REVIEW ON OSAENG BOGAM WANT SOUND POWDER

Hi beautiful,

Few months ago, I bought something interesting from Korea.  It is increase the lung capacity to enable you to sing.  I guess probably some Korean idols took this secretly 😁.  Anyway, I am down for safe stuff that will enable me to at least sing.   I got this because I can't sing and my voice just sound even worst than a frog.

So, I pretty much want to just if there is anything to save my horrible voice and see if I can without sounding like mouse and embarassing myself.

So here it the OSAENG BOGAM Want Sound Powder .

It is to relax your vocal cord and able adjust the pitch more comfortably.  Magnesium and vitamin B6 to increase lung capacity.

HOW TO USE
Consume 1 stick without water when your throat feels sore.

Consumer 1 stick 15-20minutes earlier before singing.

Packaging: It comes in a nice blue box with 10 sticks inside the box.

Ingredients talk: 

Ingredients:

Dextrose, magnesium oxide, malic acid, Quince extract powder(Korea) extract, dextrin, Arabia gum}, menthol fragrance powder(dextrin, menthol, silicon dioxide), L-menthol, Quince incense powder{dextrin, quince incense(propylene glycol, artificial quince fragrance, ethanol, natural quince fragrance), Arabia gum}, enzyme treated stevia, silicon dioxide, taurine, vitamin B6 HCl, vitamin B12 mixture(maltodextrin, trisodium citrate, citric acid, vitamin B12)

The food grade ingredients look like it is best if you have eaten something before that.  It is not good to have it on an empty stomach.  Quince is actually a Korean fruit that looks like some pear but it is cooked to unlock its potential benefits.

Texture&Taste: It comes as in very fine opaque white powder.  I pour the powder into my mouth.  It takes about two times to swallow the whole packet.  It is sweet with minty feeling up to the end.  My mouth is full of this refreshing mint in my mouth.  The mint feeling continues down my throat too.  It does relief sore throat, sooth the throat and has minth feeling.  It similar to eating strong mint sweet.

Review: I do like this mint refreshing relief of the throat before singing or using voice for long time.  It keeps the throat sooth.  The effect last for about 3-4 hours.  It doesn't change your pitch to octave.  It does help to have more 'power' to sing songs.  Since I can't sing at all, this helps me to sing some classic but of course I still can't pull that "I will survive" song.

Overall: I think this is an interesting powder for helping those that need to use their voice for a long period of time.  At least I can eat this and sing some simple song.

WALLS ASIAN DELIGHT DURIAN ICE CREAM

Hi beautiful people,

You can guess how much I love the King of Fruit by now.  So when I saw this next to the Mochi Durian which I really like, I just had to get this Walls Asian Delight Durian ice cream too. After all, I love ice cream and durian.

Walls Asian Delight Durian ice cream

Packaging: It comes in a plastic wrapping with ingredients listed in English and Bahasa.  It comes in stick kind of ice cream which makes it easy to hold.

Ingredients talk: It has coconut milk as the first ingredients.  This ice cream use Monthong – Golden Pillow which is from Thailand.  This type of durian is more least pungent in the aroma and also sweeter.

It has caramel colouring. The synthetic flavouring is coconut.

Texture: It does melt fast in our kind of 35Celcius room temperature.  It taste like coconut milk with durian ice cream.  Subtle durian scent with coconut milk fragrance.

Review: I guess this ice cream is for those that like coconut milk ice cream with slight durian flavour.  They do use real durian.  It taste pretty good actually.

Overall: Not sure if I will buy again since I don't really like coconut milk with durian ice cream.  The only time I have coconut milk is either in my cookies, curries or nasi lemak.

HOW TO MAKE HIBISCUS SABDARIFFA JAM AND JUICE

Hi beautiful people,

This is the new age where vampires no longer are into Elizabeth Bathrory unhygienic bloody extraction method.  The new Vampire vegan source is more sustainable and clean.☺ The Korean called it Hibiscus sabdariffa tea which is also known as roselle plant.  It is also known as many other names such as bissap (national drink of Senegal), Karkadé, agua de flor de Jamaica popular in Mexico, Cental America, Thailand and the Caribbean.

It is also has been used traditionally for its medicinal value that help with high blood pressure, wounds and ulcers and colds.

