Zipping into More Chocolate and Better Wafer with Cadbury

Cadbury Malaysia, under the global food company Mondelēz International, has launched its all-new Cadbury Zip. This delightful snack comes with an improved, mouth-watering new recipe as part of the brand’s strategy to refine their line of products. With Malaysians staying at home for most parts of the day due to current circumstances, these sticks of goodness can be enjoyed by everyone in the family, used in dessert recipes or even served as the perfect tea time snack to have with friends over Zoom to Zip through dull moments.

So what’s different with this new Cadbury Zip as compared to its predecessor? The original chocolate base is now replaced with Malaysia’s favourite smooth & creamy Cadbury Dairy Milk. It is also enhanced with 20% more chocolate than before as the new recipe ensures every bite is packed with chocolatey goodness. Not stopping there, Cadbury also developed a recipe to ensure the wafer is consistently crispy to guarantee a satisfying crunch that perfectly complements the chocolate in every bite.

The all-new Cadbury Zip comes in refreshed pack sizes with a striking red ‘Z’ splashed across the iconic purple packaging.

It is available on Shopee at the price of RM1.00 for Cadbury ZIP Trial Pack, RM1.90 for Cadbury ZIP Big Singles, RM 4.70 for Cadbury ZIP Value Multipack and RM9.90 for Cadbury ZIP Sharebag.

Reach For Optimal Growth Potential With The All-New Dutch Lady Maxgro

According to the National Health and Morbidity Survey 2019 (NHMS 2019) released by the Ministry of Health, Malaysia, the prevalence of stunting and underweight in children under five years of age in Malaysia has increased from 17.7% in 2015 to 21.9% in 2019. A study conducted by the South East Asian Nutrition Survey (SEANUTS) in 2012 also revealed that 1 out of 2 children in Malaysia did not achieve the Recommended Nutrient Intakes (RNI, 2017) for Calcium and Vitamin D³, both are important nutrients for bone growth.

In ensuring our future generations have sufficient nutrition, Dutch Lady Milk Industries Berhad (DLMI), Malaysia’s leading dairy company, launched its first milk based formula dietary food DUTCH LADY MaxGro. DLMI also unveiled a new campaign to complement the launch of its latest innovative product. Themed Cita-Cita Tinggi Mampu Dimiliki, the campaign aims to raise awareness of Malaysian children’s nutritional needs and promote regular height tracking to ensure their ambitions to grow taller and healthier are achieved, thus meeting their optimal growth potential.

Specially formulated to provide children with 80% of the recommended nutrient intake (Malaysia RNI 2017), DUTCH LADY MaxGro is suitable for children aged 1 - 9 years old and it is packed with essential nutrients to help them meet the requirements of a well-balanced and complete diet. This latest innovation by DUTCH LADY contains 9 Essential Amino Acids (9EAA) — which are the building blocks in Protein for bones and muscle growth, Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), Calcium — for strong bones, and Vitamin D — for aiding Calcium absorption. Other nutrients that can be found in DUTCH LADY MaxGro include Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Vitamin A, E, K1, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 and C — to support children’s optimal growth and development.

“The DUTCH LADY brand has been building strong families for more than 50 years, and we want to fulfill our purpose of nourishing Malaysians by introducing nutritious dairy products to our consumers,” said Tarang Gupta, Managing Director, DLMI. “And to keep up with the everyday needs of Malaysians, we strive to formulate a new offering that tastes great and at the same time bring the best value to our consumers. Our latest milk offering, DUTCH LADY MaxGro, is a testament to our ambition to help Malaysian children embark on their journey of proper nutrition for a healthier and better future,” he added.

As Malaysia’s leading dairy company, DLMI, further dialed up the ante by introducing MaxGro Growth Tracker application, a growth tracking tool that helps parents to keep track of their children’s development and growth progress at the virtual launch. Aside from tracking a child’s Physical Growth, the application also allows parents to monitor their children’s Cognitive Growth, check their Immunisation Schedule, update their Teething Log, and much more. The MaxGro Growth Tracker app was developed for parents to help their children reach their ambition to grow taller and healthier with ease, and is available on Google Play for free.

