Gula Apong Desserts at Oh Apong Cafe

March 4, 2022May 10, 2023 dixonthum

Hey buddies!

Have you heard of gula apong before? Well, gula apong is actually a kind of sweet substance produced from the sap of nipah palm tree commonly found in Sarawak. Taste-wise, gula apong is less sweet compared to refined sugar with hints of salted caramel flavour, and is high in minerals and vitamins.

I learned about this from a cafe I recently visited called 𝗢𝗵 𝗔𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗳𝗲 in Emporis, Kota Damansara.

I’ve had a great dining experience there. The ambience was cozy and relaxing with soothing deco and interior. 💯% insta-worthy.

I was introduced to their must-try item, the 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗴 soft serve ice-cream, which was really delicious – rich but not too sweet, with a smooth consistency and creamy texture, topped with crunchy bits of coconut flakes.

For pastry, I had a 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝘂 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲. This is the bomb! Crunchy and flaky puff pastry with moist dark chocolate filling in the centre. Every bite feels like heaven. Yes! Approved by yours truly, a hardcore fan of chocolate! 🤤

Another pastry which I strongly recommend is the 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗢𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗶. It’s got creamy custard on the inside, with crunchy burnt sugar on the outside. Full of surprises, this is definitely a must-try!

I also had a cup of 𝗜𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲 to chill with, perfect for my coffee break! 😁 I like the aroma and taste very much. Perfect combination of milk and espresso, mixed with melted gula apong to taste.

Digital Oil Painting by The Creative Factory

February 24, 2022May 10, 2023 dixonthum

I got a very meaningful gift for my parent-in-laws. They live in Penang and I was looking for a gift that is special to represent my love to them since we live very far away and could not stay with them most of the time.

Hence I sent a photo of us we took during our last trip to Batu Ferringhi to @the_creative_factory_my to be recreated as a digital painting. Just in time for CNY, I received the beautiful digital painting before I drove back to Penang the other day. My parent-in-laws were very touched and love the painting very much. The precious moment was captured on camera when we did the unboxing together.

Do checkout and follow @the_creative_factory_my for more information about their products and services.

Get a digital painting with good quality at only RM88, as a gift to your loved ones. It can be a family portrait, parents’ old time photo, childhood photo or even someone who is no longer here.

New Pet Food for Bobby – Equilibrio

February 22, 2022May 10, 2023 dixonthum

I think I haven’t feature my family pet dog enough on my social media so far. Well, this is Bobby. He has been with us for more than 10 years. He takes care of our house very well. To others, Bobby is a pet dog but to us, he is family.

Lately we introduced a new pet food brand to Bobby called Equilibrio Dog for Adult Medium Breed by @equilibriomalaysia.

Little did we know before this, Equilibrio is actually a super premium pet food brand with products of high nutritional value, prescribed by professionals including veterinarians! It is made of high quality ingredients and contains the perfect amounts of vitamins, probiotics, prebiotics, proteins and minerals.

As Bobby is already a full grown adult, it needs the right amount of nutrition in order to keep it strong and healthy.

I believe Equilibrio is the right brand for him as this brand is constantly investing in research and technology to develop foods with high nutritional value for dogs and cats. It has one of the most modern industrial parks in the world. I also got to know that the brand maintains partnership with Brazilian and North American researches and veterinary to develop innovative and safe pet foods.

I am confident that Bobby can maintain its health with the right food from a great brand like Equilibrio.
