JAPAN’S ICONIC BALMUDA ARRIVES IN MALAYSIA

Ms Lim and BALMUDA's management team launching the new toaster and pot

New Celebrated Toaster Oven & Electric Kettle Set To Revolutionise Malaysians’ Culinary Experiences

Selangor, November 28, 2023 – Japan’s iconic and award-winning BALMUDA has launched its two revolutionary kitchen appliances at a media event today – BALMUDA The Toaster and BALMUDA The Pot – set to redefine Malaysians’ culinary experiences.

The new BALMUDA The Toaster and BALMUDA The Pot

Founded in Tokyo in 2003 by Gen Terao, BALMUDA has built a strong reputation as the iconic maker of innovative dream appliances, having sold almost 2 million toasters in six regions globally since it made its debut in 2015. BALMUDA’s ethos is to design home appliances that will deliver a thrilling and wonderful experience to its users. This combined with science and engineering; BALMUDA appliances offer unprecedented value to its users and BALMUDA The Toaster and BALMUDA The Pot are a true testament of innovative functionality at its best.

BALMUDA The Toaster offers a cutting-edge “steam technology” and precise temperature control to transform ordinary and overnight breads and pastries into fresh and perfect bakes! This amazing toaster has made the word “REBAKE” an everyday word in Japan and is best known as the “#the toaster that brings dead bread back to life” in South Korea.

Simply pour five cc of water in as a prelude to your REBAKE task. Heating more rapidly than air, the steam locks in the bread’s inner moisture before the surface is given a golden brown finish. The process draws out the delicious aroma and flavour unlike any other. This is complemented by a second-by-second control of three-temperature zones which create superb contrasts in flavour and texture – giving you crispy texture on the outside but still being moist and fluffy on the inside.

There are 4 distinct steam-driven modes designed to create the perfect confectionery offering of any genre, ranging from Western fares such as toast, croissant, pizza, sourdough to local delights like curry puff and roti canai. All these are made possible with the multi-faceted modes in “Toast”, “Cheese Toast”, “Baguette”, “Croissant” –  ensuring the best results for your REBAKE adventures. BALMUDA The Toaster also has a Classic mode which is heat- regulated to reach the desired temperature (170°C, 200 °C and 250°C) without the use of steam. The Classic mode is recommended for dishes such as gratin, cookies, even salmon and vegetables!

BALMUDA The Pot boasts of a pioneering precision pouring with its gooseneck feature, water temperature mastery and extraction techniques to brewing an exquisite and aromatic cuppa. BALMUDA The Pot sports a beautiful compact size, designed for the smooth pouring in everyday life with the unique design of a gentle glow which it’s visible from every single angle. Its petite size and light weight allow users to handle it steadily so they can get just the right amount of hot water whether it is hand drip coffee or a rich matcha latte.

According to Ms Lim Pei Yan, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Visionary Solutions Sdn Bhd (the sole distributor of BALMUDA Malaysia), the BALMUDA brand advocates the philosophy of “Better Moments, Better Life” – which aims to enrich lives through inspiring a new world of culinary experiences and discoveries for Malaysians for their meal times – be it at home, social, work or anywhere they may be.

“Malaysians love food. Eating is a very empowering experience and can bring so much joy, energy and connection with friends and family. The kitchen is the most creative place in the house. BALMUDA’s aim is to make the kitchen a more fun, exciting and enriching place to be in.

“Malaysians also live very busy lifestyles. More often than not, we don’t even have time to cook or enjoy a fresh and hearty breakfast but resort to a piece of overnight toast. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to bring that stale bread back to its original freshness and crispness? With BALMUDA, and now you can! Our wish is for everyone to enjoy good bakes at any time, anywhere – it’s just like having our personal baker with us all the time! That’s essentially the core attribute of BALMUDA The Toaster – redefining culinary experiences and advocating a love for life,” enthused Lim.

Chef Chong’s Christmas recipe using BALMUDA The Toaster

Award-winning pastry Chef Chong Ko Wai explained that making a delicious bake is not as easy as one thinks. The right ingredients, measurement and technique all contribute to the quality of the toast. Using the right appliance is absolutely crucial. “Besides being a beautiful kitchen appliance for my kitchen, BALMUDA The Toaster is very compact and handy to bring to anywhere to REBAKE my confectionery items to its original freshness for customers to try. So now everyone can enjoy fresh bakeries at its best, whenever and wherever they may be,” said Chef Chong.

Barista Wesley’s Christmas coffee mocktail

Head Barista Wesley Liew explained, “Various factors come into play when brewing a quality cuppa. Take for instance, for a great coffee, one should consider the type of beans used, water quality, the right temperature and specific brewing techniques. BALMUDA The Pot not only looks elegant, it has the ability to heat the water within few minutes. The most striking feature is its gooseneck spout for precision pouring – which is key to control the flow rate and direction of the water to enhance the overall brew taste and quality. Hence, it’s not surprising that BALMUDA The Pot is a much sought-after item by baristas to compete and excel in international competitions.

