Crispy Chocolate | Celebrate 50th Anniversary Malaysia’s Home-grown Chocolate Brand

 

Crispy Chocolate, a popular Malaysian chocolate snack, which is marketed to 21 countries, is celebrating its 50^th anniversary.  

To mark this historical milestone, the Network Foods Industries Group is launching a national roadshow that initially kicks off in the east coast States and Klang valley.

The Network Foods group is a member of the Pan Malaysia Corporation Berhad (PMC). Founded in 1973, Crispy Chocolate has withstood the test of time.  Its chocolatey crispy bite has been an unforgettable part of sweet memories for several Malaysian generations.

Commenting on Crispy Chocolate’s 50^th anniversary, PMC Executive Director, Andrew Khoo, said: “For a home-grown chocolate brand to celebrate this milestone is a very proud moment for us.  It is a testament to Crispy’s enduring brand value in a competitive field dominated by established international brands.

Khoo noted that, internationally, fewer than 10 chocolate brands have had a history of 50 years or longer.

Crispy chocolate owes its success to its unique malty taste made of the finest malt, quality cocoa and with oven-roasted rice cereal, making it not just another tasty snack, but wholesome as well.”

Network Foods asserts that Crispy chocolate is classified as a health snack containing low sugar content and dietary fibre. 

As a testament to its healthful quality, Crispy Chocolate has won the Best Kid Snack in the Natural Health Readers’ Choice Award 2022 and the Cocoa Industry special award from the Malaysian Cocoa Board.  It is also certified by the Singapore Health Promotion Board in addition to being certified by Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) and Majlis Ulama Indonesia (MUI HALAL)  Capitalising on its popularity, the Crispy brand has recently launched the Crispy spreads for breakfast toasts and Crispy Popz malt balls for easy snacking. 

The company has also created a Special Crispy Edition range that combines exciting unique Malaysian, Korean and Japanese-inspired flavours. More line extensions of the Crispy range are being considered in future.

Alce Nero | 45 Years of Pioneering Organic and Sustainable Living Celebration

 

Organic produce and foods really took off in the early 2000s, soon after the European Union (EU) countries acquired comprehensive organic legislation in 1992 and the United States’ Foods Production Act 19902 was introduced.

However, way before it was globally accredited or on-trend, Alce Nero began pioneering organic produce and foods in 1978 when two cooperatives of Italian farmers decided to pioneer the organic revolution, producing wholesome food while respecting the environment. Alce Nero combines old farming methods with the most advanced research on health and the environment.

Today, Alce Nero is the No 1 organic brand in Italy. Our producers are involved in all stages of manufacture, thus, we can guarantee high quality, 100% organic, authentically Italian products that can be traced to its origins. The Alce Nero concept is farm-to-table, with as few steps in between as possible. Best of all, these products are grown without pesticides or synthetic chemicals, non-polluting and with no Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) to meet global organic certification standards. All Alce Nero products are certified organic proudly displaying the European Organic Certification and the Japanese Organic Certification.

Fittingly Alce Nero is celebrating its 45th anniversary coinciding with National Organic Month3 in September, and segueing into National Pasta Month in October. Combine these months through Alce Nero for a feast of organic pastas, and produce that are better for you and your family’s health, kinder to the Earth and more sustainable.

While pasta traces its origins to Italy, get creative this National Organic Month and National Pasta Month experimenting with fusion recipes that add elements of your culinary culture to Italian origin organic pasta from Alce Nero.

We have compiled some pasta recipes with distinctly Malaysian tastes to get you started.

Alce Nero Whole Wheat Laksa Carbonara

1https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EU-organic_production-regulation

2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_Foods_Production_Act_of_1990

3 https://www.awarenessdays.com/awareness-days-calendar/organic-september-2023/

Kids, and many adults love carbonara but traditional carbonara can be a bit heavy, and bland to local palates. Alce Nero combines spicy laksa with creamy carbonara for a fusion fantasy that will have you hungry for more.

Cook the Alce Nero Whole Wheat Spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside. Heat a bit of cooking oil in a pan, add the laksa paste and sauté for a few minutes until fragrant. Pour in the Ayam Brand Organic Coconut Milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Slowly drizzle the whisked eggs into the laksa mixture while continuously stirring to create a creamy texture. Add cooked chicken and prawns to the laksa carbonara sauce.

Toss the cooked pasta into the laksa carbonara sauce, ensuring the pasta is well coated. Season with more salt and pepper to taste as needed. Serve the Alce Nero Laksa Carbonara in individual bowls, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro leaves and enjoy.

Prep time: 5 minutes, cook time: 25 minutes, serves: 3-4 pax

Alce Nero Rendang Bolognese

Spaghetti bolognese is for many of us the quintessential Italian pasta, although lacking in the spices that local tastebuds crave. Try Alce Nero rendang bolognese for a fusion of the best of Italian and Malay culinary culture.

Cook the Alce Nero Tricolore Spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside. Heat a tablespoon of Alce Nero Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauteeing until fragrant. Add minced beef to the pan, brown until cooked through, breaking it up as you stir. Stir in the Ayam Brand Rendang Paste, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Cook for five minutes to infuse the flavours.

Add diced carrot and celery to the pan. Cook until the vegetables start to soften. Pour in the Ayam Brand Chopped Tomatoes, Ayam Brand Organic Coconut Milk, beef or vegetable broth, and Ayam Brand Tomato Puree. Stir well and let the mixture simmer over medium- low heat allowing the flavours to meld together and the sauce to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the rendang bolognese sauce over the cooked Alce Nero Tricolore Spaghetti. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves for a burst of freshness & enjoy.

Prep time: 10 minutes, cook time: 40 minutes, serves: 4-5 pax

Alce Nero Stir-Fried Pesto Pasta

Pesto is basically a thicker Hakka lei cha so the fusion element is in the stir-frying of the Alce Nero Stir-fried Pesto Pasta.

Cook the Alce Nero Spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pulse until the ingredients are finely blended. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the Alce Nero Extra-Virgin Olive Oil until the mixture forms a smooth pesto sauce. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Heat butter in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until fragrant and translucent. Add bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini to the pan and sauté for a few minutes until they are slightly tender. Toss the cooked Alce Nero Spaghetti into the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Add the prepared pesto sauce to the pan and mix everything together until the pasta is evenly coated. Cook for an additional couple of minutes to warm up the pesto and combine the flavours. Serve the stir-fried pesto pasta in individual plates, garnished with extra grated Parmesan cheese and enjoy.

Prep time: 10 minutes, cook time: 25 minutes, serves: 4-5 pax

Alce Nero products are available at AEON, Ben’s, Cold Storage, Giant, Jaya Grocer, Village Grocer, TF Value and via the Ayam Brand Shopee Official Store (https://shopee.com.my/ayambrandofficialstore) & Ayam Brand Lazada Official Store (https://www.lazada.com.my/shop/ayambrandofficialstore/)
