Family first? Have you think of you family?

Good evening to dear readers and followers. It's been a busy week indeed, busy lifestyle for me as my boys are school morning class for the youngest and Sean is schooling on afternoon class. That's not all, their tuition timing also different, so busy that I am alone handling both of them.

There's a lot to consider when you want to start a business. Recently some friends seek for my advice whether they should start the business or not. It's important to know whether there's capital for the business or not. Not just that also to look back on the previous business done whether it's been failing or making money. So many aspects that we need to look into also the family too.

Though we says that never give up on any failure. There's failure only there's success however if it's long term of failing, don't you think it's better to let it go. Not everyone is capable of being a business owner. Because of continuous of failing, and there's debt. You wouldn't want to burden your family.

Though I am not the best advisor, I know starting a business it not easy. There's need of cash flow to support the business. For example you are opening up a restaurant, you need to pay for the rent, renovation, staffs, utilities bills. If you have the cash flow that enough to support for the next six months or even longer perhaps you can come up with the proposal just in case you need a bank loan? Just saying...

This is just my personal opinion.

Ayamas Kitchen with variety HALAL FROZEN DIM SUM

Ayamas Kitchen with variety HALAL FROZEN DIM SUM

 Being mom of two boys, I always need to think of what to eat, what to prepare for family. Now there's Ayamas Kitchen with variety of Halal Frozen Dim Sum to choose from. Easy for parents to prepare them and best of all you can have it at your cozy home.

QSR Trading Sdn Bhd (QSRT) throught its shelf brand 'Ayamas Kitchen', has recently launched a range of delicious halal frozen Dim Sum varieties to cater to Chinese food lovers.

 The company offers 10 varieties of Dim Sum, and the varieties is available in the market include Ayamas Kitchen Prawn Hargow, Chicken & Prawn Shaomai, Shrimp Dumpling, Chicken Glutinous Rice with Lotus Leaf, and an Ayamas Kichen Combo Pack Dim Sum. Other varieties to be later introduced include Curry Chicken Shaomai, Radish Cake with Dried Shrimp, Barbeque chicken Bun, Chicken & Fish Beancurd Roll, and Prawn Shaomai.

(Middle from left; Adi Wira Abd Razak, Chief Executive Officer, and  Rafiq Moosa, Chief Operating Officer, QSR Brands (M) Holdings Bhd Upstream Division posed with the steaming Ayamas Kitchen Dim Sum.

“The frozen dim sum offers convenience to all who wants to enjoy the specialty, even when they are too busy to prepare it in the conventional way. It appears that apart from five-star hotels, not many restaurants serve halal dim sum. The Ayamas Kitchen’s halal version will now allow Muslims to enjoy the dish in the convenience of their own home,” said Adi Wira Abd Razak, Chief Executive Officer, QSR Brands Upstream Division.

“Our products are made from fresh ingredients, packed with quality materials, using the latest technology and equipment so that our customers can be sure that they are 100% safe for consumption. The products are certified halal by Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS), a JAKIM approved certification body.

“The Ayamas Kitchen’s Dim Sum range is easy to prepare through various cooking methods. The dim sum can be steamed, boiled, fried or microwaved, before the food is ready to be enjoyed. However, for the best eating experience, I would recommend it to be steamed the traditional way. The Dim Sum goes well with our Ayamas’ Chili Sauce and Life’s Hoisin Sauce,” he added.

As mentioned earlier, five of the ten varieties which are now available at Giant supermarkets nationwide, are the Ayamas Kitchen Prawn Hargow (160g) sold at RM13.39 per packet, Ayamas Kitchen Chicken & Prawn Shaomai (160g) at RM10.59 per packet, Ayamas Kitchen Shrimp Dumpling (144g) at RM11.29 per packet, Ayamas Kitchen Chicken Glutinous Rice with Lotus Leaf (270g) at RM11.99 per packet, and Ayamas Kitchen Combo Pack Dim Sum (160g) at RM12.79 per packet.

