The orange tossing tradition on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year is said to have originated from the Hokkien community in the southern part of China, and is believed to have made its way to Penang around the end of the 19th century. As the tale goes, maidens would toss oranges into seas, rivers or streams in the hopes of finding a good suitor amongst the eligible men who picked up them.

The much-talked about faux meat Beyond Meat has arrived in Malaysia without much funfair. In Thailand, there was a big launch event in 2019 to coincide with the vegan month in October.
In Malaysia, Village Grocer said on its official Facebook site on 20 December 2019 that it has started selling the new plant-based meat alternative Beyond Meat. Interestingly, Village Grocer did not mention or respond to the comment about the price of the Beyond Meat when asked by some curious netizens.
Beyond Meat is also available at another premium supermarket chain Jaya Grocer and can be bought on the chain’s e-commerce site. Below are the prices of Beyond Meat:
Beyond Meat Beyond Sausage Brat Original Plant Based Sausage (400g) – RM 59.90
Getting consumers on the plant-based meat bandwagon does require additional push from the foodservice sector. In Singapore, Beyond Meat is promoted at selected foodservice establishments to create awareness and interest before the patty or sausage is made available at supermarket for home use. A similar strategy can be adopted in Malaysia.

‘Easily the Standout Musical of the Decade’ – Sunday Times, UK
[KUALA LUMPUR, FEBRUARY 5, 2020]: Acclaimed as āthe standout musical of the decadeā by the UKās Sunday Times, the multi award-winning Matilda The Musical will make its debut in Kuala Lumpur from 2 June 2020 at the Istana Budaya.
Inspired by the beloved book by the incomparable Roald Dahl, Matilda The Musical has taken both Londonās West End and Broadway by storm, garnering five-star reviews across the board. Winner of over 85 international awards, including 16 for Best Musical, Matilda The Musical is now in its ninth year in London where it continues to delight audiences of all ages, and has been seen by more than 8 million people.
The Kuala Lumpur season of Matilda The Musical is the fourth leg of the original London West End musicalās Asian tour after stops in Singapore, China and Bangkok. It comes direct from seasons in Johannesburg and Cape Town, as part of an international tour.
Matilda The Musical was commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company and played to sold-out audiences at the RSCās The Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon in England for 12 weeks from November 2010 to January 2011. It transferred to the West End later that year and swept the board at the 2012 Olivier Awards, winning a record-breaking seven awards. As well as winning the award for Best New Musical, the four young actresses who originated and shared the title role made history by taking home the collective award for Best Actress in a Musical.
The New York production of Matilda The Musical, whichopened in 2013 at Broadwayās Shubert Theatre to rapturous reviews, was awarded the accolade ā#1 Show of the Yearā from TIME Magazine, and won five Tony AwardsĀ®.
The musical follows Matilda, a precocious 5-year-old girl who loves reading and learning, but is suppressed by her TV-obsessed parents who pay her little attention. As she grows up, she begins to resist the challenges and obstacles presented to her, learning that sometimes you have to be a “little bit naughty” in order to get through life. As she begins to master living with her family, her world is thrown into disarray as she starts a new school under the tyrannous grip of headteacher Miss Trunchbull. Seeking solace in the library in a world of her imagination and creation, Matilda forms strong bonds with adults such as librarian Mrs Phelps and her class teacher Miss Honey. Together they give her the confidence to embrace her special gift and individuality which is needed to reclaim her life.
Featuring a smart and witty original score by Olivier Award winner Tim Minchin, alongside an exciting book by Tony AwardĀ®-winning playwright Dennis Kelly, and ingenious staging by Tony AwardĀ® winning director Matthew Warchus and Tony AwardĀ® winning choreographer Peter Darling, the musical adaptation is one of the most successful British musicals of modern times.
The production has sets and costumes by Tony AwardĀ® winner Rob Howell, with orchestrations, additional music and musical supervision by Christopher Nightingale, lighting by Tony AwardĀ® winner Hugh Vanstone, and sound by Simon Baker.
With an incredible cast of young performers, Matilda The Musical inspires and delights audiences both young and old. The timeless story of a small girl’s determination to challenge those above her for the greater good, combined with Roald Dahl’s signature wit and naughtiness, makes this an unforgettable musical.

