ShopeeFood offers a fast and easy way to order your favourite meals via the Shopee mobile app. There are lots of deals to help you save money on your meals too

Most of us use Shopee to shop online but it also has a food delivery feature under ShopeeFood, which was first launched in Malaysia in September 2021. ShopeeFood is currently available in Klang Valley, Johor Bahru, Penang, Sabah, and now in Ipoh. ShopeeFood offers an exciting array of popular local and international F&B partners including McDonald’s, ZUS Coffee, KFC and Myeongdong Topokki with the number of partners expanding day by day.

Just tap the ShopeeFood icon on the Shopee mobile app to order

Recently, we had the chance to try out ShopeeFood. The first thing that pops up on our mind is Korean food, which is extremely popular with Malaysians. Lo and behold, there is a wide array of Korean food selections on ShopeeFood ranging from Myeongdong Topokki, Kyung Joo Korean Restaurant, Daorae, Sae Ma Eul BBQ to DubuYo.

We decided to try something new –  DubuYo, a restaurant that is close to our location, which also means shorter delivery time as we were hungry.

DubuYo is a halal Korean restaurant chain that offers delicious and affordable Korean foods. DubuYo currently has outlets in most locations within the Klang Valley including at MidValley, Sunway Velocity, The Mines and Sunway Pyramid.

The ordering process was easy and seamless. With a few taps of the button, the order went through and within seconds, ShopeeFood was assigned a delivery rider. All we need to do is sit back and relax while we wait for our order.

Great value

One thing to highlight is ShopeeFood has regular promotions including flash sale with up to 50% off, PayDay deals only at RM 15, Foodie vouchers and free delivery. Users can also find curated halal food options in the ‘Halal’ section. You can also jump straight into the ‘Breakfast’ section for a quick and easy way to order your favourite breakfast fares. For the adventurous, they can go to ‘New Restaurants’ to explore the many new offerings on ShopeeFood, while enjoying discounts from the new restaurant partners.

The order has finally arrived

Soon, the order arrived on our doorstep. The food was well packed. No spillage was noticed, which was good. The meal and the side dishes were individually packed to ensure the foods were fresh and in proper order.

Time to savour the taste

As this was our first time trying DubuYo, we were delighted to find the foods we ordered: Soondubu Jigae Set Beef and Korean Gogi Set Samgyetang were really tasty. This is also a strong demonstration of ShopeeFood being careful with its choice of partners to ensure consumers receive a quality dining experience. The Soondubu Jigae we ordered from DubuYo is made with soondubu or Korean soft, silken tofu and thick, rich broth with a delectable taste. The Korean Gogi Set Samgyetang is a must-eat during the hot spell in Malaysia. Samgyetang or ginseng chicken soup is a Korean traditional soup popularly consumed to cool down the body during hot and humid days.

Verdict

We had a good experience ordering our meal with ShopeeFood, thanks to the wide range of restaurants and meal selections, fast fulfillment of the order and the many promotions that ShopeeFood offers on a regular basis.

Century Pacific makes waves in plant-based seafood alternatives with unMEAT Fish-Free Tuna

By

Century Pacific Food, Inc. (PSE:CNPF), one of the largest food and beverage companies in the Philippines, released its latest innovation in plant-based alternatives, unMEAT Fish-free Tuna.

In its efforts to double down on its plant-based meat alternatives business, CNPF has been expanding the ‘unMEAT’ portfolio at full tilt. In 2021, the company rolled out its shelf-stable unMEAT luncheon meat line and unCHEESE, a plant-based dairy alternative. Earlier this year, a localized breakfast range was introduced to the Philippine domestic market.

With the launch of new unMEAT Fish-free Tuna, CNPF leveraged its might in developing leading tuna products. The innovation boasts of a taste, texture, and appearance that is undeniably like tuna but is completely fish-free. It is made with 100% plant-based ingredients – non-GMO soy, natural oils, and flavor.

Within two months after its launch, unMEAT Fish-free Tuna has already gained distribution in over 500 retail outlets in the United States, Singapore, and United Arab Emirates, where it is carried in retail giant Carrefour. It is also available in specialty vegan e-commerce sites in the United States, GTFO and Vejii.

