Mouse
mommy and kids MR, baby MH were invited to join this Special Ribena
Berrylicious Workshop 2018 with Dr Jezamine Lim Iskandar. That’s one of mouse
mommy’s childhood drinks! Generations of Malaysians have trusted Ribena® since
the beloved blackcurrant drink was introduced to Malaysians 63 year ago! Since
then, mothers have chosen Ribena® to deliver blackcurrant goodness to their
children, in the distinctively berrylicious taste of Ribena®, made from a
special blend of New Zealand blackcurrants that provides all the Vitamin C
needed in a single day, in just one glass.
“The
Ribena® brand is close to the hearts of many Malaysians, and most of us have
fond memories associated with Ribena®, especially of our mothers giving us the
blackcurrant goodness of Ribena®. Nevertheless, even with a beloved brand like
Ribena® that has stood the test of time, there is always something new we can
do to resonate with the mothers of today in a fresh way,” said Ms Corrine Tan,
Senior Brand Manager, Suntory Beverage & Food Malaysia Sdn Bhd (SBFM).
In
one of SBFM’s activities to engage with Malaysian mums and Ribena® fans, SBFM
organised a special Ribena® Berrylicious Workshop to celebrate and demonstrate
the versatility of Ribena®, led by celebrity mum Dr Jezamine Lim Iskander as
the guest host.
During the workshop, guests had the opportunity to learn and
try their hands at making unique Ribena®- infused recipes, from a traditional
Vietnamese roll given a Ribena® twist, to a spinach salad made more fun with
Ribena® and cheese tarts with jelly given the Ribena® touch.
Mouse
mommy has learn up few creative Ribena-infused recipes, named Ribena Bursting
Cheese Tart, Tangy Ribena Salad sauce, Ribena Vietnam Roll Surprise and Ribena
Green Tea. Not forget, the cold and yummy Ribena ice lolly too! Such a creative
ideas!
Mouse
mommy loves the Tangy Ribena Salad sauce that mixture of apple cider vinegar,
Ribena blackcurrant cordial, oive oil, minced garlic, toast sesame seeds into a
jar and mixed well.
Simple and taste nice! Never thought that Ribena can be one
of my salad sauce. Cool idea! MR and baby MH like the taste too.

exciting workshop photos and Ribena-infused recipes can be click here to view. Parents can make all these special Ribena
recipes for your family and kids too! Of course, mommies can DIY your own
creative recipes too with Ribena.
“Through
this workshop, we wanted to offer Ribena® fans versatile new ways to enjoy its
distinct taste and blackcurrant goodness rich in Vitamin C. This workshop
showcases unique new recipes that are more than desserts and drinks. With fun
recipes like the Ribena® spinach salad, perhaps we can even get kids to eat
more vegetables. Preparing food and drinks is also a wholesome family activity
that can bring all ages together, just as love for this time-honoured drink has
united Malaysians for generations,” added Corrine.
Dr
Jezamine also shared her love for Ribena® with the workshop participants. “I
was one of those children who enjoyed the blackcurrant goodness of Ribena®
during my growing-up years. It’s so convenient to be able to get your daily
dose of goodness in such a delicious drink! Today, Ribena® comes in many
variants, even a less sweet option, so I can choose the most suitable treat for
my family. Nevertheless, although the taste of Ribena® is really special on its
own, it’s also eye-opening for me to learn just how versatile Ribena® is,” she
said.

edition Ribena® mini fridge. Congratulations to Lily won it!
“As
a mum of three, I’m spreading my love of Ribena® to my children, so I hope my
kids will join me in expanding our horizons with Ribena®. Preparing food with
my children is one way I’m nurturing and bonding with them through fun and
mentally-enriching activities, besides creating great childhood memories. I’m
looking forward to trying the yummy and wholesome recipes demonstrated today
with my little ones. I think they will certainly enjoy expressing themselves
while decorating the Ribena® cheese tarts with jelly. I hope all Ribena® fans
will also have as much fun in the kitchen with Ribena®,” added Dr Jezamine.

