Simply Her - June 2011

Did anyone get a copy of this month’s Simply Her magazine?

There are two articles on our customers and both featured our Tee cups rather prominently.  I’m certainly not complaining. :)  Thank goodness for Wifey who pointed them out to me.  Now naturally, I’m not in the habit of reading women magazines - although i just might have to now..

The Glass House at Hotel Fort Canning has a novel way of filling our cups - with mixed seafood.  Certainly worth a try!

Yum Seng!

Singapore Food Expo - Photos

Did you manage to catch us during the fair?

Congratulations to those who got some good deals on our Tee cups - especially on the last day.

Well, here are some pictures of us and of you:

Here’s one from the inside:

Check out the size of the crowd!  It was shoulder to shoulder on most days, so I must apologize if we did not get to answer all your questions, or if our replies were a little curt or fast paced. 

On the last day of the fair and they’re still managing a smile.  They’ve been standing and talking for 11 hours a day for the last 5 days.  Kudos.  Check out the “shack” face of Uncle Charlie (the guy in white).

See you in our next fair in early September @ Suntec City.

Yum Seng!

Asia Pacific Food Expo 2010!

Oh gosh, it’s been a while since my last post.  So sorry for the radio silence, but I’ve just graduated into parenthood and as baby Emma Joy was delivered pre-term, special attention and care was required.

Needless to say, I had my hands full.  Thank God she’s now a healthy bouncing baby, oblivious of all the drama that surrounded her parturition.

In any case,

Food & Travel Magazine - April 2010

Did any one catch the latest issue of Food & Travel magazine?  The April 2010 edition?

We are on the COVER!  Yippee!  Don’t you just love what they did to our cups?

Their pictures are so beautifully taken, I’m getting hungry just looking at them.  I can almost smell…  yumz.

Grilled Hokkaido Scallop with Soba and Wakame

This is my all time favorite recipe.

Made some last year for some friends and they all loved it.  Super simple to prepare, gorgeous to look at, fabulous on the palate.

Ingredients:

4 pcs small sized Hokkaido scallops
50g Japanese soba noodle
20g fresh wakame salad
2 sliced shitake mushroom
¼ pkt enoki mushroom

1) Cook the soba noodle in salted boiling water for 4 mins
2) Strain and put in ice water to stop the cooking process, strain again
3) Season the scallops and quickly sear them in a very hot frying pan
4) Combine the soba with the mushroom and the wakame, add the dressing
5) Garnish the Tee cup with the soba noodle and top it with the scallop
6) Decorate!

Cheers!

Gong Xi Fa Chai 2010

Gong Xi Fa Chai!

Let me first extend a belated Chinese New Year greeting to all our Chinese folks.  Gosh, how time flies when you’re having fun!

Do allow me to apologize if you were not able to get any of our cups during this CNY period.  Every single cup is still individually handmade, and we can only make so many each day.  So if you did not place your order early and could not get any, do remember to call us earlier next year to avoid disappointment.   We started collecting orders as far back as December for CNY 2010, and will probably begin to do so this year as well.

Supply is now back to normal, and the various Cold Storage outlets are now fully stocked.

Thank you so much for all your support!

Here’s wishing one and all a wonderful year ahead!

Cheers!
