Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
It is only recently that I was introduced to MECO Eleverde oral irrigator. To be honest, I didn’t know that such a product existed, except when you get your teeth cleaned at the dentist. I was fascinated with these features as it helps to deep clean, improve gum health, bad breath and is beneficial for orthodontic care.
Are you looking for a way to keep your food as fresh as the day you bought it? Are you bulk buying and batch cooking? Then it is time to invest in a vacuum sealer to extend the shelf-life of your foods even longer!
Since school started, I have been doing bento lunches for my children as they prefer to have a packed lunch to avoid having to queue for food. Anyway, I am pleased to have received this Audew vacuum sealer for review just in time for all my batch cooking!

We always love to hosting games nights and it was at least a year ago since we last spent quality time with our dear friends! Some of you might know that we went into rented accommodation then moved to our new home about five months ago. We are pretty much settled in now and getting into a nice, regular routine. This is the start of week 5 and Mr K is getting into his secondary school routine and Ms C is preparing for her SATS. It was a tough two years since we decided to pack up and move to a different county for better schools.
If you are looking quick and healthier ways to cook your food, then steaming food is one of the best cooking methods of all. It helps to retain the nutritional value of food by conserving the fibre, colour, texture and flavour of vegetables. It also helps in preserving the water-soluble B & C vitamins, potassium, phosphorus and zinc.
Do remember that steaming is not just only for vegetables and fish! There are plenty of ways to cook a meal using steam! You can also steam a cake/cupcake, dim sum, chicken and many more! Do check out my recipes: steam rose bun, niao gao, rice cake, seabass, sponge cake.

Do you love coming home at the end of a hard day’s work to freshly vacuumed carpet/floor? Thanks to this stylish and affordable eufy RoboVac 11, it has made my ultimate dreams come true!
eufy is not new to the robot vacuum cleaner market. In fact, they launched their model in 2016. During these two years, this great looking and affordable robot vacuum cleaner has received plenty of great reviews and we are delighted to be reviewing it! I always wanted a robot vacuum cleaner after I saw my sister had one and love the idea of having the robot vacuum cleaner clean around the house when you are busy doing other things!

Shopping in store sometimes can be such a pain if they run out of stock for what you were after. People are increasingly doing more shopping online and choose to get it delivered to their doorstep.

This Panasonic Slow Juicer allows you to have both fresh juice and frozen treats! I love the dual functionality. It comes with a food pusher, lid, squeezing screw, filter, rotating brush, juicing bowl, frozen attachment, motor housing, juice container, pulp container, cleaning brush and instructions. Assembling all the parts together is straightforward. There are arrows marked on the parts to show you which directions to insert it in. However, the squeezing screw is not easy to remove from the unit and I have to wiggle it slightly to loosen it.
