Savour the Sweet and Spicy Sensation of The Chicken Rice Shop’s New ‘Ayam Oren‘

If you’re someone who loves a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, you’ll want to check out The Chicken Rice Shop’s new Ayam Oren – a dish that’s bound to satisfy those flavor cravings. I recently had the chance to try it, and I must say, it’s a delightful twist on a familiar classic.

The Ayam Oren brings together the refreshing sweetness of oranges with the warming heat of ginger, creating a sauce that feels both bold and comforting at the same time. The chicken is glazed generously with this vibrant sauce and finished off with toasted sesame seeds, adding a satisfying crunch to every bite. It’s a dish that’s perfect for anyone who loves their food with a little extra kick but still enjoys that comforting, nostalgic vibe.

What I really appreciated about this dish is that TCRS didn’t just stop at offering it as a standalone meal. Whether you’re dining solo or sharing with friends and family, they’ve designed a variety of festive sets to suit every occasion. For those flying solo, the Ong-ly Me Set is perfect, offering the Ayam Oren on its own for just RM21.90. If you’re sharing a meal with someone, the Ong You & Me Setworks wonderfully, while the Ong Like Us Set is ideal for a larger group, serving up to four people.

The Ayam Oren is a great example of how TCRS blends traditional elements with a modern twist. Oranges – traditionally a symbol of prosperity – are reimagined here to create a dish that’s both innovative and familiar. The citrusy sweetness combined with the zesty ginger and that bit of heat really makes this dish stand out.

And if you’re looking for the perfect drink to pair with it, TCRS has introduced the Ong-ren Blissbeverage. It’s a refreshing drink that balances out the dish’s flavors, making it the ideal complement to the Ayam Oren. After trying both, I can honestly say it’s a combination that works beautifully.

The Ayam Oren is available nationwide at all TCRS outlets until 23 February 2025, so there’s plenty of time to try it. If you haven’t already, I highly recommend giving it a shot. It’s a great option for those looking for something flavorful and satisfying – whether you’re grabbing a quick meal or celebrating with loved ones.

OXY Boosts Education with “Sending Love & Care to Children” Campaign for Over 600 Orang Asli Students

Hey everyone!

I wanted to take a moment to share something really close to my heart. As many of you know, OXY has been a staple in my skincare routine since my teenage years. I remember the days of battling acne and navigating those challenging teenage years, and OXY was always there for me, giving me that much-needed boost of confidence. But recently, I discovered a side of OXY that goes beyond just skincare—and it’s truly inspiring.

For the third year running, OXY has been making waves with its ‘Sending Love & Care to Children’ campaign. This initiative has been a game-changer for over 600 Orang Asli students across Selangor. Through a partnership with MyKasih Foundation and Watsons Malaysia, OXY isn’t just focusing on our skin but is also dedicated to transforming the lives of these incredible students.

Last year’s efforts at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Judah (A) were already impressive, with a noticeable increase in student attendance from 69% to 80%. This year, OXY has expanded its support to three additional schools: Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Kemandol (A), Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Tampoi (A), and Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Lanjan (A). It’s heartwarming to see how a skincare brand can have such a profound impact on education and well-being.

The campaign’s not just about textbooks and learning materials. OXY has introduced after-school tutoring to boost basic skills like reading and writing, set up mini libraries to spark a love for books, and even organized a fun sports day to promote physical activity and teamwork. It’s like OXY is wrapping these kids in a big, supportive hug, making sure they have what they need to thrive.

The fundraising effort of RM50,000 is a testament to how much OXY, Watsons Malaysia, and MyKasih Foundation believe in the power of education. This isn’t just a one-time gesture but a long-term commitment to making sure these students have every opportunity to succeed.

I’ve seen firsthand how OXY’s mission goes beyond skincare—it’s about fostering confidence and holistic well-being. Their dedication to these underprivileged children shows that their heart is in the right place. It’s not just about helping teenagers with acne; it’s about making a real difference in the world.

If you’re as moved by this as I am and want to support the cause, check out OXY’s official page for more details on how you can contribute. It’s amazing to see a brand that I’ve grown up with doing so much good and making a lasting impact.