Zatur Hassim, Marketing Director, Specialised Nutrition, DLMI, highlighted that the key findings from frequent surveys done with Malaysian mothers help us understand their concerns about their children’s growth. “Based on our observations, apart from seeking milk offerings that can provide complete nutritional support for their children’s growth, Malaysian mothers also looked for convenient ways to keep track of their children’s growth progress. This is why the DUTCH LADY brand took this proactive role in developing a growth tracking tool – to make it more accessible to all parents in Malaysia. Echoing the aim of our campaign, we wanted to amplify the message of Cita-Cita Tinggi, Mampu Dimiliki — which translates to high ambition or ambitions to grow tall that is within reach,” she added.

Tested by a lineup of real Malaysian mothers:

• 99% would recommend DUTCH LADY MaxGro to their friends and family
• 96% agreed their child loves the taste of DUTCH LADY MaxGro, and
• 98% agreed after drinking DUTCH LADY MaxGro, their child has no digestion issues.

The survey was done in collaboration with the Home Tester Club in Malaysia.

Also present at the virtual launch event, was Dr Azam Mohd Nor, Consultant Pediatrician from Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur. According to Dr Azam, height is a key indicator of a child’s health, and poor nutrition is a pervasive issue in Malaysia. One of the best ways to address malnutrition is through consumption of nutrient-dense milk and for parents to consistently measure their children’s height and growth to ensure that they are growing healthily.

Support your child’s optimal growth potential with the all-new DUTCH LADY MaxGro, found at key retail outlets nationwide. For more information, please visit www.smartmoments.com.my and request for a complimentary sample now.

Elevate your Chinese New Year Hot Pot with Anchor Extra Yield Cooking Cream

With the upcoming Chinese New Year festivity, Anchor Food Professionals has once again created inspirational recipes to encourage everyone to celebrate the occasion by elevating their dinner experience! A reunion dinner or meal with family on the eve of the annual Lunar New Year has been a tradition among Chinese families especially during the festive season. Many families prepare hot pot (also commonly known as steamboat) for their reunion dinners as it is easy to prepare at the comfort of their own homes and a great way to usher in the new year. 

“We do understand that travel restrictions continue during Chinese New Year and many families will miss their families’ reunion dinner back at their hometowns. But we hope this will not stop CNY celebrants from enjoying their favourite reunion dish, which is the traditional steamboat that comes in various soup base and a wide selection of proteins and vegetables. With technology, celebrants will still be able to enjoy these gatherings virtually instead” said Jack Tan, Fonterra Brands Malaysia’s Foodservice Director. 

He continued: “To inspire the celebration of food and their favourite dish during the CNY occasion, we have specially developed a hot pot recipe using Anchor Extra Yield Cooking Cream as the key ingredient to elevate the soup base for a richer flavour and silky mouthfeel!” 

“Our Anchor Extra Yield Cooking Cream is a versatile, pre-reduced dairy cream that is not only suitable to add into clear soup base like chicken broth; it can also be added to spicy soups such as Tom Yum and Mala,” Tan added. 

Anchor Extra Yield Cooking Cream is made from fresh New Zealand cream that gives the ideal base in cooking. It requires no reduction, is heat-stable and produces no caking or drying. It retains a full, natural dairy flavour to create great pasta dishes easily and consistently. Usually used for creamy pasta, cream soup and purees, Anchor Extra Yield Cooking Cream is great for local cuisines. It is acid stable and doesn’t split in sour, acidic (low pH) and spicy recipes, great for curry noodles and even local desserts such as ‘kuih’. 

“All you need is just add in Anchor Extra Yield Cooking Cream into your hot pot soup base in order to enjoy a different hot pot experience with family and loved ones at home! We recommend to add in 100 grams of Anchor Extra Yield Cooking Cream for every two litres of soup base, bring it up to simmer, check seasoning and it’s ready to cook your hot pot condiments. For those who would like it creamier, you may add more Anchor Extra Yield Cooking Cream too,” said Tan. 

Anchor Food Professionals has a long history of supplying restaurants, cafes and bakeries with the natural, grass-fed New Zealand dairy, enabling them to meet customer demand for great tasting food.  Anchor Food Professionals is proud to share this high-quality dairy product with Malaysian’s nation-wide to enjoy.
