Marvel Super Heroes Of The Avengers : Infinity War Were Spotted At NEX!

Hi Huneybees,

The Marvel Studios' "Avengers: Infinity War" is finally opened in Singapore's cinemas island-wide and I bet every fans of Avengers or  any Super Heroes from the extended Marvel Universe (e.g. Guardians of the Galaxy) are now busy planning with their friends or love ones to catch the latest Avengers installation over the next few days!

Having said that, you might wish to visit some of the main Marvel Super Heroes of the movie in NEX, the largest shopping mall in the north-east region of Singapore, located at 23 Serangoon Central, while staying pumped up with excitement.

From now till 1st May 2018, come face to face with Doctor Strange, Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord), Iron Man (new suit from the Infinity War!), and Black Panther at Level 1 Atrium of NEX and take selfie with these life-sized statue!

What's more, you and your friends could also train like Marvel Super Heroes at the Nerf game station (aim well to win prizes!) and Iron Man VR simulation station setup in the same area!!

To keep the Avengers fever going through the long weekend, NEX will also be holding FREE movie screenings - Captain America: Civil War on 28th and Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 on 29th April 2018, at 7pm at the same Atrium at level 1.

For Huneybees who do spend a minimum of SGD200 or SGD350  inclusive of Cold Storage or FairPrice Xtra purchases at the mall, with maximum three (3) combined same day receipts, you not only stand a chance (1 chance per SGD50 spent at NEX) to win a 8D6N trip to the hometown of Marvel Super Heroes but can redeem one of the following Marvel Avengers' exclusive merchandizes:

Do also lookout for more Avengers activities at NEX in the coming month of May and June for more Marvel Superheroes exhibition and activities!

Thank you NEX for the fun Avengers experience!

Come Enjoy Some Great Tasting Wine At Affordable Price With Me ~~~

Hi Huneybees,

Unlike beer, whiskey or rum, wine drinking is commonly associated with relaxation and unwinding. Drinking in moderation of wine, be it white or red, also has its health benefits, which is well documented.

With the above reasons coupled by the improvement of living standard, this often seen as the quintessential luxury in the beverage world, has gradually secured its place as an everyday item in the home and not just reserved for special occasions and festivities.

Usually a scene-setter to any sumptuous culinary experience, it is not uncommon to hear people assuming that the more expensive the wine costs, it possess better taste and quality.  In actual fact, prices of wine is alike jewelry, influenced by many factors other than quality of the beverage itself. 

Location of the vineyard and winery, the brand image, scores and ratings and even celebrity associations can push prices on the upward trend without impacting the quality of the wine.  Among my decent collection of Italian and Spanish wines, which I started five years ago, my usual weekend wine fix actually cost under SGD$30 a bottle off the retail shelf!

In Singapore the trend of wine drinking could easily be observed by its availability on the island nation. Huneybees could purchase a bottle - subject to The Liquor Control (Supply and Consumption) Act - not just at wine specialist stores but also in Supermarkets, convenience stores, and even Petrol Kisoks!

Emil Teo, Executive Director of Taste of Tradition, demonstrated how to appreciate wine

Huney'Z World was privileged to be invited to a special wine appreciation session hosted by Taste of Tradition, in partnership with Cold Storage, on good buys at the supermarket – finding that great bottle of wine right at your supermarket doorsteps.

Emil Teo, Executive Director of Taste of Tradition, an importer and distributor of fine wines around the world, shared that one can acquire a good bottle of wine at a supermarket at an affordable price in Rhône Wines from La Vieille Ferme. 

La Vieille Ferme with its numerous awards, accolades and reviews for Best Value and as one of the most sought after wine from the Rhône region has been producing authentic, honest and tasty wines vintage after vintage since 1970. "The Old farm", as translated in English, it has been acknowledged as one of the best value for money wines in the world. Its aims is to help change the common perception that wines of good quality and taste which tend to be expensive are only to be found at premium establishments and restaurants.

La Vielle Ferme Blanc - 2014

La Vieille Ferme Rouge - 2013

La Vieille Ferme Luberon Rosé - 2013

Three wines from the Rhone Valley of southern France were introduced : the White wine - La Vielle Ferme Blanc 2014, the Red wine - La Vieille Ferme Rouge 2013, and the Rosé wine - La Vieille Ferme Luberon Rosé 2013.

True to its reputation, all three wines tasted great but it's the La Vieille Ferme Luberon Rosé 2013 that gave your Queen Bee and myself the most impression. Made from grape variant of Cinsault 50%, Grenache 40% and Syrah 10%, this Rosé wine offers a richly balanced flavor with the just right sweetness, which is simply delightfully with every sip. With a price tag of under SGD$40, I'm very impressed by what La Vieille Ferme Luberon Rosé 2013 has to offer as not many winemakers make good and affordable Rosé wine as the process of Saignée or bleeding is long and tedious. Other methods such as pressing or blending (illegal in France) produce Rosé wine that is either too sweet or unbalanced in flavor. 

The next time if you wanted a great wine to share with your family or friends but not wanting to compromise on your other expenses, do head down to your nearest Cold Storage supermarket to buy any of the three mentioned wines from La Vieille Ferme. For me, that day starts tomorrow!

I am so looking forward to hearing my fellow Huneybees' experiences with these wines or any other great wines that you would recommend for under SGD$40.

Meantime, wishing all Huneybees a great unwinding weekend.

Lee Kum Kee Launches 3 New Products

Hi Huneybees,

Lee Kum Kee, a trusted brand for renowned chefs and homemakers, recently launched 3 new products - Tomato Ketchup, Pure Sesame Oil and Chu Hou Paste; adding to its array of premium products, such as soy and oyster sauces.

So, let me introduce the products to you...

Tomato Ketchup (SGD $1.25)

The Tomato Ketchup boasts a piquant tomato flavour, one that is richer than most existing products. This thick consistency is achieved by using only red, ripe tomatoes. Also, there are no added preservatives or colourings, so families can be generous with the servings. Not only can it be used as a dipping sauce, the Tomato Ketchup can also be used as part of the seasoning mix for beloved dishes such as seafood mee goreng or even chili crab!

Pure Sesame Oil (SGD $3.30)

The Pure Sesame Oil is made from natural white sesame seeds, The seeds are first lightly roasted, a process that brings out their unique and subtle flavours. During production, the full flavours of the seeds are carefully extracted and added to the oil. No chemical solvents or preservatives are added, Just a few drops of the sesame oil will lend an enticing taste to any dish, It can also be used to marinate meats.

Chu Hou Paste (SGD$3.50)

The Chu Hou Paste is a convenient cooking sauce, made from quality soybeans, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds and rice wine. It boosts a unique fermented soybean taste and fragrance. This taste first originated from South China and is best used for cooking, marinating or braising meats and vegetables.

With the launch, they held a bento making workshop with Ms. Shirley Wong, an expert at making kyraben (character bento boxes). She has a knack for making cute designs like Hello Kitty and My Melody. She incorporated the Lee Kum Kee's products into the process, adding the oomph to her ingredients.

Ms. Shirley Wong

At the workshop, it was all fun and she taught how easy it was to create a cute bento set, that I couldn't bear to eat. The steps were pretty easy and with heart and soul, everyone can create these lovely lunch boxes for their children or lovers...

An example of what we would be making.

The tables are set and ingredients all ready. It was time to make the bento!
