Giveaway! FREE Sample QUAKER Oats Oatmeal Cookie

I always love to make a bowl of Quaker Oats and drizzle it with some honey or dried mixed fruits during weekends for a quick and hearty breakfast. But today instead of their Quick Cooking Oats or snack bars, I would like to share with you some of their new products shown below that I have spotted from the local supermarkets.

Honestly before getting these oatmeal cookies I was struggling in mind on whether is it worth to pay S$2.85 for 6 individual packets of 3 cookies each. What if they don’t taste good, fragrant or crunchy like those normal butter or chocolate chips cookies? But after reading the description from the packaging I was motivated to get some since it is made with wholegrain oats, no artificial flavour and most important 0% trans fat.

For your information I did not get all the three flavour at the beginning. Out of the three I settle for my favourite “Oatmeal Cookie with Raisin” which is surprisingly so additive in taste and texture that after I had a piece of it, I cannot stop munching for more. Although it might not have those buttery taste like most commercial or homemade cookies but I can assured you that this is one of those healthier snacks that you can pack some in your bag for snack in between meal if you feel hungry.

After my food experience with their “Raisin Oatmeal Cookie” I decided to try out the other two flavour which I can’t find them in most supermarket as they are out of stock. But today, I managed to find them in one of the Cold Storage and here is the “Oatmeal Cookie with Honey & Nuts”. I am sure this will be a hot selling snack for both kids and adult because of its sweet and nutty flavour.

Lastly we have this “Oatmeal Cookie with Apple and Cinnamon Flavour” but don’t worry you can’t really taste any strong cinnamon scent. Instead it will leave you with some mild and sweet apple fragrant while eating it.

Overall out of the 3 types of oatmeal cookie, I still prefer my favourite “Oatmeal Cookie with Raisin” because it leaves me with more chewing and biting while eating it. For this review, 2 lucky readers would get a chance to sample a set of this Assorted Flavour Quaker Oats Oatmeal Cookie complimentary from “Cuisine Paradise”. So do read up the instructions below in order to participate for the giveaway.

Dear Readers,

I would like to share some of these yummy Quaker Oatmeal Cookie with those who is interested to sample them before getting it from the stores. I will be giving away 3 individual packets (one flavour each shown on the last photo above) to 2 lucky readers.

Soup Broth Asia @ Raffle City

Talking about Soup! I am a Soup craze especially Asian type of double-boiled soup. My soup interest came from my dad who used to boil soup for us almost everyday when he is around. Recently in Singapore, you can find more and more hawker/food center stalls selling “Steam Soup” or also known as double-boiled soup that comes in different combination of ingredients.

I am sure most of you have heard or even try those delicious western soups from “The Soup Spoon”. And for your information, Chef Anna Lim have concocted 12 different types of Asian Hearty Soup such as “Herbal Chicken (S$7.20)”, “Indonesian Chicken Opor Soup (S$7.20)”, “Hainanese Fish Maw Soup (S$10.20)”, “Kimchi with Beef and Beancurd Hotpot (S$8.60)”, "Salted Vegetable with Duck Soup (S$9.60)" and etc for soup lover to enjoy a pot of tasty comfortable soup at a affordable price.

Their Herbal chicken soup is very usual compared to those that we have tried from the local Chinese restaurant or soup stalls. Imagine spotting some deep-fried dumplings and fresh watercress in your herbal chicken soup? Does this sound interesting! I am sure there are a lot more interesting combination of ingredients and taste waiting for you to explore at their outlet.

This herbal chicken soup has a very mild herbal taste that suits those foreigner or even youngster whom cannot accept those strong Chinese herbal taste in their soup. But when compared to those traditional Chinese Herbal Chicken Soup, this one at Soup Broth Asia taste rather more like confinement soup which has that hint of ginger taste in it. Perhaps adding ginger is good to expel wind in the body as well as keep body warm during cooling year end weather.

Each pot of soup is served with a bowl of complimentary steam white rice. But to suit your personal preference you can always top-up extra S$1.00 to exchange the white rice with either fried rice with egg or fragrant yam rice. If not you can always get it as an extra bowl to go with your soup at S$2.00 each for a fuller meal.

