The Official Launch of Joyoung Soymilk Maker

About 2 weeks ago I was invited to attend an official media launch for Joyoung Soymilk Maker (九阳豆浆机), the No.1 Soymilk Maker in the World which sells about 13 million sets per year. This easy to use soymilk maker is remarkable with only 2 simple steps such as add in soy beans and water, select the function and homemade soymilk will be ready in just 25 minutes. For your cleaning convenience, the soy milk maker also comes with an easy-wash function too.

As you can see from the above, Joyoung Soymilk Maker comes with a stunning, elegant design and its inner jug and grinder is also made stainless steel. And with the ultra fine technology, Joyoung Soymilk Maker breaks each soybean down into bits and particles which make it more nutrients and richer in taste and fragrance.

Above shows the two models; DJ13C-D08D(S) (S$268.00) on the left and DJ12C-A11D(S) (S$218.00) on the right which are available in Singapore retailing at Audio House, Best Denki, Gain City, Harvey Norman, Isetan, Mustafa, NTUC X-tra and etc. And with these two newer models of Joyoung Soymilk Maker – DJ13C-D08D(S) and DJ12C-A11D(S) it also boast new technologies that allow you to choose your own preference such as smoother, healthier or thicker soy milk.

Walnut Paste:- Although it is a bit dilute compared to the normal walnut paste dessert, but it still taste good and easy to prepare at home.

Look at the texture of the above Cantonese Style Chicken Porridge, can you believe it is cook using Joyoung soymilk maker? The texture is incredibly smooth and silky which makes a great baby and old folks food.

If you like western-style of Cream Soup, Joyoung soymilk maker can also complete your request in less than 30 minutes.

Base on chef Anna demo, making Strawberry Jam is such a breeze by using Joyoung soymilk maker.

Close to "Lao Ban Beancurd" texture and taste but Chef Anna used Horlic (malt) instead of creamer to enhance the taste.

Pandan Chiffon Cake


This is rather my "first post" on making a proper Pandan Chiffon Cake using tube pan (similar to an angel food cake pan) method rather than the previous two (recipes) I made using Happy Call Pan (HCP). Although the recipe is quiet similar but for this round I replaced the usual pandan paste /pandan juice with pandan flavour coconut milk (obtain by blending some fresh pandan leave and coconut milk together) which I have some leftover while making Pandan Kaya (recipe).

Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS) Food Trail 2012 - Singapore Night Safari

For the last part of our "Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS) Food Trail 2012", we get to go for a kitchen tour on behind-scenes of the Ulu Ulu Restaurant with Chef Low as well a special dinner spread prepared by him and his team.

For your information, Chef Low is the man behind Wildlife Reserves Singapore’s unique dining as well as the culinary maestro behind award-winning dining experiences that include Jungle Breakfast with Wildlife at Singapore Zoo, Lunch with Parrots at Jurong Bird Park and Gourmet Safari Express at Night Safari.

After an interesting Lunch with Parrot and some exciting and birds shows, we were back at the Singapore Night Safari for our evening programme.   

Awaiting for us is Chef Kelvin Low who is professionally trained at Le Cordon Bleu and he has whipped up exquisite fare for local and international dignitaries, celebrities and royalty. These include Singapore's former president S.R. Nathan, Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, former foreign minister George Yeo, magician David Copperfield and even the Prince of Wales.

Different Food Stations in the Ulu Ulu Restaurant Kitchen.

Chef Low explaining to us about their new Pastry Kitchen where pastry chefs made their cakes and desserts.

For hygiene purpose they have a separated room for handing raw meat.



Some of the prepared the dishes that are ready to be served

Upon entering the dining area, most of us was shock and excited to see the beautiful arrangement and set up for that night's theme. Really appropriated their thoughts and warm hospitality. 

Our Menu For The Night

Surprised to see this olden days serving mug when our beverages arrived.

For starter we had Ulu Ulu Chicken Satay which was so delicious that everyone gave their positive feedback on both the satay and their peanut sauce. Most of us even finished the whole cup of peanuts sauce and asking for more top up. 

Next we had BBQ Chicken Wing which are quite similar to those sold at the BBQ stalls in hawker center. The wings are well glazed and tasty which makes it goes well with the spicy in-house made chilli sauce.

Trio Meat Platter Chicken Rice served with 3 different kinds of Chicken such as Roasted, Soy Sauce and Steamed. Personally I felt the texture and taste of the chicken could have being better.

Other than the impressive Ulu Ulu Chicken Satay that we loved, this is another recommending dish to try if you are craving for some Indian cuisine. The Naan bread is good, not very oil bu yet crispy and tasty when dip with the mint sauce. Even though the fish fillet might look dry but actually it was juicy and full of flavour from the spices used.

Although I am not a crab lover (because I find it trouble and messy to eat the crab meat from the shell) but I love to sink those deep-fried mantou (bun) into the gravy. Overall the Ulu Ulu Chili Crab was a bit salty to my liking but with the accompanied fried bun this dish is still score above average.

To end the dinner, we each had a glass of Sea Coconut with Glass Jelly which was prefer for that warm evening.

After our hearty dinner we decided to go for a short walk at the newly launched Wallaby Trail but unfortunately it started to rain heavily before we reached the destination. Despite being stranded we still having fun running in the raining and I am sure this WRS Food Trail programmes would marked a wonderful memories in our life.