Participants toasting up a storm with the new toaster

Media and lifestyle influencers had the opportunity to experience with the new BALMUDA range via an immersive culinary session. They created their own versions of toasts with various ingredients and brewed various types of beverages with BALMUDA The Toaster and BALMUDA The Pot. Everyone was impressed by the design and technology of the other BALMUDA appliances on display, comprising BALMUDA The Plate, BALMUDA The Range, BALMUDA The Gohan, BALMUDA The Brew, BALMUDA The GreenFan, BALMUDA GreenFan Cirq, BALMUDA The Lantern and BALMUDA The Speaker.

BALMUDA The Toaster and BALMUDA The Pot retail at RM1,799 and RM799, respectively and are accessible at major electrical stores such as Harvey Norman, TBM, ESH, Best Denki, Volt and more to come.

[From left to right: Ms. Verleen Goh, Mr. Alan Phua, Minister Chee Hong Tat, Mr. Michael Chen, Mr. Jimmy Wei]. This MOU and investment, valued at over $8million SGD marks a significant partnership for Alchemy Foodtech and Ting Li, consisting of 14 key areas of collaboration.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Ting Li Development, the investment arm of Ting Hsin International Group, which controls around 35% of China’s instant food and beverage (F&B) market, ties up with  in a strategic move to reduce sugar and carbohydrate content in their F&B products.

In a landmark move for the food technology sector, Alchemy Foodtech, a pioneering Singapore start-up, has received a strategic investment from Ting Li Development. A memorandum of understanding (MOU), valued at over S$8 million, was signed by the two parties today and signifies a major stride for Alchemy Foodtech in its quest to bring healthier offerings to people across the globe.

A strategic investment in Alchemy Foodtech’s innovations

Ting Li Development is the investment arm of the Ting Hsin International Group, which owns some of the largest F&B brands in China, including Master Kong, Wei Chuan Foods Corporation, Dicos, and FamilyMart. This investment signifies the group’s trust in Alchemy Foodtech’s innovations and is particularly noteworthy given the current global economic downturn, where investors have been more cautious. To Alchemy Foodtech, this collaboration also presents opportunities to elevate Singapore’s reputation as a food technology hub.

“Our commitment to Alchemy Foodtech highlights our belief in their technology and capabilities. We are confident that this collaboration will be able to meet the rising demands of increasingly health-conscious consumers globally,” said Ting Li’s representative, Mr. Michael Chen, Wei Chuan Foods Cooperation International Business Division Director.

Creating a healthier, lower sugar and carb future

Presently, Ting Li has already completed an initial monetary investment into Alchemy Foodtech. In this initial phase of collaboration, Alchemy Foodtech will be working closely with 14 of Ting Hsin International’s business units to create new, healthier products for their best-known brands of instant food and baked goods – without compromising on taste or texture. In addition, Alchemy Foodtech’s solutions will significantly boost the nutritional content by increasing dietary fibre and prebiotics of the F&B products. And this is just the beginning, with future collaborations set to further expand Alchemy Foodtech’s line of sugar and carb reduction solutions and Ting Hsin International’s F&B product offerings.

This collaboration is also poised to have a profound impact on sugar reduction efforts across Asia. With the MOU, Alchemy Foodtech will be able to leverage Ting Hsin International’s manufacturing facilities to lower their cost of goods sold by an estimated 30%.

This in turn, will make their solutions more affordable and accessible to F&B manufacturers across the continent. Furthermore, Alchemy Foodtech will also leverage Wei Chuan’s network to distribute their existing sugar reduction solutions and extend the reach of our nation’s home-grown food technologies to other F&B businesses across Asia Pacific.

“We are honoured to work with Ting Li and Ting Hsin’s subsidiaries in this strategic partnership to develop more sugar reduction applications across the instant food and beverage sector. This is a very exciting collaboration that will create meaningful opportunities, not just for Alchemy Foodtech, but also for businesses with their sights set on creating healthier and better food for our future generations”, said Mr. Alan Phua, CEO of Alchemy Foodtech.

The wider impact for Singapore Foodtech

This partnership is a beacon of hope for local foodtech companies aspiring to expand into larger markets, and Alchemy Foodtech credits Enterprise Singapore (ESG) for their supportive role in establishing Alchemy Foodtech’s Shanghai office during COVID-19 lockdown, as one of the stepping stones leading to this strategic investment.

More broadly, this alliance could plant a seed for other local tech startups – showcasing how home-grown technologies can successfully expand beyond our shores, grow the reach of our intellectual properties, and make a meaningful impact to potentially millions of lives across the region.