CNPF’s Chief Operating Officer, Greg Banzon, shared in a statement, “unMEAT Fish-free Tuna is a gamechanger. Much of the focus in the industry has been on meat alternatives. On the other hand, seafood alternatives remain a wide-open space where we see pent up demand from consumers looking for healthier and more sustainable options at an accessible price.”

According to Banzon, the Company is very confident about the product’s performance and potential.

In a recent survey conducted in the United States by a third party market research firm, unMEAT Fish-free Tuna significantly wins over leading plant-based tuna brands in the country. Seven out of ten respondents claim that unMEAT Fish-free Tuna is significantly superior to other brands in terms of taste. They also find that it most closely resembles tuna in terms of appearance and texture.

“unMEAT has been actively participating in international expos and roadshows. This new product has been drumming up much excitement with retailers all over the world who have tried our samples. We’re currently working on increasing its retail footprint in key markets abroad.” said Banzon.

CNPF launched ‘unMEAT’ in 2020 in response to the expanding consumer preference for healthier, betterfor-you, and better-for-the-planet food choices. The company goes by the philosophy that eating plantbased food should be easy, thus offerings are made and priced as close as possible to their real meat and seafood counterparts.

unMEAT began with an institutional roll out domestically through Shakey’s Pizza, which the CNPF immediately followed up with a retail launch across major supermarkets nationwide. The Company began the global rollout of unMEAT in 2021. At present, unMEAT is being distributed in the UAE, United States, China, Australia, and Singapore.

 

Mansome’ unveils its first-ever facelift crafted for the modern gentlemen with goodness from within and for the world with bold letter ‘M’ to represent ‘Mansome’ and ‘Please Recycle’ call-to-action

6 July 2022 – ‘Mansome’ – a functional beverage for men under TCP Group has unveiled its first-ever packaging facelift in ten years. Designed for today’s gentlemen who are both health-concious and eco-minded, the new look with an easier-to-read nutrition label will first be seen on PET bottles, followed by recyclable aluminium cans. Mansome is the first brand under TCP’s House of Great Brands to start using sustainable packaging to align with one of TCP Group’s key strategies: ‘Caring – Energizing our environment’. TCP Group strives to collect and recycle its products and has set a goal to ensure all its packaging will be 100% recyclable by 2024.

Ms. Prapaipak Weigl, Global Marketing Director (F&B), TCP Group, said: “Mansome has been a friend to Thai men for over a decade. This packaging facelift conveys a message of contemporary gentlemanliness, which comprises both a well-groomed apperance and a love for the environment. The packaging redesign addresses the changing lifestyles of today’s consumers as part of the company’s ‘Fulfilling – Energizing our brand’ pillar and also creates a positive impact on the environment as part of the ‘Caring – Energizing our environment’ pillar – the two main strategies under TCP Group’s new purpose ‘Energizing a Better World for All’.”

Mansome’s new packaging was designed for today’s gentlemen who are both health-concious and eco-minded, with a bold letter ‘M’ that represents Mansome – contemporary gentlemanliness that comprises a caring attitude toward both the self and the world. The nutrition label is clear and easy to read with a ‘Please Recycle’ call-to-action that encourages consumers to separate and recycle Mansome containers. Mansome bottles are made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic. Recycling a single ton of PET plastic is equal to reducing one household’s electricity use for a year or reducing carbon emission from 10,000km of driving. [1]

TCP Group also partners with Thai Beverage Can, Thailand’s leading manufacturer of aluminium and beverage caps under ‘Transparency of Aluminium Can Closed-Loop Recycling’ to collect and recycle used aluminum cans, bringing closed-loop recycling to a full circle.

Mansome Collagen Sleek Cans will have the ‘Aluminium Loop’ symbol to communicate and reassure consumers that aluminium cans can be recycled into new cans in the infinite loop. Consumers can follow the latest news on the project at aluminiumLoop.com/tcp or https://www.tcp.com/product/functional-drink/mansome.
