Seah's Premix Spices Gift Pack & Giveaway

Recently I have received an email from the marketing department of Seah's Spices Food Industries Pte Ltd mentioning that they are sending a gift pack in appreciation to me on sharing some of their products in my blog post recipes. Upon hearing that, I was too shock and overjoy to believe that their team actually take the time and effort to go around sourcing and reading recipes blogs such as mine.

After about two weeks from their email, I have received their gift pack yesterday, which consists of a box of their makeover premix spices, oyster sauce and a recipes book on how to use their products.

Their "Roasted & Steamed & Braised food" range consists of my favourite Emperor Herbs Chicken Spices which I used to ask my mum to send it to me while I was in overseas. And now I spotted that they actually have Salt-roasted Chicken Spices and Stewed Fragant Spices too which I am curious to try it out soon.

So far I have tried only two of their "Broth & Soup" products which are "Singapore Bak Kuet Teh"(click HERE) and "Herbal Chicken Soup"(click HERE) that I have shared in my previous posts.

But they do have other products under this range are:- Scallop Shark's Fin Soup, Buddha Jump Over the Wall Soup and Seafood Hotpot which acts as a great helper for festive season meal. Or you might prefer something healthier to build up the family members immune system such as trying their "Nutritious Black Chicken Soup".

Seah's spices also have a range of "Deep-fried food" spices which can be use either as a batter or seasoning for deep-fried stuffs. The sample that I have over here are:- Five-Spices Fried Chicken Spices, Spicy Fried Chicken Spices, Prawn-Flavoured Fried Chicken Spices and Fried Crispy Prawn Spices.

If you prefer some hot and spicy flavour from their products, then these "Stir-Fried Food" range will be great for a choice. Honestly speaking, I have not try any of these before and I am surprised to see some of these spices too. Here you can find:- Pepper Salt Prawn Spices, Black Pepper Crab Spices, Black Pepper Spices(Beef/Chicken) and Curry Chicken Spices.

Until I found these in the gift pack, I didn't know that Seah's also have their very own "Desserts & Beverages" products such as Red Beans Dessert with Orange Peel, Ginseng Chrysanthemum Powder and Creamy Corn Coconut Dessert Powder. Posted by Picasa