I do like it because 100g of hibiscus tea contains 47% iron and 30% vitamin C and taste just like cranberry.


So here is a recipe on how to make Hibiscus sabdariffa jam and juice for youthful skin.

Hibiscus sabdariffa plant

Hibiscus sabdariffa fresh plant

Hibiscus sabdariffa jam

Hibiscus sabdariffa tea 

Hibiscus sabdariffa juice

Recipe for the juice (not sweet)

500g Hibiscus sabdariffa

100g sugar

1000ml amount of water

Recipe for jam:

500g Hibiscus sabdariffa

400g sugar

Steps (for the juice) :

1. Wash the Hibiscus sabdariffa thorougly.

2. Remove the seed inside the flower.

3. Put in Hibiscus sabdariffa, water and then sugar.

4. Boiled.

5. Pour the juice to another container.

Steps (for the jam) :

6.  Once there is only Hibiscus sabdariffa left, add in the sugar.

7.  Stir it until all melted.

8. Cool it down.

9. Store it inside the a container.

Taste&texture:  In drinks without sugar it is usually just sour.  My family will just boil it with sugar and then put inside the fridge so that it will taste so much better.  In hot tea, it is slightly sourish.  You can make it into jelly since it won't turn into jelly if you use the fresh hibiscus.

Tips: Try not to use too little sugar for the jam or the jam will mould very fast.

REVIEW ON NESTLE MUSANG KING ICE CREAM

Hi beautiful people,

This current new life is making me stress eating to keep myself sane.  When this Nestle Musang King Ice Cream came out, I just need to get this because I love durians.

Musang King is one of varieties of durian available.  It is considered one of the popular and pricey durian because of the very fragrant durian scent.  The flesh is not as much as some of the other durians that I know.  Translated directly to English it means Fox King.

Also, no we do not pluck durian from the trees because can you see that it is full of thorns? Unless you enjoy the thrill of raining thorny balls, one can't pluck Durian from the trees.

Nestle Musang King Ice Cream

Nestle Musang King Ice Cream

Nestle Musang King Ice Cream

Nestle Musang King Ice Cream

Packaging:  It comes in a nice pint 750ml and written made with REAL durian Musang King.  Ingredients and everything is written in English and Bahasa. 

Ingredients talk: I am actually disapointed by the words Real Durian Musang King when there is only like 5.6% inside😡.  I am livid when I see colouring and flavouring on the list😭.  The first ingredient is oil palm.

Texture: It is very smooth, nice and smells really good of Musang King Durian if you don't know what is actually inside.

Review: It is pretty smooth, taste like Durian ice cream and not the real Durian.  After 30minutes I still burp out durian scent.  I mean for a 750ml and RM25 of course it is justified.

Overall: This is probably going to be my first and the last I am buying this since I dislike added synthetic colouring and added synthetic flavouring in my ice cream.  If they get rid of that, I can probably consider to buy it again in the future.

FOOD REVIEW ON MINCHER SALTED YOLK PASTRY

Hi foodies,

I like salted yolk food items especially salted yolk fried chicken.  So when I saw this at the isle for Taiwanese snacks, I got it along with some food items which I already ate them all up. 😆

So here is the Mincher Salted Yolk Pastry from Taiwan.

Mincher Salted Yolk Pastry

Mincher Salted Yolk Pastry

Mincher Salted Yolk Pastry

Finely layered cripsy cookies, rich eggy flavor

Packaging: Very nice cute matte packaging.  Inside are individual packaging of 12 pieces.  It has everything written in Chinese and English.

Anyway, I don't see Halal chop on it so not sure if it is safe for Muslim. 

Ingredients: 

Wheat flour, palm oil, sugar, salted yolk, flavor, salt

The ingredients are the usual ingredients for baking.  It is vegetarians.

Review:   The pastry comes in one individual bite size.  I was able to get 2 bites from it.  The pastry is slight crispy for pastry.  It is not the crispiness coming from potato chips or the type with one bite, the pastry will break into many pieces.  It does have slight scent of egg yolk.  It is not too sweet.

Overall: Mincher Salted Yolk Pastry is an okay salted yolk pastry.  Taiwanese pastry tend to be a bit more tone down compare to the one from Hong Kong and Malaysia.
