Lyre's Penicilin
With Father’s Day creeping up, the niggling anxiety about what to get Dad slowly approaches too for another year.

Make exceptionally suave cocktails with Lyre’s unparalleled non-alcoholic spirits range that gives fathers everywhere the freedom to celebrate their day, their way.

Lyre’s, the most awarded non-alcoholic spirits in the world, is the way to go to impress Dad. Crafted to pay homage to the flavours of the world’s most time-tested spirits, Lyre’s products were made to look, taste and sashay around the palate just like the originals that inspired them. With all the classic spirits represented in their exquisite range, practically every cocktail known to man (and your old man!) can be faithfully recreated and enjoyed in a non-alcoholic fashion. If Dad is trying to cut back or does not wish to drink alcohol, Lyre’s provides a delicious alternative with a distinguished, relaxing beverage that can be savoured.

Lyre’s offers an easy solution for gifting with a special Father’s Day deal with one free bottle when you buy four from Lyre’s award-winning range of 13 non-alcoholic spirits online from 12 – 19 June. Lyre’s has even shared new recipes on their website, so you’ll be able to shake and stir up non-alcoholic versions of Dad’s favourite drinks for every occasion.

  • For all the headaches caused – Lyre’s Penicillin, the cure to all that ails him. In a shaker, combine 2 parts of Lyre’s American Malt and ½ part honey and ginger syrup, ½ part lemon juice and 1 part strong smoky tea like Lapsang souchong or Russian Caravan tea. Shake briefly with ice, and strain over a large ice cube into an old fashioned glass garnished with a ginger cube on a skewer.
Lyre’s Dry Martini
  • For all the Dad jokes created – Lyre’s Dry Martini perfectly matches Dad’s dry humour and the jokes that you have heard over time. Just stir 60ml Lyre’s Dry London Spirit and 15ml chilled Lyre’s Apéritif Dry with ice. Strain the tasty tipple into a martini glass or small coupette and add a lemon twist for an elevated look.
Lyre’s Blackberry Smash
  • For all the times he fixed something – Lyre’s Blackberry Smash is the perfect ode to everything that your old man has attempted to fix. Whether he is a master engineer or swears by duct tape to fix anything, this summer cocktail will loosen up and impress him with your skills. In a shaker, add 4 smashed blackberries, 8 mint leaves and ½ part white sugar syrup. Once all muddled up, add 2 parts Lyre’s American Malt and ½ part lime juice into the shaker with ice. Shake your concoction and strain into an old-fashioned glass with fresh ice. Add plump mint spring and blackberry on a skewer to add that final touch that your Dad will adore.
  • For all the vacations and memories  Lyre’s Gin Gin Mule will refresh your old man’s memory of your holidays and special memories. Create this modern classic tipple by, pouring 2 parts Lyre’s Dry London Spirit, ¼ part white sugar syrup, ½ part lime juice, 3 parts premium ginger ale and 8 mint leaves into a highball glass with ice. Stir your cocktail and serve with a plump mint spring and lime wedge – just like they would in Dad’s favourite hotel bars.

foodpanda saw the gap that needed to be filled during the previous Movement Control Order (MCO), when Malaysians were urged to stay at home to curb the spread of the virus. With the aim of offering enhanced choices to users as well as their safety in mind, pandamart was launched and over time, has managed to increase the variety of choices and offerings.

Ashutosh added that foodpanda aims to keep the momentum up with the positive growth strategy for pandamart’s expansion across the nation “Having launched not too long ago, we have witnessed tremendous growth in the Malaysian market. We hope to continue providing our users with speed and convenience when delivering groceries to their doorstep,” said Ashutosh.

7-Eleven Malaysia Brings Raya Warmth to Shelter Homes

KUALA LUMPUR, 31 May 2021 – The largest 24-hour standalone convenience store operator, 7-Eleven Malaysia, in collaboration with its partner NGOhub, carried out its latest corporate social responsibility (CSR) this Hari Raya by reaching out to the disenfranchised communities that have been adversely affected in light of the restricted movement order.

Acknowledging the challenges faced by these less fortunate communities during this festive season, 7-Eleven Malaysia arranged for the distribution of groceries and basic necessities such as rice, cooking oil, canned sardines, cookies, instant oatmeal and condensed milk to name a few to Rumah Titian Kaseh, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Dan Perlindungan Al-Haq, and other selected charitable organisations that are located in the most affected areas to help ease their burden during this challenging period.

 

7-Eleven Malaysia’s General Manager of Marketing, Ronan Lee, said: “Every year during this festive period, it is especially important to not forget about the community surrounding us, especially the underprivileged and neglected. Hari Raya is a time to spare a thought for underprivileged children and less fortunate groups living in welfare homes and orphanages, especially during these unprecedented times. It is indeed heartwarming to see the smile on the residents’ faces as they deserve to remember how it feels to be loved and truly cared for.”

