Mamee House, Jonker Street, Melaka

I knew Melaka town like the back of my hand. I could walk and navigate in Melaka better than in Kuala Lumpur, my current home state, and one of my favourite place is the Jalan Tukang Emas and Jalan Hang Jebat; the area better known as the lively Jonker Walk.


There are plenty of tourist attractions in the vicinity of the Jonker Walk. Among them are the Harmony Street where you can find old mosque, temples just beside each other. Symbolic of how harmonious Malaccans are. Situated on the same street are budget hotels and guest houses, pubs, cafes and private museums which charges minimum fees per entry.


I’ve been to plenty of private museums in Jonker Walk. Among them are the Chinese Straits Museum, Cheng Ho Museum and many more, but never really bothered to visit the Mamee House in Jonker Walk.

Fortunately for me, I had the opportunity to visit the Mamee House in Jonker Walk during my previous business trip to Melaka, in conjunction of Mamee’s 45th Anniversary and Mommy’s Day Celebration where they invited bloggers and members of the media to have fun with their children and take a little tour around the museum.

To celebrate ‘Hari Mamee’ Mother’s Day and also the company’s 45th anniversary, the group of media who are mothers were invited with their children to visit and experience Mamee Jonker House that is rich in heritage properties and interactive in a modern interior twist.

We participated in several fun learning activities such as Noodle Doodle and Monster Kitchen where we created and customized our very own Mamee products made from scratch.

Worry No More with Seven Seas

I gave birth to my son at a pretty young age. I was still in college then and it is all trial, error and horror when it comes to raising him. Being young parents, my husband and I always worry on whether we raised our son right, and if we nurture him right.


 photo 20160522_133750_zpsl1axgudn.jpg


As of writing, the boy is now in primary school and is growing up at an amazing speed. One of our major concern is that if he gets all the nutritions that he needed to grow up healthily, considering that he is pretty much an outdoor boy who enjoys all sort of outdoor activities that’s energy consuming.


I spoke to a few mummy friends about my concerns regarding to my child’s progress and nutritional well being, and during the discussion, we disagreed on many things when it comes to parenting ideals, but all of us agreed on one thing, which is eating alone does not provide our children with the essential nutrients that they need to keep up with with their active childhood. Most mothers agree that growing up children needs to be supplemented with superfood or supplements.


Granted, there are plenty of products for children out there, but there is one brand that is particularly good in terms of nutritional values and taste.


 photo 20160522_133448_zpsbmbcax1u.jpg


Seven Seas, a nutritional range of products that aims in helping all parents in the world creates a healthy lifetyle for their children with with great nutrition. My son is now taking these range of Seven Seas products and they are better than good and I would highly recommend it to mothers who are always concern about their children’s nutritional intake.


 photo 20160522_134220_zpshuc6m7bw.jpg


Seven Seas Multi Vitamin Syrup with Cod Liver Oil. This syrup provides essential vitamins and DHA for growing up children. Cod liver oil usually tastes fishy but my son loves this one as the syrup tastes like orange juice. I believe that one of the benefits of this Seven Seas Multi Vitamin Syrup with Cod Liver Oil is that it contains DHA, and helps to boost my son’s focus and concentration.


 photo 20160522_134314_zpsyo51eosi.jpg


Another product from Seven Seas that is my favourite as a mum is Seven Seas Nutri-Trio. It is rich in beta-glucans, CoQ10 and Fibersol. Its natural ingredients provide the body with multiple health benefits, including cholesterol lowering, promote healthy digestion and weight management. Seven Seas Nutri-Trio is enriched with Fibersol, which is proven through studies to contribute to an optimal intestinal function and reduce constipation. It provides a fast, tasty way to lower cholesterol naturally and lead a healthy lifestyle. Highly recommended to mot only children but adults as well. All you need is just two scoops a day and it will help to provide your heart the nutrients it needs for a healthy and active life.


 photo 20160522_134254_zpsmrkuomjz.jpg


Unlike ordinary multivitamins, Seven Seas Bion 3 contains a unique blend of probiotics combined with 12 vitamins and minerals, helping to support your natural metabolism and vitality.The unique sustained-release layer supports energy release from your food throughout the day helping you to perform.The probiotics are protected through the stomach by the coating on the 3 layer tablet which is shown to deliver significantly more of the friendly bacteria to the gut.


 photo 20160522_134028_zpslfsrjrcu.jpg


And last but not least, Seven Seas Kids Multivitamins and Seven Seas Kids Gummies. These are my son’s absolute favourite.


The Seven Seas Kids Probiotic Multivitamin chewable tablets contains 12 Vitamins, 3 Minerals and TriBion Harmonis™, a unique combination of three probiotics that improves your kid’s intestinal microflora and strengthens their natural immune defenses.


Seven Seas Kids Gummies on the other hand comes in three different flavours, which is blackcurrent, strawberry and orange flavours. Each flavours contains different vitamins and mineral. Seven Seas Kids Blackcurrant Gummies contains Vitamin C and Zinc for body defense and immunity. Seven Seas Kids Orange Fruit Gummies contains Vitamin D and Calcium for healthy bones and teeth while Seven Seas Kids Strawberry Gummies contains Vitamin A, B6 and C for healthy growth and development of children.  What’s good about all these gummies is that they are free from artificial colourings, flavourings, sweeteners and preservatives.


 photo 20160522_135134_zpsj8ueyosv.jpg


Seven Seas understands that it is inevitable for a mothers to worry about her children even when she has done her best and the company very much believes in sharing the worries parenthood with all mothers.  As such, the Seven Seas is committed to bringing you the highest quality of nutritional supplements for your children’s good health and has launched a web video to support the Seven Seas #DontWorryMom Campaign in which they will donate RM1 for every unit of Seven Seas kids products sold during a 3 month period (1 April – 30 June 2016) to support the #FreeCanteen programme which provides free meals during recess for underprivileged children.


Seven Seas #DontWorryMom | The constant struggles of motherhood never ends


Take a look at the video above. Wonderful effort, isn’t it? The video is bittersweet and at the same time, pretty heartwarming and quite a tearjerker.


Seven Seas products is available in major pharmacies nationwide and if you are a worrywart mum like me and would like to to support the effort to help provide nourishments to underprivillege children, do get your hands on some Seven Seas products, ya? You will not only help your children to grow up healthily but you will indirectly help the underprivilleged children too.

There are plenty of online shops selling tees, but not all of them are trustworthy in terms of quality. But there is one, however that caught my attention; TEDAWAY.

Ramadan Buffet 2016: Lambaian Selera Utara, Hotel Royal Kuala Lumpur

I grew up in all Northern states of Malaysia and I come to appreciate the fact that it is not easy to find authentic Utara cuisine in Kuala Lumpur, but much to my delight, Hotel Royal Kuala Lumpur, the 20-storey stylish and contemporary city hotel has created a host of exclusive offers to celebrate the Holy Month of Ramadan; a traditional ‘Masakan Utara of Malaysia’ (Northern Cuisine) included four northern States of Malaysia which is Perlis, Penang, Perak and Kedah.


I had the opportunity to sample some of the delectable Ramadan spread offered by Hotel Royal and here’s some not to be missed dishes should you decide to break fast over there this Ramadan.
