Indonesia’s largest instant noodle maker Indomie has introduced Real Meat Premium Collection in pack format. Indomie’s choice of pack format is seen as following the footstep of its rival Bakmi Mewah, which is moving into pack from box.
Bakmi Mewah is the pioneer of the premium instant noodle with real meat in box packaging and has recently introduced two new premium noodles Sambal Matah and Sop Buntut (oxtail soup) in pack.
Indomie’s new products in individual pack come in two variants Indomie Real Meat Pepper Chicken and Indomie Real Meat Mushroom Chicken. The dry noodles are available exclusively on Shopee.
Indofood has introduced Chitato Maxx Spicy Mexican Chili in Indonesia. The new potato chip comes in a wavy format for the ultimate experience. It is flavourful and crunchy #totheMAXX. Texture is the new frontier for snack brands to innovate.
Indonesia’s Nabati has tapped into coconut for its Nextar range. Nextar first started off as a pineapple tart filled with pineapple jam. Then came Nextar Choco Brownies, which is brownies cookies with soft-textured chocolate cream filling inside. The latest is Nextar Sagon Klapa Lava, which is a combination of sagon cookies (coconut cookies) and coconut cream.
The coconut flavour is also featured in the new product under the flagship Nabati Sandwich. The new Nabati Sandwich Klapa Lava is described as a coconut vanilla flavoured cream wafer.
Spicy Korean fried chicken is popular in Malaysia. Having the right sauce is crucial to recreate the taste of the spicy Korean fried chicken. To make it easier for Malaysians to enjoy the spicy Korean fried chicken at home, Adabi has introduced a new halal-certified Sos Korea Adabi or Adabi Korean Sauce, which is said to be extremely spicy.
Korean sauce, which is certified halal, is popular at the moment in Malaysia in line with the popularity of Korean cuisines. Apart from Adabi, other players in the market include KSC, which is said to be the first Korean fried chicken sauce in Malaysia, and Black Bomb by Mama G Food Industries.
We expect there will be more Malaysian-made Korean products in the market as consumers not only want the authentic Korean taste but also the assurance on halal.
QSR Trading Sdn Bhd showcased its latest frozen meal selections at the recently concluded 5th Selangor International Expo 2019 on 10-13 October 2019. The frozen meals included the following Malaysian favorites.
The frozen meals have to be stored at a temperature below -18°C.
Launched in 2016, Ayamas Kitchen with the tagline “More than just Chicken” represents a move to diversify the Ayamas brand from being fixated on chicken. At the moment, Ayamas Kitchen has frozen dim sum, sauces and seasonings, ready-to-eat (RTE) meals and canned seafood. The latest frozen meals complement the existing range of RTEs.

Unilever Indonesia is striking back at Aice in the mass market ice cream segment with Seru. The ice cream under the Seru brand is selling at prices ranging from IDR 2,000 (USD 0.14) to IDR 3,000, a price point that make these ice cream accessible to ordinary consumers who are looking for an affordable indulgence. Compared to Seru, Wall’s is priced around IDR 5,000.
Unilever said it has started selling Seru ice cream in East Java since end of 2019.
The company is recruiting individuals to join the Seru ice cream selling program. The key focus is on the traditional trade, the small stores, frequented by millions of Indonesians who live within a short walking distance from their homes.
Unilever offers two business models for entrepreneurs to start their business with Seru. The first model opens up the opportunity for individuals to earn money by selling Seru ice cream to consumers. The ice cream freezer can be rented from the company.
The second model is to have individuals acting as distributors who will be distributing the ice cream to individuals operating under the first model. The distributors have the additional role of supporting marketing activities and ensuring the freezer is in tip top condition and is stocked only with Seru ice cream. The estimated revenue an individual can earn from the second model is IDR 4 million to IDR 12 million a month.
Seru gives Unilever a possibility of competing more effectively with not just Aice but also against the newcomer Yili’s Joyday in the mass market ice cream segment. Joyday is taking the same pathways as Aice and Seru where it is offering interested individuals with eco-friendly freezer and a chance to earn extra money selling Joyday ice cream.