Recently we are having hot weather, MR and baby MH requested to have
ice-blended drinks. In Malaysia’s intense tropical heat, cold drinks are always
in demand. From a young age, our children have enjoyed the cool relief that an
iced drink offers on the hottest days. While they typically consume chilled
cordial drinks or mass-produced juices, there are concerns about the sugar
content of these drinks, with nutritionists recommending that children reduce
consumption of such sweetened drinks[1].
Mouse mommy got a new blender helper - Philips Viva Collection Blender
that comes with Duravita Tritan Jar that 20x stronger, not easily break off.
Cool! That is my concern eventually whenever MR and baby MH eager to be my
little kitchen helpers. My kids love to touch, explore, curious and experience
together to see how the things works! Headache ya sometimes….
The first impression that mouse mommy loves this Philips Viva Collection
Blender with Duravita Tristan Jar is the suction cup at the base of the
blender, it is strong and able to keep the blender stay still on the table.
Mouse mommy was feeling safe to allow my kids to operate on the blender itself.
Besides that, this blender is also easy to operate and easy to clean up.
There are a control knob that in pulse setting mode for ice crushing and speed
setting from minimum to maximum. User-friendly and child-friendly too!
The Duravita Tristan Jar is large with 1250mls capacity with 20x
stronger the Tristan jar material that allows mouse mommy worried-free when my
kids are handling the blender. Eventually mouse mommy was quite reluctant to
allow MR and baby MH to “help out” in blending works, as in experience before
that my kids accidentally drop their water bottles and blender jar, as a result
break off and unable to use anymore, got to fork out money to buy a new one.
Sad… sad…
This round, mouse mommy was happy to let MR and baby MH to be the little
Chefs to make their ice-blended drinks. MR love orange and wanted to make
orange milk smoothies. Baby MH loves apple. Hahaha… my little baby cannot wait
for his turn and start chewing on the apple itself.
Mouse mommy always allows kids to Learn Life Today. Explore, experiment
and experience life together to allow children can learn how things works and
the science behind it.
MR was helping to peeling off the orange skin before putting in to the
blender jar. This is able to train the children motor function. While peeling
off the orange skin, MR also told mouse mommy that the orange aroma smells
good. He was wanted to blend two units of orange with ice, milk and honey.
First of all, MR and baby MH putting in ice cubes, honey and milk, use
pulse setting mode for ice crushing. The ice blending required adequate fluid
in order to works well. Do not put too much of water too, as in the outcome
will be too watery.
Once the ice cubes turn to small in size, MR is putting in the orange to
blend it together. Recommended to peel the orange and section by hand before
put into blender jar for easy blending.
Baby MH was busy to help to blend the
orange milk smoothies. He is enjoying the blending session with brother MR.
After orange milk smoothies done, they are quickly go and get their
favourite The Bare Bear cup to fill up with their yummy smoothies! OMG! MR and
baby MH were enjoying the orange milk smoothies that done by them. Finished!
We love the texture and the taste of the orange milk smoothie. It is
smooth and all the ice cubes are fully blended. Yummy, healthy and nutritious
fruit smoothies drink that we can make it on our own! Last but not least, boys,
you got to help in cleaning too. MR and baby MH also help to clean up the
table. Good boys!
Mr Muhammad Ali Jaleel, Country Manager of Philips Malaysia also shared
that “Food preparation can be a fun way for parents to bond with children,
besides teaching them about nutrition and training them to be handy in the
kitchen – definitely a useful life skill. Routine kitchen tasks such as
blending ingredients can become an exciting adventure when you have an
extraordinary tool to use. With the Philips Viva Collection Blender, you can
get creative and have a lot of fun making healthy and refreshing smoothies. Its
highly durable and shatterproof Duravita Tritan jar frees you from worry even
if the kids are helping. There’s no fear of having to replace the blender jar
if it is accidentally knocked over.”
Other that using fresh fruits, delicious frozen smoothie by frozen
fruits could just be the thing that hits the spot. No more difficult to prepare
at home, this all-in-one blender that efficiently combines all ingredients and
crushes ice speedily to make the perfect frozen smoothie in no time at all, and
we can complete control of all ingredients to boot. Awesome!
Since this Philips Viva Collection Blender with Duravita Tristan Jar can
make nice and smooth fruit smoothies, mouse mommy also would like to make baby
food by using it. Mouse mommy has prepare rice, chicken, vegetables and potato
to blend together with cool boiled water.
After that can put in breastmilk bottle and keep in the freezer,
recommended to be consumed within 1 to 2 days. This is some tips from mouse
mommy that hope that benefit to mommies with baby above 4 months old and start
to weaning and consume solid food.
Mouse mommy also a working mom and understand that food preparation for
our baby is not an easy task. The earlier that our kids explore to more foods,
vegetables and fruits with different texture and taste. The more likely they
will be easily accepted the wide range of food taste and do not become picky
eater. Therefore, mouse mommy will blend the food that we are having and put in
the breastmilk bottle and keep in the freezer.
The next day, mouse mommy will send chilled breastmilks together with
frozen baby blend food to nanny house. Nanny was only required to warm up to
the frozen baby blend food for about 30 minutes and directly served from the bottle
itself. Clean and hygiene technique is to avoid food contamination issue. Hope
helpful tips for mommies especially working mom.
The Philips Viva Collection Blender HR2157/91 is enhanced with blades
that use ProBlend 5 technology, enabling you to crush ice 20% faster compared
to other blenders. This means you no longer have to use tough, knuckle-cracking
methods like hammering or pounding to break up blocks of ice. What’s better, this
blender comes with the Duravita Tritan jar, made of copolyester that adds
strength, versatility and flexibility to the jar. With this added element, the
blending jar is shatterproof and will not smell or stain, leaving it easily
washable and as good as new after every wash. It can also withstand the
pressure and velocity of blending solid ingredients such as ice and hard types
of vegetables or fruits.
