Enjoy Durians without worrying about the lingering pungent smell with the new Listerine Pocket Mist

Durian season is back again, and it is time for durian lovers to indulge in the delectable taste of the King of Fruits! While irresistible, durians have a very distinct flavour and pungent smell, lingering on our breath even hours after consumption. 

With Listerine’s clinically proven formulation that effectively kills up to 99.9% of germs that cause bad breaths, plague, and gum problems, you can now confidently enjoy durians without worrying about “durian breath”.  

 

Apart from durians, many other delicious Malaysian dishes also boast strong flavours (like stink beans and so on) and taste due to its aromatic ingredients and spices, which can make one feel self-conscious after a meal. 

Fortunately, there is an effective way to keep your breath fresh – Listerine® mouthwash is here to the rescue! Beat the post-durian and after-meal breath by gargling with Listerine® for 30 seconds to kill any bacteria present in the mouth that causes those unsavoury odours. Not only is your breath fresher; it actually helps with your complete oral care too!

 

Did you know? Brushing alone is not enough to remove pungent smells, as it only cleanses 25% of the mouth*. With brushing, it is easy to miss the spaces between the teeth, as well as the areas below the gum line. This creates a breeding ground for bad breath-causing bacteria, which often pools on the tongue and walls of the cheeks. That is why a mouthwash is effective for 24-hour protection** against germs that can cause plaque and gum problems.

 

Stephen Tiu, General Manager of Johnson & Johnson Consumer Health Malaysia & Singapore, acknowledged that with the strong, aromatic flavours of Malaysian food, the importance of keeping our breath minty-fresh and maintaining oral hygiene is crucial. “We recognize that good oral care and hygiene is so important. It’s assuring to have an effective solution like Listerine for clean, fresh breath that allows us to confidently enjoy our food, without compromising on our oral health.”

 

With a wide selection of Listerine® products available, maintaining a complete oral care routine becomes easier. From limited-edition flavours like Pomelo & Passionfruit, to targeted benefits like Tartar Control and Healthy White, Listerine® makes sure that consumers’ various oral care needs are catered to. For individuals who prefer a milder taste with less burning sensation, Listerine® also offers a less intense version with zero alcohol. In addition, Listerine® Pocket Mist is made for those who are always on the go and need to freshen up instantly: the conveniently-sized oral spray kills 99% of germs that cause bad breath!

Maintain your complete oral care routine easily: simply swish your mouth with Listerine® twice a day (day and night) for 30 seconds to rid off 99% of germs that cause bad breath, plaque and gum problems.

With a nostalgic aroma, rich taste and texture, the Laksa is definitely one of the icons of Malaysian cooking tradition. In celebration to us Malaysians’ love for Laksa, MAGGI® is paying tribute to the heritage of this Malaysian classic dish by unveiling the brand-new MAGGI® Mi Goreng Laksa Warisan with its authentic taste and distinctive aroma.  

   

Launched at the vintage-themed mansion, The Agam in Kuala Lumpur, Mr. Juan Aranols, CEO of Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad said “As a brand that has over 50-year history and a meaningful space in the hearts of Malaysians, MAGGI®

continues to proudly celebrate our heritage in all our offerings. Today, we are delighted to be part of the celebration of Malaysia’s vibrant Laksa dishes as we present our latest product innovation that pays homage to our nation's diverse and distinctive culinary heritage: our all-new MAGGI® Mi Goreng Laksa Warisan.”   

 

Two well-known Malaysian food personalities - 

Celebrity Chef, Anis Nabilah and Professor Dr. Shahrim Karim, Professor of Malaysia Heritage Food and Culture at the Faculty of Food Science and Technology in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) were present at the launch event who showcased their culinary arts and expertise in preparing a delicious Laksa dish whilst sharing its rich history and evolution. 

 

Tracing its origins, Laksa is a dish deeply rooted in the Peranakan community, inspired by the heritage of the Chinese, Malaysian and Indonesian cultures within Southeast Asia. 

Professor Dr. Shahrim Karim shared that Laksa is truly Malaysia’s iconic dish that transcends cultures and regions – evolving into many variations that we know of and enjoy today – from the most common Curry Laksa to more innovative offerings such as the Assam Laksa, Sarawak Laksa, Nyonya Laksa and the Johor Laksa. “The soul of Laksa lies in its vibrant and aromatic flavours. A good Laksa is all about the balancing act between various ingredients with the constant stirring towards the ‘pecah minyak’ stage, which is vital for the perfect Laksa flavour that culminates in a true culinary delight,” he added.

 

Consumers are continually seeking new ways of enjoying this popular dish with family and friends, with the rising trend of preparing Laksa the “Goreng” way. Taking inspiration from this trend, the All-New MAGGI® Mi Goreng Laksa Warisan is a creative twist to Malaysian Laksa tradition.

Thanks to our MAGGI® Chefs’ continued dedication and culinary expertise, we have given a modern-day twist to Laksa as we introduce our latest innovationMAGGI® Mi Goreng Laksa Warisan. 

Indeed, the secret of making a good Laksa lies at its base. Hence, the new creation is carefully crafted with a blend of key aromatic ingredients, bunga kantan, daun kesum, galangal, along with fresh ingredients: onions, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, garlic and ginger, slowly cooked into a paste until ‘pecah minyak’ to deliver the distinctive flavour of the iconic Laksa dish whilst preserving its authentic recipe. 