In the latest product, Nabati pays homage to black not just in its cream cheese wafer but also at its quick service restaurant chain Richeese Factory. At Richeese Factory, the new Richeese Black menu is all black, thanks to the use of food grade, halal-certified charcoal.
⢠Holista CollTech (ASX:HCT) and SunFresh Fruit Hub to develop three healthy ingredients for the fast-growing multi-billion-dollar Bubble Tea industry
⢠Tapioca starch âpearlsâ,sugar syrup and sugar caramel to be produced in Malaysia under License from HCT will lower the Glycemic Index compared to ingredients currently used in the beverage
⢠The ingredients will be tested at the University of Sydney around November 2019 and expected to enter the market in early 2020
⢠All key ingredients can be produced under license in domestic markets, potentially leading to job creation.
PERTH/KUALA LUMPUR, 16 OCTOBER 2019 â Holista CollTech Ltd (ASX:HCT, Holista) and SunFresh Fruit Hub Sdn Bhd (Fruit Hub) announced today a research and development collaboration to produce three key healthy ingredients for the global Bubble Tea industry, a popular global drink fad that has raised serious concerns about its effect on diabetes and obesity.
Holista, a food ingredients specialist listed in Australia and Fruit Hub, which processes and packages fruit juices and beverage ingredients, said that while the Bubble Tea sector is growing rapidly, many consumers are not aware of the consequences to personal health.
A typical 500 ml Bubble Tea drink contains at least 8.5 teaspoons of sugar, although customers can opt for a less-sweetened product. Each cup can contain anywhere between 281 to 640 calories.
Bubble Tea originated in Taiwan and has spread rapidly to other parts of Asia. The Taiwan Bubble Tea market alone is expected to grow to US$3.21 billion by 2023 from US$1.96 billion in 2016, according to Allied Market research. An independent market analysis firm, Straits Research, has estimated Malaysiaâs Bubble Tea market at US$49.8 million (RM209 million) and growing at a rate of 6.9 per cent from 2019 to 2026.
Holista and Fruit Hub will co-develop healthy versions of three Bubble Tea ingredients without altering the taste and mouth-feel. All three ingredients will have a lower Glycemic Index (GI), which measures a foodâs impact on blood sugar. A lower GI is healthier as more time is taken to digest and absorb glucose. A higher GI spikes up blood sugar levels, causing diabetes and increasing the chances of obesity, stroke and heart disease.

The first is low-GI âpearlsâ, tapioca starch balls measuring 0.8 to 1.0 cm each which account for about a third of the drinkâs calorie count. Holista will combine its patented GI-Liteâ˘, an all-natural formula with tapioca starch to lower the GI without any discernible change in taste or texture.
Fruit Hub is processing the âpearlsâ at its facility in Lanchang, Pahang state, Malaysia using a formula of its Taiwanese partner, YongDa Food Technology Co. Ltd. Subject to final tests, the partners expect to lower the GI of the âpearlsâ from the 70-75 currently to below 55.
The second is a sugar syrup using Holistaâs proprietary low-GI and low-calorie sugar, 80Lessâ˘, that has 80% fewer calories and yet delivers the same taste sensation; this not only reduces unhealthy effects but also lowers costs for manufacturers and vendors.
The third is Holistaâs proprietary low-GI sugar caramel (brown sugar) which retains sweetness with lower calories. Made from molasses, it is used as a pre-pour to sweeten the âpearlsâ or as a medium to cook them.
All three products will be tested by the Sydney University GI Research Service (SUGiRS) by the end of next month before hitting local and international markets by the first quarter of 2020. SUGiRS has already validated the low-GI versions of flour-based noodles and flatbreads coproduced by Holista with scores that are significantly lower than products currently available.
While Holista has gained global market acceptance for its low-GI noodles (sold to China and Korea) and roti canai and chappati flatbreads (sold in Malaysia and overseas), it had not addressed the Bubble Tea sector until the opportunity came up to collaborate with Fruit Hub.
Fruit Hubâs parent company in Taiwan supplies tapioca âpearlsâ to several Bubble Tea chains in Greater China with a combined network of over 5,000 stores. Fruit Hub has started manufacturing the âpearlsâ in Lanchang, Malaysia with production expected to hit 12.5 tonnes a day or 300,000 tonnes â equivalent to 6 million cups of the drink â a month by December 2019. HCT and Fruit Hub through this collaboration will provide the low GI ingredients to some of this manufacturing.
According to a popular online food delivery app, Bubble Tea orders in Southeast Asia increased 3,000% in 2018 year on year. The app is connected to the 4,000 Bubble Tea outlets in the region, which are growing at a rate of 200%. Its data also shows that consumers in the region consume at least 4 cups a month, led by Thailand (6 cups), Philippines (5) and 3 for each of Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.
Malaysia has been ranked as Asiaâs most obese nation with 17.5% and 17.6% rate of diabetes and obesity, respectively. The Malaysian government introduced a sugar tax on 1 July 2019, one of the first countries in Southeast Asia to do so.
Dr Rajen Manicka, Founder and CEO of Holista, said, âThe Bubble Tea fad is not going to go away. The challenge is to offer a healthier version which can significantly reduce the potential of higher incidence of diabetes and obesity. We are combining science with the market reach and understanding of the needs of Bubble Tea manufacturers and vendors to offer a healthier alternative without increasing cost of productionâ.
Ms Foong Wai Fong, Managing Director of Fruit Hub, said, âThis is a Malaysian collaboration by an Australian company which can transform the global Bubble Tea industry for the better. Fruit Hub has a strong network among the major Bubble Tea chains. We are confident that these three ingredients will make a real difference and can take the creative beverage industry to a new level â a tastier and healthier version in which consumers can enjoy the drink without health concerns.â
âIt is our vision that this endeavour will place Malaysia as a centre of innovation in the beverage sector.â she added.