For guys who have bigger appetise or those who wish to share the meal you can always get the "Set Meal" updgrade at S$3.80 or S$4.80. Each upgrade comes with either 2 or 3 side dishes each from the category below:-
Appetizer: Cold Tofu, Egg Sambal, Kimchi
Meat: Roast Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, Fried Fish Slices, Soya Sesame Chicken, Wasabi Prawns
Vegetable: Braised Beancurd, Stir Fried Baby Kailan, Chap Chye, Stir Fried Egg with Tomato

The Set Meal Upgrade also include a drink of your choice on either Hot Green Tea or cooling Ice-lemon Tea.

So do give this new fusion Asian soup a try if you love their western soup over at “The Soup Spoon”. This outlet is located in between “The Soup Spoon” and “The Handburger” (a review post HERE) at the basement 1 of Raffle City Shopping Mall. You can’t miss it with their friendly serving staffs wearing sweet pink T-Shirt greeting the customers outside the restaurant.

KFC Roasta Burger & Snackers Deal

A week ago, I was captured by a poster outside one of the KFC outlet at a nearby shopping mall. And while sharing with my online friends, I also heard good review on their newly launch Roasta Burger too. Here are two recommendation post that I have read from my twitter friends "Foodielicious" and "Amanda".

And since I cannot resists the temptation on what they have shared, I decided to drop by one of their outlet and grab a set too. The Roasta Burger comes in two different value meal set at:-
Roasta Promo Meal: S$5.90 (comes with Burger, regular pepsi and whipped potato)
Roasta Meal: S$6.80 (comes with Burger, regular pepsi, whipped potato and coleslaw)

This is the reason why I am so tempted to try the new KFC Roasta Burger!!!!! Isn't this look cute with its' oven design box.

After unwrapping the wrapper you will see the juicy grilled chicken fillet being sandwich in between the soft bun (oat bran dusted bun) together with lots of fresh crisp lettuce strips and tomato slices. And if you want to have a healthier choice, you can also ask for plain that is without any sauce added.

Although this Roasta Burger is not something very fantastic in taste but at least it can be another alternative choice for KFC chicken lover to swap between their usual Zinger or Shrooms Burger. Here is a KFC Roasta Burger TVC for your viewing... hope you won't drool after this......



If you just want to have some bites, perhaps you can try their Snackers Value Meals which comes in 3 different choices such as Winglets Snackers, Popcorn Chicken Snackers and Drumstick Snackers. On top of this great value snacks, you can also top up additional S$1.00 to have a regular drink to go with it.

As usual, my little one loves to have their Popcorn Chicken Snackers which comes with generous amount of crispy chicken bits and fries.
Snackers: S$2.95 per box

To end the meal, we each have our favourite KFC Bake Portuguese Egg Tart as dessert. These lovely egg tarts have being around in their menu since January this year. But it is only a month or two back before we get to try this yummy treats after reading some good feedback about it from facebook and etc.

The crust of the tarts are flaky like those puff pastry type which is quite different from the usual biscuit base that we used to eat. I love the smooth and silky egg custard that taste just nice with a hint of lovely fragrant that makes you crave for two or more. These tarts are available at most KFC outlets at the pricing shown below:
Individual: S$1.30 per piece
Box of 2: $2.60; Box of 6: S$7.50

There are more than 50 KFC outlets island wide in Singapore and most of the outlets served the main items on the menu such as the usual Spicy/Original Chicken, Burgers, AM Breakfast, Egg Tarts as well as the new KFC Roasta Burger. You can click HERE to locate the nearest outlet to you.

Chocolate Chiffon Cake with Multigrain & Mixed Fruits

I have almost forgotten this yummy chiffon cake that has being hiatus inside my half-drafted post section since late August till now. As regular readers of this blog, I am sure you knew we love anything that is made of chocolate. So for this chiffon cake I used some cocoa powder, mini chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks as main ingredients. And in order to enhance it’s outlook, I sprinkle generous amount of store bought Multigrain mixture and dried mixed fruit for that extra texture and colour.
