Juiceworks Raya Rush has all the right ingredients to counter Malaysian's hot and humid weather. With watermelon as its main base, it blends with revitalizing drinks such as coconut water and crushed cranberries and then topped off with a low fat cooling vanilla ice cream sorbet which just gives off the maximum and ultimate cooling off drink. It had the right amount of ice as well, making it not super cold nor super sweet from the fruits. With it, you can even get your fix of vitamin C and fiber intake from the fruits. The new way of hydration is through Juiceworks. It is simply refreshing and with three sizes to choose from, there's a size for anyone. There is nothing that I don't like about it except towards the end where the ice would not melt, resulting in a clump of sorbet ice at the bottom which had no juice left. Otherwise, this deserves full stars for the taste and hydrating effects!

I use this brand of soy sauce because it has the perfect balance of tanginess, sweetness and saltiness without the excessive taste of soybeans and fermentation like how some other conventional brands may have. The soy sauce is rather diluted in texture which makes it easy for stir-fries, dips and even as a condiment in your mashed potatoes. I really like the aroma and the bottle looks very nice and elegant too. Beware though, you have to place it in the fridge after opening as it will tend to grow mould if not refrigerated.

When I need to use tomato puree, it normally means that I am cooking a large batch of a dish, either sauce for spaghetti, or for a pizza base. I don’t personally prefer this brand of tomato puree because it tastes rather to the sour side and it can also appear to be too thick for my liking. I normally would have to dilute the puree with water and a dash of sugar to neutralise the taste to make my dish more palatable.

The combination is well-known in any cooking. Salted caramel works extremely well with ice-cream and you know a brand like Haagen Dazs won’t let you down with their pioneer industry. Yet, the name itself makes you wonder how the ratio will be like. Personally, I like it to lean more on the saltier side because I want to taste the saltiness first, then the sweetness will take over. However, I didn’t get that kind of response from the ice-cream. It was sweet, then sweet. I was missing the salty aspect of it and since it’s called salted, there should be hints of them but I barely found them. Perhaps my tolerance for salty food is higher, but nonetheless, quite a letdown.

It was my very first encounter with lime flavored ice-cream despite being a fan of citrus. I can’t quite remember my first time trying it, probably around 7 years old, but I do remember I would have it for the next four days in a row. I have grown out of it now, but it tastes zesty as it is energizing. The subtle sourness of the lime complements well with the sweet vanilla ice-cream. It’s one of those classics Wall ice-cream that will be here for a very long time. Great product!

Yam flavored ice-cream turned into an ice-cream potong? Yes please! What I disliked about conventional yam ice-cream was that it melts super quickly, but with King’s Potong, the taste lasts way longer and gets me addicted to it. This is one ice-cream I can eat over and over and over again, no matter the amount. The sweetness that comes from a yam is so different than that of sweet potatoes, so it is unique. With a vibrant purple color, and an everlasting goodness within, it’s no wonder I keep coming back for more!

For some, it may be too much, but I think it should have that strong garlic taste which amplifies the whole chicken frankfurter sausage. AYAMAS seals it airtight and packages them in sixes, but enough garlic in each of them, so that we can actually distinct them. Boiled, fried or baked are just one of the many ways I tried making with it and the best way to cook it is defrosting it first, parboil and then bake till golden an crispy. Be sure to let it thaw first since it has to be kept in the freezer, otherwise, you can have an undercook inside but cooked on the surface which is risking salmonella. In total, a plus product!

If you have not seen Nestlé Neapolitan Ice Cream or tried it before, I suggest to do so now. Once you open up the lid, you see three flavors of ice-cream, Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry, three staples of flavors that made Nestle ice-cream brand flourish. Originally, it was all seperate but because of good feedback, they combined all three into everybody’s favorite now. It is creamy, vibrant in colors, silky and luscious to the lips. It is a steal when considering the price of one whole tub is that of only 5-7 Mcdonald’s ice-cream depending on the promotion.

Boy oh boy, do I wish to steal the secret formula in making a Ramly burger patty. Except that it’s made available in all supemarkets already. The distinct beef Ramly burger that is used by street vendors are just heavenly. The smell and robust flavours that come out of that patty when it sizzles on the grill is equivalent to those made on Masterchef. But, this is the only frozen patty! It just tastes that good like a Burger Bakar. Easily comfort food that I make too at home.

I don’t enjoy green tea too much beside it’s original tea leaves. The next thing I’ll have any green tea related to is green tea ice-cream. Dissimilar to the powder forms they add in macaroons or matcha powder, the creamy take of green tea feels easier down the throat and on the tongue. It is also a great way to introduce people to green tea without it tasting bitter as it complements well with the ice-cream base. A good starter, but not my favorite.
