Ayam Brand Healthy KIDS Food Festival 2018 (Sarawak)

Posted on November 10, 2018November 10, 2018 By sweet surrender No Comments on Ayam Brand Healthy KIDS Food Festival 2018 (Sarawak)

How well do you know your food? What is healthy? What is not?

I’m sure Ayam Brand is no stranger to all of you. I was at the Ayam Brand Healthy KIDS Food Festival 2018 to witness how the young ones learn about healthy diet by learning about their food and making their own food. This is the 11th year of Ayam Brand Community Care Campaign. Approximately 20,000 people from 482 charity organizations had benefited from it with 1,404,000 healthy and convenient meals served.


Four charity homes attended. Salvation Army Boy’s Home, Rumah Kanak-Kanak Toh Puan Hjh Norkiah Kuching, and PIBAKAT received 2 months’ supply of Ayam Brand products.

There were 4 activities for the kids to participate.

Left: ‘Yay or Nay’ was to let them know what is good and bad food.
Right: ‘Crossword’ allowed the kids to learn about the benefits of Omega 3 and DHA by looking for the words in the puzzle.


‘Healthy Plate’ required the children to works as a team to determine the quantity of different food groups in a balanced diet.


The DIY booth let the children made their own nasi lemak with Ayam Brand Light Chili Tuna as sambal for the the dish. They will then overturn the cup onto the plate to make a nasi lemak pyramid. They would get points for their team if the nasi lemak did not crumble after a period of time set by the organizer.


Those waiting for their turn was given with colour pencils to colour.

It was a fruitful afternoon for the children. Hope that they will go back with extra knowledge and be able to make good choices on their food after these activities.

Bidayuh Traditional Necklace (Pangiah) Workshop – WAK 2018

Posted on October 15, 2018October 16, 2018 By sweet surrender No Comments on Bidayuh Traditional Necklace (Pangiah) Workshop – WAK 2018

Was so excited that I managed to sign up for Bidayuh Traditional Necklace (Pangiah) Workshop organized by Pungu’ Borneo in conjunction with What About Kuching 2018. I’m always curious on how these traditional necklaces are made. In fact, I ever dream of making my own jewelry/accessories for sell hehehe… However, never get into doing it. This is my first time making a proper beaded necklace.


The class was 10am to 5pm at Pullman. Our instructor was Lucille from Pangieh Ranee. Very talented and creative lady. It’s not easy to do all these things, it requires high passion and patience.

Even though I’m half-Bidayuh, I do not know much about the tradition and culture of the Bidayuh community because my mom’s kampung doesn’t practice the customs as it’s a Seventh Day Adventist village.


Let me share a little bit about Pangiah with you…

This necklace is from Bidayuh Jagoi community in Bau area in Sarawak. The functions is for healing, ceremonial, and harvest offering. It’s a ‘spiritual’ and sacred necklace worn by a priestess or a woman healer. It has the power to gather spirit that would provide guidance and help to grant their wielders request. It is not common to be worn by common Bidayuh folks.

The charms are believed to be able to protect the priestess from harm while performing a spiritual ceremony. Ok… The ones in the photos are just ornamental. Actual charms can be from wild boar tusk, bear claws, brass bells, brass coils, ancient coins, rikis tolam(transparent green-blue beads) or rikis biru(big sized melon beads). These will be given by the ‘patient’ who would like to engage the service of the priestess as a prosih(gift).

The key components of a pangiah consist of:
1. Beads
2. Charms
3. Spacer
4. Brass coil
5. 2 old coins, for each side of the pangiah
6. Main colours are red, black, and white. It can also have mixture of colourful beads. It is usually very colourful and can be easily notice from afar.

These days, it’s being used as fashion statement. There will be no charms on them, even if there are, it’s mostly ornamental. The one we’re learning was the traditional ones.


The strands are made up of odd numbers(9/11/13) for pangiah. The motives and designs represent the nature such as bird’s eye and mountain/hill.


Here’s mine… I experimented with Boton Manuk Puni(diamond shape with small dot in the middle represents the bird’s eye). All eyes on you! Don’t play play! πŸ˜›


Left: Lucile was very passionate in teaching us how to do the necklace.