Here’s to OXY for turning their commitment to skincare into a beacon of hope and opportunity. Let’s continue to support and celebrate brands that truly care about making a difference! For more information, visit OXY’s website, https://oxy.com.my/ or their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/OxyMalaysia/. Thanks for reading, and let’s keep spreading the love and care!

My Skincare Routine!

During Ramadan 2024, Cetaphil had an array of engaging initiatives and with that being said, I actually took some products home because they were having such a good deal that was too hard to resist. With extra savings, im giving my skin more than just savings, but basically replenishing my skins needs with healthier skin thanks to Cetaphil’s formulation that’s gentle enough even on sensitive skin.

During the Raya period earlier this year, Cetaphil has this 30. Days kulit sihat challenge which im actually taking on the challenge post raya because why not? Im very much aware that sometimes the skin taken for granted, so im highlighting that theres no harm in giving your skin some TLC with a whole 30 days commitment as it seemed to be a challenge that you should be taking at any time of the year too! That being said, I’m proud to share that I took up that 30 day challenge because I wanted healthy, glowy skin

While I managed to visit one of their roadshows at IOI City Mall Putrajaya, I managed to purchase some Cetaphil products, the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, and the Cetaphil Moisturiser, together with their ultra lightweight sunscreen for myself and really, this is more that enough to give your skin a good reset. Now let me elaborate more on my skincare routine that you can choose to follow if youre looking to reset your skin.

Step 1: Cleanser

One of the OG’s that you should really consider getting is the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. I’ve been using this using my teenage years, and each time when my skin is acting up, it does the trick to give my skin a good reset by removing any impurities without stripping the skin’s layers. It has a gel-like texture, so don’t expect it to foam as much, but really, what I love about this cleanser is that after each cleanse, your skin still feels really moist and hydrated. Did I mention that it provides up to 48 hours hydration in first wash, doesn't strip off skin's natural oil as well.

STEP 2: Serum

After cleansing the skin, I would apply this Bright Healthy Radiance Serum by Cetaphil just to lighten my pigmentation concerns . Its super lightweight when spreading over the skin, and most importantly, I do notice that after 14 days of using this, it allowed me to have this naturally glowing skin. I’ve been facing pigmentation issues, and this really helped me lighten my pigmentation in result giving me glowing skin.

STEP 3 :Moisturize

I never loved moisturizers, but this was an exception because it can be used for both face and body without leaving any sticky residue! It has this very light texture that is well absorbed by the skin, and I just love that it provides this protective layer over the skin keeping the skin hydrated for hours thus preventing any dryness when you’re out and about. After applying this over my face, I would actually apply this around my elbow areas as well cause I’ve been getting cracked dried elbows lately, and this did the trick to giving my elbow that healthy appearance. With 48 hours of hydration, it helps with skin barrier by repairing it in just 1 week.

STEP 4: Sunscreen

And before starting my day, I cant leave the house without using the ⁠Cetaphil Sun SPF50+ Light Gel. Why? Because im in my 30s and sunscreen has got to be one of the most important skincare when it comes to protecting the skin from harsh UV rays. With that being said, always remember to apply sunscreen and use the two finger rule when applying it over the skin. Always remember to protect the skin win sunscreen to prevent aging skin.

Also managed to get my skin analysed previously, apparently my skin is not a fan of the sun

After completing the “30 Hari Kulit Sihat Raya Berseri”challenge, and I must say, my skin has been well-behaved despite the fasting. I love how each day has a difference challenge set by Cetaphil. The campaign itself, reminds you to give your skin some love too. I just love that the skincare steps with Cetaphil have always been minimal, yet still providing my skin and body with all the essential care it needs. 

My skin appearance after my 30 days challenge

And with that, I shall conclude my skincare with these 4 simple steps to practice. ⁠I have no doubts when it comes to Cetaphil as its known to be the No. 1 dermatological skincare brand in Malaysia. And thanks to its Pioneer in researching sensitive skin for over 75 years the brand offers a Core blend of ingredients strengthens the skin barrier, boosting ALL (15) ceramide classes in the skin.