“At 7-Eleven, we are committed to assisting the community we served in through various activities and campaigns. Driven by our CSR initiatives to contribute to the well-being of society, we believe it is important to get on the ground in light of the restricted movement order and ensure that these less fortunate communities are not neglected,” Lee said.

“In light of the pandemic, necessary precautions were taken at the supply handovers with minimal personnel from both the recipients and our side as well as minimal interaction with the supplies dropped off at the lobby of the home. We would like to encourage members of the public to strictly adhere to the relevant authorities’ guidelines and instructions and practice social distancing as everyone plays a vital role in overcoming the pandemic together,” he added.

Expressing her gratitude, the caretaker of Rumah Titian Kaseh, Linda said, “We are ever thankful to 7-Eleven Malaysia for the generous contribution during these challenging times. At present, we have around 90 residents including elderly, single mothers and children from various social background and most of them have poor access to education with poor literacy rate.”

“Our role as a shelter in supplying daily essentials for them has become paramount when the pandemic hit. It has been tough for us to secure donations especially when we have to keep operations afloat. Some of our children were tested positive for COVID-19 recently and this means we are in need of more face masks, hand sanitisers, and multivitamin supplement,” she added.

Founded in 2017, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Dan Perlindungan Al-Haq is a shelter home in Kampung Datuk Keramat. The home operates with two caretakers and hosts 15 children between 9 months to 14 years of age. On receiving the groceries and basic necessities, the caretaker of Pertubuhan Kebajikan Dan Perlindungan Al-Haq, Fadillah said, “We would like to want thank 7-Eleven Malaysia and NGOHub for the contribution to our home. We truly appreciate your kindness towards our children especially during these challenging times. Thank you so much for being there for us.”

Both homes welcome contribution from society and is particularly seeking for monetary funds and household items. For more information on how to support them, contact Rumah Titian Kaseh (+6 012 991 6081) and Pertubuhan Kebajikan Dan Perlindungan Al-Haq (+6011 1030 6309) or visit their websites.

Oishi new wakoucha RTD tea offers Japanese black tea to Thai consumers

Oishi has added a new Japanese tea variant to its Oishi Gold label. This time the RTD tea brand is introducing wakoucha (和红茶) or Japanese black tea to Thai consumers.

The history of wakoucha tea in Japan is around 150 years old and was started during the Meiji period. Only several hundred farmers are cultivating wokoucha in Japan and thus making it a specialty tea since it accounts for less than 1% of Japan’s total tea production. Wakoucha has a relatively low astringency.

Oishi Gold Label Wakoucha (400ml) comes in No Sugar and Lemon Delight. The RTD tea also contains 6,000mg of fibre.

Osotspa’s C-vitt brand is back with a focus on gut health and improving skin complexion. The new C-vitt Plus contains not only 200% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C but it also has collagen (mix berry) and fibre (grape flavour).

C-vitt Plus offers addition benefits sought after by female consumers to increase the appeal of C-vitt following heightened competition in the vitamin-fortified beverage segment in Thailand.

This 35g pack (THB 25 at 7-Eleven) is said to be crunchy, creamy, delicious and chewy.

Aurora Prebiotic Crunchy Cocoa Granola uses non-dairy creamer, thus making it suitable for vegetarian.

Diamond Grains Aurora Prebiotic taps into better-for-you snacking with a greater emphasis on eating for digestive health.

In another development, a report by prachachat.net mentioned Ichitan plans to launch Thai milk tea products in UHT in Brunei and the Philippines in the third quarter of 2021. The company is expanding its reach into more overseas market buoyed by its success in Indonesia.

The Thai series beverages are doing well in Indonesia and there is a hope that similar opportunities can be captured in other Southeast Asian market.

Everbest ring roll sets its course to become a must when eating instant noodle

Everbest Soya Bean Products Sdn Bhd is popularing ring roll (鈴鈴卷) as an accompaniment to soupy hot meals in Malaysia.

Ring roll originated from China and is commonly eaten with hot pot. The ring roll is usually made from bean curd skin, which then quickly fried and wrapped into a roll.

Everbest uses only specially selected non-GMO soya bean from Canada for all its soya bean products to ensure the food quality is well maintain.

Ring Roll is best to eat with any soup based dishes including instant noodles – simply dip in soup for 3 seconds and it is ready to serve.

To win in Malaysia, the only way for ring roll to reach out to most consumers is to associate it with instant noodle instead of eating hot pot.

Everbest reached out to the Malay audience during Raya 2021 to popularise ring roll among the Malay community.

For the latest push, Everbest has collaborated with Maggi to offer a free Everbest Ring Roll with every purchase of Maggi Hotmealz instant noodle exclusively at 99 Speedmart. This partnership aims to expose consumers to a new eating experience and hopefully turn ring roll into the perfect companion to instant noodle.
