Bring You Family For Homely Local Cuisine At AOne Claypot House

Hi Huneybees,

After a month of vegetarian diet,, I have taken a lighter and healthier approach when it comes to food. That is also why I fell in love with the dishes served in AOne Claypot House when I was invited for a food tasting session there.

Whilst watching a healthy, balanced menu, the flavour of the dishes are not compromised. It brings me back to those happy days (when studying for exams was all I stressed about), whole family sitting around the dining table, enjoying my mum's cooking.

All because at AOne, they believe in creating a casual, comfortable atmosphere for everyone to share and enjoy family-style comfort food, encompassing all the local flavours of Singapore, that we all grew up loving and eating.

Dishes prepared in claypot is not easy to find and it is definitely a test of the chef's skills, but they have chose to use the claypot as they believe that food should be consume at the right temperature.
Together with fresh ingredients, the claypot allows good airflow, good heat insulation, thus locking all the moisture and nutrients in while cooking, resulting in tender and juicy meats whilst using less oil.

'

Before I get started introducing you to the mouth watering dishes, you definitely have to order yourself a pot of their caffeine free and no added sugar - Assorted Fruit and Flower Tea. Not only is it infused with floral fragrance, you can also find Chinese Hawthorn 山楂 inside.

I love having Chinese Hawthorn tea as it has a slight sourish touch, that is appetizing and very good for digestion as well. It can lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and (LADIES!!!) it is also beneficial for those who want to get that hourglass figure. Hehehe...

Now that I have whetted your appetite, it's time to get to the main dishes! Amongst all those that we have tried that day, I love the Premium Dried Scallop Porridge (干贝艇仔粥), that comes served full of fresh and sweet scallops, fish and cuttlefish infused into the porridge cooked with pearl white rice. 

This is the type of porridge that is cooked to a gooey thick texture, and not matter how long you stir or leave it cold, it does not turn watery. With the claypot, my porridge remained warm throughout the whole session, letting us enjoy this porridge slowly with every bite, taking in the "sea". :)

And for scallop lovers like me, be sure to try the Premium Claypot (一品锅) and Steamed Scallop with Minced Garlic & Vermicelli (蒜蓉粉丝蒸带子). 

The Premium Claypot with its prestigious name, encompasses all sorts of seafood - Abalone, Mushroom, Scallop, Sliced Fish, Prawn and Fish Maw. I can simply have this and a bowl of plain white rice to go with!

For a light meal, you can have the Steamed Scallop with Minced Garlic & Vermicelli. The seasoning is just right and with the right pairing of the garlic and seafood, the vermicelli is definitely my go to comfort food now. I always have this when I go to AOne. :X

Of course, if you have more people joining you, you can try out these other delicious dishes as well.

Dried Scallop Porridge with Minced Meat & Assorted Eggs (Century Egg, Salted Egg, Egg)

干贝三色混蛋肉碎粥

Honey Chicken
冰花蜜汁鸡丁

Deep fried pumpkin and lotus root with creamy salted egg sauce

(咸蛋奶油金瓜莲藕)

Assorted Vegetables in Sambal Sauce

Ever since this food tasting session, I am always dropping by for more. The food is great and the ambience, perfect for family gatherings and chit chats over food. I would recommend this for a family of all generations to come enjoy a meal ~~~

Do You Have #RoadSense?

Hi Huneybees,

As the country develops and move forward, I see more and more cars on the road. But riding as a passenger in my hubby's car has started to get scary as drivers start to get a little too aggressive with stress building up and seems like technology has slowly crept in and get in the way of drivers.

That is also why Singapore's Traffic Police held a multi-disciplinary dialogue session recently as part of their Use Your RoadSense movement. Part of the larger Safer Roads Singapore action plan, the Use Your RoadSense movement looks to spark self-reflection among all road users, raise empathy and respect for each other on the roads, in turn leading to the development of a new road culture, eventually reducing road accidents when our roads are safer and better for all.

This movement is a fresh approach to educate and engage users on road safety in Singapore, to facilitate understanding between the diverse road user groups – pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. Also sparking this active engagement and co-creation approach to crafting road safety initiatives between the Traffic Police and the public. 

Through this movement, Traffic Police hopes to hold many conversations with the various road user groups to understand their road safety concerns and hear their ideas on how a culture of safer road use can be cultivated in Singapore.

The first of these many conversations was the dialogue session held on 7th April 2015 with Traffic Police gathering a panel of field experts to look at how direct and indirect factors such as road planning, road technology, socio-culture and human psychology affect road attitudes and driver traits, giving a direction to our "RoadSense".

“Traffic Police needs to take a larger, holistic view of our traffic road policing, in view of the changing road environment today. Users are now more diverse and come from different backgrounds and grew up in different times. Road and car technologies are also affecting our attitudes on the roads. We are always connected and are faced with more distractions.

