Jajan Indonesia adalah sajian terbaru dari FIT Gourmet yang membuat kreasi empat jenis jajanan favorit masyarakat Indonesia dalam sajian yang lebih sehat

Memasuki bulan Agustus, seluruh masyarakat Indonesia siap menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan. Sesuai tradisi, banyak cara yang dapat dilakukan seperti menghias sudut jalan dengan bendera merah putih, memasang bendera di tiap-tiap rumah, hingga menyulap lahan kosong menjadi tempat lomba khas 17-an. Tahun ini, mungkin perayaan itu akan terasa sedikit berbeda. Perlombaan yang melibatkan kerumunan warga, interaksi yang mengharuskan berada dalam jarak dekat akan menjadi hal-hal yang patut dipertimbangkan demi kepentingan bersama. Namun, hal itu tidak mengurangi semangat merayakan Hari Kemerdekaan karena akan selalu ada cara-cara kreatif untuk merayakannya. Seperti yang dilakukan oleh FIT Gourmet, sebuah layanan restoran dan katering makanan sehat di Jakarta yang meluncurkan program bertajuk “Jajan Indonesia”.

Melalui program ini, FIT Gourmet membuat kreasi empat jenis jajanan favorit Nusantara dalam sajian yang lebih sehat. Tersedia secara eksklusif sepanjang bulan Agustus untuk wilayah Jakarta dan sekitarnya, program ini diadakan untuk mengajak masyarakat mengenal sejarah Indonesia melalui sajian kuliner yang sehat dan lezat.

Berikut adalah keempat sajian jajanan khas Indonesia yang telah dikreasikan ulang oleh FIT Gourmet:

·         Soto Mie Shirataki – makanan yang juga populer di Singapura dan Malaysia ini umumnya menggunakan bihun sebagai bahan dasar. Untuk sajian yang lebih sehat, FIT Gourmet menggantinya dengan shirataki yang telah dikenal akan kandungan kalori yang rendah dan serat yang tinggi. Sepiring porsi Soto Mie Shirataki ini hanya mengandung 192,0 kkal.

·         Ketoprak Shirataki – shirataki yang mengandung 97% air dan 3% fiber glucomannan ini juga dapat diolah menjadi bahan dasar ketoprak. Ditambah dengan tauge dan tahu goreng, Ketoprak Shirataki ala FIT Gourmet dilengkapi dengan saus kacang yang dibuat dari kacang tanah dengan proses sangrai (teknik menggoreng tanpa minyak) untuk mengurangi kadar kolesterol. Disajikan lengkap dengan kerupuk yang terbuat dari rice paper roll, Ketoprak Shirataki mengandung total 611,9 kkal.

·         Bakwan Bites – dikenal dengan nama yang berbeda-beda di tiap daerah, bakwan umumnya dikenal sebagai salah satu cemilan berbahan dasar tepung dengan berbagai isi dan varian. Berbeda dengan bakwan kebanyakan, Bakwan Bites dibuat dari butir jagung dan olahan sayur tanpa menggunakan gluten sama sekali. Satu porsi Bakwan Bites terdiri dari 10 potong bakwan dengan total 478,7 kkal.

·         Kopi Cendol Lo-kal – Cendol yang pernah menduduki peringkat 45 dalam daftar minuman terenak di dunia ini merupakan salah satu minuman paling populer di Indonesia. Dapat ditemukan secara mudah di restoran hingga pedagang kaki lima, cendol dapat dibuat menjadi sajian lebih sehat dengan menggunakan gula jawa rendah kalori dari Tropicana Slim. Agar lebih nikmat, cendol ala FIT Gourmet dicampur dengan kopi yang menggunakan susu rendah lemak. Segar dan nikmat, Kopi Cendol Lo-kal hanya mengandung 200,1 kkal.

Seluruh menu yang tergabung dalam Jajan Indonesia dapat dibeli secara langsung di gerai FIT Gourmet ataupun melalui online delivery. FIT Gourmet berharap, hadirnya menu-menu ini dapat menambah keinginan masyarakat untuk mengenal budaya dan sejarah melalui kuliner Nusantara.

SHAH ALAM, 4 August 2020 – Following Carlsberg Malaysia’s long-awaited launch of the limited-edition ‘Champions’ packaging across Carlsberg cans and bottles, the brewer is giving more reasons for football fans to celebrate with the jaw-dropping grand prize of a signed Liverpool FC jersey to be won with purchases of Probably the Best Beer in the World.

A very limited number of official jerseys will be up for grabs in Malaysia, personally signed by members of the Premier League Champions team – a priceless memorabilia for fans of the Reds who have waited patiently for this astounding league win for almost three decades.

Apart from the jersey, the other highly-collectible prize is the Liverpool FC Champions Set consisting of two 500ml cans of Carlsberg Danish Pilsner and Carlsberg Smooth Draught, a special-edition Carlsberg stem glass with the Liverpool FC crest, delivered in a collector’s box commemorating Liverpool FC’s Premier League win.

Carlsberg Malaysia is making it easy for fans to win in three simple steps of “Buy, Scan & Win” whenever they enjoy Carlsberg Danish Pilsner or Carlsberg Smooth Draught. Consumers only have to submit their proof of purchase through a scanned QR code and immediately be eligible for prizes.

The chance to win a signed jersey is exclusively for purchases at hypermarkets, supermarkets and convenience stores. Simply purchase RM30 and above of Carlsberg Danish Pilsner or Carlsberg Smooth Draught, scan the QR code displayed at the point of purchase, and upload your receipt to be in the running to win the grand prize of a signed jersey and Liverpool FC Champions Set every week between 1 August to 13 September. An additional 110 winners every week will receive the Liverpool FC Champions Set.

Consumers purchasing Carlsberg Danish Pilsner and Carlsberg Smooth Draught in bars, bistros, restaurants will be rewarded with a “sure-win” Liverpool FC Champions Set when they purchase bottles in buckets or draught beer in towers or mugs and scan their proof of purchase through a QR code link. On the other hand, patrons at coffeeshops can also win the Liverpool FC Champions set with every purchase of six big bottles through an additional option of submitting their proof of purchase via WhatsApp.

Of all the Carlsberg markets globally, only Malaysia will enjoy a special version of Carlsberg Smooth Draught with a mirrored red, white and silver look, complementing the all-red Carlsberg Danish Pilsner Champions packaging as a collectible set.

In celebration of Liverpool FC’s historic win, Liverpool fans in Malaysia also paid tribute to the team and fans around the world in a special video where fans gathered virtually to sing the Liverpool FC anthem – You’ll Never Walk Alone. Made possible by Carlsberg in the spirit of bringing fans together, the video is especially poignant with fans singing in solidarity even while apart due to social distancing.
