse not to spend time with our children. From my previous post here on my awareness of how important it is to leave precious footprints with my little one, I am so set on making sure my little one and me has lots of ‘Our Today Moments’ through our journey in life. Let’s all make sure that our time is used wisely with our children as our top priority in life. Before we know it, they will all grow up and leave our nest for their own journey in their lives. And so, I would hope to have them carry with them all our precious memories together… just like I had with my mother.

With all the above said, I would like to share with you all about Friso Gold ‘Our Today Moments’ Contest.

My Friso Gold Today Moments

With my busy schedule, I realize that sometimes even the simplest everyday-to-do basic things are not done with my child.

To get a kick start to my Today Moments, I will pledge to spend time with my son to cook with him at least twice a week since he loves to go into the kitchen to play cooking all the time. He has even won a food competition simply because he loves anything to do with cooking. Most of the time I would arrive home late after work and buy a meal for us.

 

 

I believe that spending time with him in the kitchen will ensure great quality time and also provide a healthy and nutritious meal for him.

Every idea is a great start so make a pledge to your child and make your own Today Moments memorable… make sure to submit your idea to Friso Gold ‘Our Today Moments’ Contest. Who knows, you and your child might be the lucky winners!

Seasons Café, Grand Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur: A Double Celebration of Chap Goh Mei & Valentine’s Day!

To many lovers out there, this year’s Valentine’s Day falls on the same day as Chap Goh Mei, much to their dismay. Fear not, it may be a lovely opportunity to celebrate both special days together. After all, I found out this only happens every nineteen years. Anyhow, every day should be a special day for lovers and not just only once a year… if you get my jiff! Wink wink..

In honors of both Chap Goh Mei and Valentine’s Day, Grand Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur is going all out to whip up a feast of love and prosperity at the Seasons Café with their offering of a cosmopolitan mix of dishes. Foodies get to enjoy a spread of Chinese New Year dishes together with some lovey-dovey dishes in honor of the lover’s day too. My partner and I were invited to get a sneak peak at the cosmopolitan buffet that will be available on 14 February 2014, this Friday.

Located at one of the busiest area in the heart of our city, we made our way there pretty easily. Seasons Café is an all-day-dining that has a 180 seating capacity. It offers a fusion buffet of East meets West. The ambience is comfortable and spacious. Since it was CNY, Seasons Café was really nicely dressed up with some festival décor to add to the festivity mood.

We started off with some of the Chap Goh Mei and Valentine’s Day highlights of the buffet. The centerpiece that caught everyone’s attention was a double heart shape Salmon Yee Sang. As it is a DIY station, put on your thinking caps and get creative with your Yee Sang on this double happiness occasion!

Kick start the buffet with its list of appetizers like Seafood Cocktail, Chinese Cold Cuts, Smoked Salmon with Capers on Spoon, Fresh Seafood on Ice, Sashimi and Sushi and more. I heard that there will also be a Nyonya favorite of Ju Hoo Char on Lettuce too! There are also Salad Bar and Rojak station for those who love their vegetables and fruits.

Soup Bar features Chinese Fish Maw with Five Treasure Soup and a luscious Roasted Golden Pumpkin Soup.

Nien Nien You Yue is a must and Chinese Chef Kendy Lee has prepared a Crispy Fish with his Signature Sauce dotted with cubes of fruits. A sweet and fruity version, this classic is executed really well with a nice balance of flavors. There will also be a Steamed Home Style Garoupa Head for those who prefer a lighter version of flavors.

Prawns are another perennial favorite at this time of the year and Chef Lee has prepared Wok Fried Prawns with Patong Sauce for us that evening. More Chinese New Year dishes like Wok Fried XO Mussels infused with Bird Eye Chilies, Traditional Beggar Chicken, Stew Sea Cucumber and Fried Ngah Ku with Rainbow Vegetables will be available on hot buffet warmers.

Western bar offers Carvery Station featuring Roasted Duck and Sesame Chicken. Enjoy Grilled Lamb Cutlets with Sauce, Grilled Saba Fish Fillet, Baked Cannelloni Gratin, Herb Marinated Beef Skewers with Smoked Gravy, Assorted Mushroom, Roasted Turned Potatoes with Beans and more. Hit live station for luscious Satay, Teppanyaki and Grilled Meats and Seafood.

Other counters offer standard Noodle station and Malay cuisine featuring Curry Ayam Debal, Ikan Tenggiri Asam Manis Berkuah, Rendang Hati Lembu Tok Su and Patelis Terung Seri Rampai.