We may have one of the safest road networks in the region but we can do more to cultivate good road behaviour and discipline. Road safety is not just about enforcements. We need to build a culture of self-discipline, care and empathy on our roads. We hope this movement provides the foundation for it. As we adopt a multi-perspective approach to road safety, we call upon all individuals, organisations and companies to work together on this shared initiative to develop a new road culture for Singapore." 

--- Assistant Commissioner Sam Tee, Commander Traffic Police.

If you have interest to learn more about the movement and what the RoadSense is all about, go ahead to take part in the conversation online, at the Use Your RoadSense Facebook page. Share what having, or not having #RoadSense is, and support the movement by getting others around you involved. Visit www.facebook.com/roadsense.sg for more details.

Let's be observe more road safety and roadsense!

Let Singapore be a great place to drive in! 

Drive safely! :)

Enjoy Restaurant Dishes At The Comfort Of Your Home With foodpanda

Hi Huneybees,

Ever since I got married, I have been cooking dinner when ever I can. Sometimes, hubby will cook his specialty, but most of the times, we get tired and bored of the same stuffs, or can't come up with new dishes. It gets pretty frustrating and lucky I was introduced to foodpanda, now I can have restaurant food delivered straight to my doorstep!

It's even much easier to order now! With their 2nd anniversary, foodpanda announced the launch of their mobile app that is downloadable across all platforms - App Store, Google Play and even Windows! Now, I can simply order my food whilst on the way home and piping hot dinner will be waiting for me once I get home! AWESOME!

They have a wide range of cuisines from Western to Chinese to Japanese and you are definitely spoilt for choices, especially when you don't live so near to the restaurants!

foodpanda has also changed a new look, more matured looking, more universal, though I still preferred the previous one. But then again, coz I was an animator, all things cartoony still appeal to me more. Hehehehe...

foodpanda, together with its affiliated brand hellofood, is the leading global online food delivery marketplace, active in over 40 countries. The company enables restaurants to become visible in the online and mobile world and provides them with a constantly evolving online technology.

Over the years, Yoshinoya has rapidly expanded around the world, to various countries including Japan, USA, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and Singapore. Yoshinoya Singapore was started in 1997 and has since grown from the first flagship outlet at Ngee Ann City to over 20 outlets island-wide, including 3 in food courts. I'm their ardent fan when it comes to beef bowl rice, with additional tofu and the chilli flakes... I"M HUNGRY ALREADY!

You can bring your friends along and enjoy ‘live’ at least 50 of the 64 soccer matches on big screens, including the opening match on 13th June and grand finals on 14th July from 12 am to 6 am.

Adidas Expects To Achieve New Record Sales Of € 2 Billion In Football In 2014

Hi Huneybees,

Adidas expects to achieve new record sales of € 2 billion in the football category in 2014, the company announced today. “The FIFA World Cup^TM is the perfect stage to showcase our company, our brands and our products. adidas is the clear no. 1 in football globally – in terms of sales, innovative power and brand visibility. Through the World Cup we will once again underline our leading position and share our passion for the game with fans around the world,” commented Herbert Hainer, CEO of the adidas Group.

As the Official Sponsor, Supplier and Licensee of the 2014 FIFA World Cup^TM, adidas will again supply the Official Ball of the tournament and equip officials, referees, volunteers and ball kids.

Starting in the second half of 2013, adidas will be launching a constant stream of new and innovative football products for the World Cup. “We will use the World Cup to prove our great football expertise and to show fans the technological know-how and creativity that adidas consistently delivers at the cutting edge of football, again underlining our leadership in innovation. We create technologies that help players and teams unlock their potential, building products that are the very best for the athletes. For the World Cup, adidas will again be one step ahead,” explained Markus Baumann, Senior Vice President adidas Football.

In Latin America, the adidas Group has performed extraordinarily well over the past decade – driven by the adidas brand, where sales have grown at strong double-digit rates every year since 2002. With the Confederations Cup and the World Cup creating another strong push, adidas expects continuous and solid double-digit sales growth in Latin America in the years to come.

Over the past few months, adidas has enjoyed strong successes in football: Lionel Messi has been awarded the FIFA Ballon d´Or as the best player of the year for the fourth time in a row, Chelsea FC won an all adidas final in the UEFA Europa League and FC Bayern Munich was recently crowned UEFA Champions League winner. At the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, four out of eight teams are equipped by adidas: the World and European Champion Spain, Asian Champion Japan, CONCACAF Champion Mexico and the 2013 Africa Cup winner Nigeria. Japan was also the very first team to qualify the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ in Brazil. 

While celebrating with fans on the ground in Brazil in 2014, adidas will also export the excitement surrounding the World Cup to football fans all around the globe, leveraging point-of-sale and digital communication with a strong focus on social media.