We are embracing this heritage dish, by making it possible to enjoy a great tasting Laksa Goreng – anytime, anywhere!”

 

In line with the MAGGI ® promise to help Malaysians Cook the Difference, MAGGI® continues to deliver high quality food choices for consumers who are seeking an easy-to prepare, great tasting meal. The MAGGI® Mi Goreng Laksa Warisan noodles are made with 100% Australian wheat, which is a good source of protein and carbohydrates.

U.S. Potatoes - the ideal food for World Nutrition Day!!!

World Nutrition Day is celebrated on May 28!!! And well, one of my favorite staples would be U.S. Potatoes … 

This is because U.S. Potatoes are full of nutrients and health benefits. Did you know U.S. Potatoes is a nutritious food ingredient to incorporate into making wholesome recipes for WND or anytime of the year. 

U.S. Potatoes contain important nutrients, even when cooked, that can contribute to a healthful lifestyle, including improving bone health, maintain heart health, and reducing the risk of infection.

The iron, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium and zinc in potatoes all help the body to build and maintain bone structure and strength.

Iron and zinc play crucial roles in the production and maturation of collagen

A plain U.S. Potato itself is relatively low in calories. It provides our body with important nutrients, such as vitamin C, vitamin B6, and various minerals.

A 100-gram (g) serving is a little more than half of a medium size potato. This potato, baked with skin, contains :* 94 calories* 0.15 grams of fat* 0 grams of cholesterol* 21.08 grams of carbohydrate* 2.1 grams of dietary fiber* 2.10 grams of protein* 10 milligrams (mg) of calcium* 0.64 mg of iron* 27 mg of magnesium* 75 mg of phosphorus* 544 mg of potassium* 12.6 mg of vitamin C* 0.211 mg of vitamin B6* 38 micrograms (mcg) of folate

Potatoes also provide niacin, choline, and zinc. Different varieties provide slightly different nutrients.

Potatoes contain vitamin C, which acts as an antioxidant. Antioxidants may help prevent cell damage and cancer and promote healthy digestion and cardiovascular functions.

Potatoes contain significant amounts of fiber. Fiber helps lower the total amount of cholesterol in the blood, thereby decreasing the risk of heart problems.

Daia Hijab All Day Freshness for fresh clothing and hijabs all day long!!!!

Surrounded by friends who wear hijab, many of them complain of a stale and slightly unpleasant smell somewhat of sweat and damp clothing. This is because the hijab traps sweat and heat, and living in a humid country such as Malaysia results in this unpleasant smell. 

And with the current heatwave that has swept across Malaysia, leading to copious amounts of perspiration among men, women, and children alike… heaven knows how many times we encounter this unpleasant smell in public areas…

Anyway, there is now hope and great news considering that Daia has launched their Daia Hijab All Day Freshness groundbreaking detergent formulated especifically for hijab users.

Daia has always been one of my favorite detergent being budget-friendly and super lovely scent that lingers on your laundry…. 

However, the new Daia Hijab All Day Freshness detergent stands out from all the other Daia variants. The “handsome” (as quoted from Lisa Surihani) fragrance of this range, with a hint of the regular Daia signature scent but with an extra kick is definitely intriguing…

This is because Daia Hijab All Day Freshness contains an advanced formulation designed to combat sweat-induced odours with unparalleled efficacy. This innovative formula not only eliminates all types of odours during the wash but also neutralizes them while you wear your clothes. Thanks to this remarkable detergent, we can all now enjoy a refreshing sensation that lasts throughout the day, with clean clothes adorned in an enduring fragrance.

The Daia Smart Ion Technology and Sweat Odour Control featured in this detergent claims to eradicate 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria during the wash, as well as stubborn stains, and ensure clothes stay fresh all day long. Both the powdered and liquid versions of this new detergent can be employed not only for hijabs of all materials but also for garments, beddings, pillowcases, and more.

At the launch at Alamanda Shopping Centre in Putrajaya, we members of the media and some invited guests had the great opportunity of meeting the charming Lisa Surihani, Daia’s esteemed Brand Ambassador. 

Sharing her personal experiences and insights regarding Daia’s product range, she even reminisced about the classic Daia jingle from her school days and how becoming Daia’s ambassador proved to be an excellent decision for her.

Lisa expressed her joy in discovering that the new Daia Hijab All Day Freshness can be used not just for hijabs but for the entire family’s laundry needs, making it a versatile and practical choice. As consumers, she emphasized that we need not look any further, as Daia’s reputation and track record speak for themselves when it comes to selecting a detergent, especially one as fragrant as Daia Hijab All Day Freshness.

Last year’s Run was an eye opener for us when MAEPS was turned into a SEA of GUARDIAN ORANGE T-Shirts with runners of all ages.“

We learnt how exercising, and running especially was so popular, not only with serious runners but also with families who want to be healthy and this popularity cuts across all generations.

“The Guardian Fun Run last year was special because it encouraged families to come and run including many children, mothers, and fathers and even grandparents. The sight of them running together to keep healthy makes us even more proud about holding this event and this is why we are holding it again this year.“