 End the sweet festive day with lots of love from the dessert bar. Featuring lots of international and local Miniature Desserts of puddings, cakes, jellies, tarts, kuih and more, there is something for everyone. Go Chinese and enjoy Deep Fried or Steamed Ningko, Tong Yuen in Syrup, Chinese New Year Cookies and Mandarin Oranges. There is even a fusion of Mandarin Orange Bread Pudding in the list.

The Chap Goh Mei & Valentine’s day Buffet is available only in Seasons Café located at Ground Floor level, on the 14^th February 2014 for RM78++ per person.

Link, Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar: Welcomes the Year of The Horse with Properity Chinese New Year Buffet!

It’s a Big Bang of Flavors at Link’s CNY Festive Buffets!

This festive provides an excuse to indulge! And what better way to do so than to succumb to a kaleidoscope of festive favorites with family and friends on this auspicious Chinese New Year of the Horse at Link, an all-day dining restaurant at Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar. The Chinese believes that the New Year revolves around 5 blessings of longevity, riches, peace, wisdom and virtue. With the belief in mind, Link’s Chef Lee Yew Ken and the kitchen team has whip up a luscious spread of Chinese festive dishes symbolized with the 5 blessings.

Link is wide and spacious, elegantly designed with bold contrasting colors of red, white and black. It can accommodate large parties and even has its own private dining room. Its all about choices at Link. Their buffet spread is large in every section. There are also live stations preparing fresh food upon order. This New Year, Link is offering many classic favorite Chinese dishes and we got a sneak peak at its menu.

We were entertained by traditional Chinese music featuring a couple playing the Gu Zhen and Er Hu that evening which was really beautiful and mesmerizing. Throughout the festive month, guests are treated to a series of festive performances to complement the festive buffets. There will be Caligraphy Art and Traditional Chinese Music Band during dinner time on 21^st, 24^th, 26^th, 27^th, 28^th, 30^th January and 7^th to 8^th February 2014. Southern Shaolin Kung Fu performs on 7^th to 8^th February 2014 while Acrobatic Lion Dance with firecrackers lighting ceremony that takes center stage on the auspicious date of 4^th February 2014 at 11.00am. Make sure to catch these performances!

Making its usual mark for the festive season is Yee Sang. It would hardly be a complete celebration without the tossing of the auspicious Yee Sang. At Link’s festive buffets, guests can creatively concoct their own unique Yee Sang with a wide selection of ingredients that features lots of fresh and pickled julienned vegetables and fruits, crispy crackers and the assorted array of butterfish, tuna and salmon. If you can’t decide, have all three fishes to your hearts’ content. Toss the Prosperity Yee Sang with their chef’s special wasabi plum sauce!

Traditional dishes with auspicious significance of the 5 blessings are served and these include Double Boiled Cordyceps Flower Broth with Chicken, Braised Sea Treasure with Fried Garlic, Steamed Snapper Fish with Fried Ginger and Soya Sauce, Wok Fried Prawns with Curry Leaf & Butter, Braised Dried Oyster with Fatt Choi and Deep Fried Paper Wrapped Chicken.

I personally love the Double Boiled Cordyceps Flower Broth with Chicken for its earthy warm notes while the Braised Sea Treasure with Fried Garlic features an abundance of seafood like Sea Asparagus, Clams, Dried Scallop and more all beautifully braised in a rich brown sauce. The Wok Fried Prawns were succulent and creamy and another favorite of mine has to be the Braised Dried Oysters with Fatt Choi where cabbage rolls filled with dried oysters and fish paste are deliciously soft and tasty.

There are also other signatures like Marinated Crystal Rolls with Jellyfish, Shanghai Cold Chicken with Peanut Sauce, Aromatic Steamed Snapper with Teow Chew Sauce, Oven Roasted Five Spice Duck and many more!

Did I mention that the dessert section at Link is vast and lots of festive sweet goodies will be tempting your taste bud this festive season? From Pineapple Tarts to Ping Pei Red Bean Roll, Plum Dumpling, Sweet Lotus Soup, and Chinese Baked Egg Tarts to the icy treat of sumptuous Ice Creams, choosing a few would be a hard decision. I highly recommend the Ice Cream bar which features a luscious Strawberry and Cheesecake ice cream that was so good, I had two scoops of it!

 

The Prosperity Chinese New Year Buffet is priced at RM90nett per person for lunch and RM106nett per person for dinner. While with the upgraded dinner menu for Chinese New Year’s Eve on the 30^th January 2014, the Reunion Dinner Buffet is priced at RM108nett per person and RM138nett per person with house pouring beverage.
