Last week, we took an early flight via Birmingham Airport and departed for Rome. The airport staff are always great with people with disabilities or travelling with young families. We were grateful that we were fast-tracked through most of the queues and went straight to security. At the gate, I do hate it when we have to take the shuttle bus to board the plane. It always takes so long to get everyone onboard and getting a visually impaired child up those metal stairs in bright light with loud engines running is not easy.
How Hot Sauce Innovation is Spicing Up the Market
“Hot sauce” are two words we’ve heard repeatedly. A good bottle of hot sauce is the perfect addition to food for those who get a kick out of spicy delights. The condiment dates back to the forgotten era when we only knew of Tabasco Sauce.
We went to South Korea
After five long years of not having a family holiday, we finally packed and headed off to South Korea for eight days. It has always been my dream place to visit because I love watching K-dramas and wanted to experience their life there.
Branded or Non-Branded Game Format
After hosting my first game – How posh are you, my friends asked me to host another game as they were very keen to play. So this time round, I decided to rename it to the Branded or Non-Branded game.
Sichuanese Wontons in Chilli Oil Sauce with SousChef
Of all varieties of dumplings, wontons are the easiest to make. There is not much folding or pleating required. You simply fold them in half and seal it with just water. It is also very easy to cook in minutes as you don’t need to stuff too much filling in it. There are many ways to cook and garnish the dumplings. You can boil them and add sweet soya sauce, or deep fry them and dip with mayonnaise, or steam and mix with chilli. Either way, they taste great!
Shopping at Jack’s Supermarket
Two years ago, Tesco unveiled its discount chain Jack’s supermarket, which was named after Tesco’s founder Jack Cohen, with 12 stores across the country. The brand are passionate about working with and supporting hundreds of regional farmers, growers and producers in Britain. That is why, 100% of their fresh chicken, fresh lamb and fresh beef are British all year round and 100% of their fresh milk is British too.
Back to School with Marks and Spencer
This summer, M&S is helping us to get ready for the back to school adventure! Did you know that M&S has been helping parents get their children ready for back to school for over a century?
This year, they are campaigning ‘Decades at School’ and will be showcasing a timeline of its school archives, focusing on how getting kids ready for back to school has changed over the years – from uniforms to packed lunches. Discover how family’s back to school journey has changed from yours to your children.
How did your back to school experience compare to your children? For mine, it was totally different to my children. I was born and raised in Singapore. Our primary and secondary schools have very strict rules on books and each school had their own individual school uniform. These rules restricted us to buy the books and uniforms from specific places or we would also get hand-me-downs from older siblings.
The Different Types of Cuts of Beef
I have been a meat eater since very young. As we were growing up, I recall if my dad ever wanted to treat us to some nice meat, it would mean getting a nice beef sirloin steak from the butchers. I just accepted the fact that it was the best cut of meat but I was really none the wiser about any other cuts. Looking back, I recall with fondness how my overprotective parents would cook our beef steaks ‘super well done’. Any chance of it being a juicy succulent tender steak was surely frittered away!