Data says you can remain high-tech & save hundreds of dollars by dumping your Apple products
A report by iPrice
The existence of so many Apple products that on the surface can seem kind of limited or dumb, but like you & me, all of us havenāt been guilty of being in the ecosystem.
But do we really need to spend all our savings on Apple products to be high-tech? As much as I personally love Apple products, I canāt deny that data says we can save tons of cash as much as S$843 by switching to Samsung.
Yes, another trailing brand thatās close as the best Apple-alternative hardware that has been making strides in developing an ecosystem ā or even better at some recent innovations.
As an aggregator of various products, we dive deep to discover how much you can save from Apple & Samsung products.
What Are the Attractions Outside Apple?
Changing Your OS Saves You S$843
If youāre planning to switch from Appleās ecosystem devices but are deterred by hefty price tags, our historical data shows that you can save as much as 24% (S$843) by changing your operating system from Appleās ecosystem. These devices include a smartphone, laptop, smartwatch, tablet, and earbuds.
Switching over from Appleās ecosystem ā iOS & macOS ā is certainly not an easy task. The incredible integration over devices, such as iMessage, Airdrop, & iCloud data, has been built into the ecosystem to make the transition hard.
However, there are rough edges with Apple hardware that you may have noticed. Itās the control over your devices. Especially when it comes to smartphone & laptop where likely many of us rely upon, Apple doesnāt really give option.
To be precise, there are plenty configurations you could choose from, whether itās a laptop with Intelās core i5 or i7 processors, how much storage you want, and so on.
The smartphone is a vital entry to another ecosystem. Data reveals that you can save 10% (S$120) higher from iPhone X by changing your smartphone to Samsung Galaxy Note 9/10.
With the continuity of the latest smartphones & tech industry that arenāt going to stop growing, other devices are needed to make the most of your smartphone & money you spent on. Otherwise, your smartphone remains as any other smartphone ā a device to take a few photos sometimes.
Take for instances, the capability to back-up your phone, shows picture, and syncs your data, even sending text messages from your computer.
In Singapore, the release of smartphone latest models is found to be the hook of entering the ecosystem. This is evident as we saw the enthusiasm of consumers in search of interest during certain months on Google Trends throughout the year in 2019.
Equally Impressive Laptop
Despite many services you could use in Macbook Pro, our data saw that you can save as much as S$595 by switching to Samsung Notebook 9, a 48% cheaper than Macbook Pro 13 & 15 inches in 2017.
A downgrade? Not necessarily.
For you who are a fan of a good old-fashion USB port & microSD card slot, Samsung Notebook 9 has all the features you asked for before Apple removed them.
While itās not as robust as iMessage & Airdrop, Samsung Notebook 9 provides you with a SyncSide feature where you can respond to texts & notifications seamlessly on your laptop screen. Overall, options are what you get when youāre outside of Appleās lush, walled garden.
Indisputable Wearables & Fitness to Save You More
The average selling price of Galaxy Watch Active witnessed an average of 52% (S$149) cheaper in price in 2019 as compared to Apple Watch Series 4.
While Apple Watch offers many impressive features & improvements such as the electrocardiogram (ECG), we found that Galaxy Watch Active also provides various fitness sensors, including the heart monitor of the user stress level.
Penny Saved is a Penny Earned
Accessories like Galaxy Buds were recorded to have a lower price by 3% (S$6). Completing the entire ecosystem to pair with your smartphone.
Not only the fact that pairing system is perfectly easy, it supports wireless charging by replacing it at the back of your Galaxy Note.
Peek Over Those Walls
What about leaving? The other side on Samsung is great in many ways, even without Appleās ecosystem, you get to pick your own options while remaining on high-tech.
The devices in Samsungās ecosystem is indeed lower in price as compared to Apple. When you combine all of Samsungās hardware, that will recreate the same type of ecosystem that Apple claims is possible outside of Apple.

Indofood, Indonesia’s largest instant noodle company, has launched Indomie Hype Abis Rasa Seblak Hot Jeletot. Originated from Bandung, Indonesia, seblak is made of wet kerupuk (traditional Indonesian crackers) and cooked with meat, eggs and spicy sauce. Seblak comes in many variants depending on the ingredients it is paired with such as macaroni, kwetiau noodle or bakso (meat ball). Seblak can be served wet or dry. Jeletot in the Sundanese language means hot until your eyes popped out.
Indomie Hype Abis Rasa Seblak Hot Jeletot comes under the Hype Abis range, which is a series featuring trending dishes in Indonesia including Ayam Geprek. Indomie Hype Abis Rasa Seblak Hot Jeletot comes with kerupuk, broad noodle (mie lebar), spices and seasonings made from onion, aromatic ginger (kencur) and other ingredients.
In a bid to localise its Korean sauces for the Indonesian market, South Korea’s CJ Foods introduced for the first time KoRasa sauce made from the double fermentation of tempe at the end of 2019. KoRasa (Korea, Kaya Rasa) or “rich Korean taste” is available in Kecap Manis Pedas (Spicy Sweet Soy Sauce) and Saus Pedas Asli (Original Spicy Sauce).
KoRasa is positioned as a Korean sauce but one that is heavily localised (eg spicy sweet soy sauce) and has the nutrient from the double fermentation of tempe, a traditional Indonesian soy product high in protein and iron. Consumers can use KoRasa for their normal Indonesian dishes as well as using it to cook Korean dishes like Ayam Crispy Pedas Madu (Spicy Crispy Korean Chicken with Honey).
Korean fried chicken or Dakgangjeong (ėź°ģ ) is trending in Indonesia, Malaysia and in several other Southeast Asian countries. Dakgangjeong is a deep-fried crispy chicken dish glazed in a sticky, sweet, and spicy sauce. Dakgangjeong is traditionally cooked with gochujang (red chili paste) but in the KoRasa recipe, gochujang can be substituted with KoRasa Original Spicy Sauce. Not all of the gochujang sauces sold in Southeast Asia are halal.
According to KoRasa, the ingredients needed to make Spicy Crispy Korean Chicken with Honey are:
300g of chicken fillet
250g of wheat flour
1 egg
4 garlic
1 spoonful of honey
3 spoonful of KoRasa Original Spicy Sauce
1/5 teaspoon of pepper
CJ Foods’ KoRasa is quite similar to the Adabi Sos Korea (Korean Sauce) in Malaysia, which is a multi-purpose Korean sauce for Korean dishes especially for Korean fried chicken sauce.
The new KoRasa shows the ingenuity of Korean sauce manufacturers in localising their sauce for the local Indonesian market.

The much hyped FGV Holdings Bhd-Samyang Foods Co Ltd proposed collaboration first announced in early 2019 has been shelved. The memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Samyang Foods was for the purpose of establishing Samyang Halalās production facilities in Malaysia focusing to serve Halal ramen and instant noodle products for Malaysia and global markets. In the recent announcement on 24 January 2020, FGV did not provide any reason for the termination of the MOU
It appears Samyang Foods will continue to export its halal instant noodles from South Korea to Muslim markets instead of having them manufactured in Malaysia.
The hype for South Korean instant noodles in Malaysia has receded with an import value of only RM 57.5 million for the first 11 months of 2019 compared with RM 82.2 million for the full year of 2018, according to the Malaysia External Trade Statistics.