This initiative also aligns with our nation’s ambitions for bringing Singapore technology abroad to enrich the economy and facilitate information transfer, as outlined by Mr. Chee Hong Tat, Acting Minister for Transport and Senior Minister of State for Finance. Minister Chee, who was present at the MOU signing, also had a taste of Alchemy Foodtech’s latest innovation, Alchemy SweetFibreTM – a fibre-based sugar substitute that is high in dietary fibre and prebiotics – with a cup of his favourite morning drink, kopi o kosong (black coffee without sugar).

Bangkok Produce Public Company Limited (BKP), a key raw material supplier for Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited (CP Foods), has inaugurated a campaign addressing the PM 2.5 air pollution issue, especially in Northern Thailand. This initiative calls upon Thai citizens to actively prevent the burning of stubble following the corn harvest. A key feature of this campaign is the introduction of a public reporting platform for instances of cornfield burning. Leveraging the ‘For Farm’ application and a corn traceability website, BKP aims to bring together farmers and the general public to combat corn field fires, which are one of the significant contributors to air pollution and haze in the region.

Woraphot Suratwisit, Vice President of BKP, has underscored the company’s dedication to addressing the challenges of PM 2.5 dust and haze. The campaign is geared towards fostering broad collaboration to implement rules and put a stop to cornfield burning, predominantly used in animal feed production. The public is invited to report any field burning incidents, providing photographs and geographical information, via the ‘For Farm’ app or the traceability website.

Upon receiving these reports,  BKP will ascertain whether the burning corn fields are connected to corn procured by the company. If so, BKP will dispatch staff and partners to offer farmers guidance on enhanced farming methods. Farmers repeatedly violating these guidelines will face a one-year suspension from corn purchases at BKP.

For fields not linked to CP Foods, BKP will collaborate with relevant authorities to ensure PM 2.5 mitigation.

Moreover, BKP is collaborating with local corn partners to encourage non-burning agricultural methods and has launched the ‘Partner to Green’ project. This project aims to curtail or eliminate field burning, a critical factor in the creation of haze.

2024 to Kick Off with A Bang as Mad Hat Asia Signs On New Clients and Renewals

(27 November 2023) 2024 looks set to be a mad ride for the Hatters at Mad Hat Asia, and we would not have it any other way. Mad Hat Asia welcomed some new client partners such as SISTIC, Heartlands Festival, and SOFY while renewing existing relationships with Spa Esprit Group, Cadbury, and Biji-biji Initiative.

BRING ON THE NEW!

Mad Hat Asia has won the mantle for SISTIC. Singapore’s largest ticketing service and provider, SISTIC aims to encourage more Malaysians to use SISTIC to discover arts & entertainment experiences when they travel into Singapore, such as purchasing tickets to events, entertainment and concerts such as Hamilton, The World of Nickelodeon, Ice Magic: Winter Wonderland and more.

January – February 2024 will see the return of Heartlands Festival, which is a celebration of the heartlands of Singapore, in efforts to drive greater community engagement and encourage locals and tourists alike to explore lesser-known locations and businesses in the heartlands. Go on an adventure with tours, quests, and trails, that will make participants sit up and go, “I didn’t know that!”.

Mad Hat Asia secured the mandate for SOFY, the female sanitary product brand. Studios will be taking charge of SOFY’s social media pages, creating engaging content extolling SOFY’s softness, comfort and security to young ladies aged 15 years and above.

OLD FRIENDS, NEW IDEAS!

Mad Hat Asia also saw the return of partners with some fresh and exciting new ideas and events! Biji-biji Initiative, a sustainability-focused organization, has renewed its partnership with Mad Hat Asia. The aim is to elevate Biji-biji’s profile in Malaysia as a crucial catalyst for public development support. The partnership will help to launch and promote Biji-biji’s role in growing impact changemakers, social enterprises, and community engagement. The organizations will collaborate in supporting various upcoming programs such as Women in Entrepreneurship and YSEALI Game Changer programs.

Over in Singapore, Christmas is in the air as the organization scores a renewal with Cadbury’s 2023 Christmas campaign. The campaign will feature seven festive favorites including an interactive 3D Advent calendar, promising an even more delightful countdown to Christmas this year.

Spa Esprit Group has renewed their relationship with Mad Hat Asia for the third year running. Mad Hat Asia will continue to serve Spa Esprit Group’s F&B and beauty categories as the company launches new locations for Tiong Bahru Bakery and Common Man Coffee Roasters, and new services for Spa Esprit, STRIP, and Browhaus.

STAYING AHEAD OF THE CURVE

Rengeeta Rendava, Founder and Managing Director of Mad Hat Asia says, “Mad Hat Asia has always been driven by the belief that attention is the new currency, and our role as communicators is to harness the power of creative storytelling to deliver this with our client partners.”

She adds, “Having the opportunity to work with some of these amazing brands is testament to the good work we’ve done and the stellar rapport we have with both new and current partners.