Right: It’s one hard work! Don’t complain that these things are expensive, it’s not! It’s very labour extensive! I had body ache working on it for 6 1/2 hour! *LOL* Oh man… Worst than going hiking in Bako hahaha!! See the necklace I did? Hahaha… Well… I was too eager to want to get it done, I’ve forgotten about counting the beads for the curve. Oppss… I didn’t finish my necklace because I was too ambitious, curiously testing out the patterns, and making a long one *LOL* The one in the photo is unfinished. So… I am going to remove the curve and one side of necklace to redo it one of these days.


It’s an interesting class, great for beginners. We called it a day with a group photo with Lucille (5th right). I really enjoyed it. Thanks to Pungu’ Borneo for organizing it.

A series of events are going on around Kuching this October in conjunction with What About Kuching 2018. Check it out at AboutKuching.com and see what other bloggers are doing at the various events at SarawakBloggers.com.

Food Safari @ Padungan – WAK 2018

Posted on September 29, 2018October 6, 2018 By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Food Safari @ Padungan – WAK 2018

Padungan is no stranger to people in Kuching. The famous Great White Cat statue is located in this area.


When I found out that there will be Food Safari going on at this place, I was so excited! Decided to check it out just now. Lo and behold! Surprised! Hahaha… I was a bit disappointed. It’s business as usual… Hmm… Where is Food Safari?!?!


Apparently, it’s a one-month campaign starting from 29 September to 28 October 2018. A campaign for you to try out the food that this old street has to offer. No food fair thingy… Silly me… Sorry to disappoint you hahaha… It’s great for locals and visitors to learn and discover the food and beverage scene in this area.


No food fair but still a good thing, you have one month to discover all the F&B in Padungan and be rewarded for it. If you live or work nearby or you’ve been eating at these places, you are rewarded for it. Still many places I’ve not try yet.

All you need to do is just grab the passport from any participating shop and start your journey to discover what Padungan has to offer. I collected mine from Meritin Hotel since I happened to park my car there. It’s also an excuse to step into the latest 3-star hotel in Kuching. Curious you know… As someone who worked in a hotel before(just two-year stint :P), I’m curious to see how other hotels are doing. Well… Hahaha… I just grab and go, didn’t really do much. Staffs were pretty attentive and friendly though.


Had my chap fun lunch at Country Kitchen and received my first stamp in the passport. Very simple, very easy. Collect at least 20 stamps to redeem some goodies from Meritin Hotel or Batik Boutique Hotel at Padungan. Collect another 20 to redeem again. You can check out Meritin Hotel’s FB(@meritinhotelkuching) page for more details.


There are 60 vendors in Padungan participating in this campaign. I’ve share fun facts of Padungan in my Instagram(@lovebellbelle) and FB page(@lovebellbelle), do check it out.

Till then… Have fun exploring Padungan F&B scene.

Nando’s Celebrates 20 Years of PERi-PERi Perfection!

Posted on June 13, 2018June 13, 2018 By sweet surrender No Comments on Nando’s Celebrates 20 Years of PERi-PERi Perfection!

How time flies?!? Nando’s is in Malaysia for 20 years! It was a pleasure to be invited to celebrate their 20th anniversary at their AEON Kuching Central establishment.


You ever wonder how your Nando’s favourite sauce is made? We were given opportunity to make our own. It was fun! It’s very simple, all you need is PERi-PERi chilies, onion, oil, herbs, fresh lemons, and garlic. I made mine and it was soooooooo spicy! Try to make it at home, it’s not hard at all. No measurements of the ingredients, just adjust to your own liking.


Happy birthday, Nando’s.


How can you not eat the chicken when you’re at Nando’s? The chickens are marinated in the sauce for 24-hours and then basted with your choice of heat level ranging from lemon & herb to the fiery Extra Hot.

Do download Nando’s mobile application if you like to go to Nando’s. You will get to enjoy the rewards such as redeeming a free quarter chicken or whole chicken once you’ve collected nine chillies.

Hope you enjoy your flamed-grilled chicken.

Blogging since 2002. Anything before 2006 is no longer available. It is no longer on this server. Back then, I built my own blog and updated it using HTML. No database or anything. Only started blogging fully with a CMS in 2006. However, whatever was on the Internet will stay on the Internet. So... It should be still somewhere on the Internet. Then again... Why do you want to dig that far?