Ayamas Kitchen is one of QSRT’s shelf brands that have been around for two years. Besides the frozen Dim sum, it also produces other kitchen staples such as canned sardines & mackerels, cooking pastes, spices & seasoning mix, as well as ready-to-eat products. QSRT is also the distributor of the frozen chicken-based products under the name “Ayamas” namely the Golden Nuggets, Breaded Chicken Drummets and Mid Wings, Crispy Fried Chicken, Chicken Meatballs, Quikburger and Premium Chicken Frankfurters.

Swiss Garden Hotel Malacca

Master bedroom, so big and comfy!

It's Friday night, do you have plans for this weekend? If you have been following my instagram/Facebook you know of my plan for tomorrow Saturday.

This is a #throwback on #familyvacation to Malacca, we haven't been to Malacca for many years.
We find Tourism Malaysia is best to visit as we miss Malacca so much, it was time to bring my parents for vacation.

#spacious #SwissGardenHotelMalacca, look at the bath tub behind the glass!

My kids dream comes true as they wanted to have bath tub in the hotel. This room is like an apartment, it has big living room that comes with a sofa bed, you can scroll down to view.

This is second room that can with two single beds. There is a toilet outside the room to share with the study room.

This is how the toilet looks like. 

A single bed in the room.

The light in room is quite dim, so there's the table. There's also table in master bed room.

Wow looks what all you need is on this desk!

Coffee making facilities that we all need. 

Haha.. my dear is trying to figure out how to put this sofa change into sofa bed.

Basically, you need to pull out the cushion and it becomes a sofa bed.

This was the first night, my son enjoys sleeping in the living room.

But not for his dad, he was in and out of room to check on him.

Look there's microwave and fridge in the room.

We went to nearby restaurant for dinner on the first night. Then we walked back to hotel.

The night my dear spotted this small crab along the walk on the bridge.

The bridge is very old, so need to be very careful when walking on it. 

Some of the woods on the floor are broken or the handle of the side bride with big hole at bottom.

Do watch out your kids if you are bringing them for a walk outside.

This is very near to the river cruise Melaka, but we fail to get on any cruise as it was raining at night.

By the time we reached the counted we were told that we need to wait an hour or so for the next cruise.

Beautiful view outside the Swiss Garden Hotel. With a water fountain as you can see.

Next morning after buffet breakfast we head to swimming pool

There have adults and kids swimming pool.

Well, you know with kids sure we need to stay with them. 

But beware next to this kids swimming is an adult pool next to it.

Scroll down and you'll see it, nice to have bubble time.

Nice kids swimming pool, that everyone cannot have enough of it.

My sons nonstop playing sliding down.

Below is where I mention the adult swimming pool, there's one more outside that you can do laps if you are very good in swimming.

So how many swimming pool in total?

There are 3 swimming pool. 

We all have fun and enjoy our stay at the hotel. We stayed at 29th Floor at Swiss Garden Hotel. The swimming pool is located at 9th Floor, if you are on way up to your room you can check out the swimming pool. There's gym area too, just above the swimming pool.

We pay our own to go this hotel, since we stayed there. I just want to share with you some photos and experienced we have.

PNKids, Gummies infused with Vitamins and Mineral

Few days ago I attended the PNKids Malaysia Grand Launching Ceremony which was held at Ground Floor, Centre Court, (in front of AEON 1 Utama Shopping Centre). Today is the last day of promo price and exciting activities for children available at the roadshow.

Being mommy of two boys, I know my children are active and playful. My 4 yrs old son would be the one with most energy to move around, that's why I need to always keep an eye on him. I am also always worry of my children's education, emotional and physical well-being.

Do you know that the food that we are consuming these days are loaded with trans-fats, bad oil, excessive sugar and salt? I got to admit that due to convenience, we tend to eat and feed our kids with the wrong and unhealthy foods. Food intolerance like gluten, dairy, and eggs. These children need calcium. Children who are on vegetarian diet, as they are lacking in iron.

For children who are having conditions like asthma or digestive problems especially if they are on medications, do check with their doctors first.

My sons are picky eaters, both of them dislike vegetables and they are lacking in iron. Some of my friends are having children that are not eating enough. Children who are eating too much fast foods, convenience foods and processed foods.

We need to introduce foods that are healthy to them, now there's a way to do so by providing them additional nutritional support that is infused with vitamins and minerals to them.
