This time around, eating well and drinking well is really important to ensure that you stay well-balanced with good eating and drinking habits to stay healthy! Every since we've been home since MCO happened in Malaysia, eating and drinking has been super clean as it is mostly homemade. However, recently my husband has to go back to work in the office on alternate days, therefore his company insisted all the staffs to minimize contact with the outside world as much as possible when in the office and to bring food from home to eat for lunch.


Because of this, thanks to the runaway success of Guardian Malaysia’s Travel Series collaboration with tokidoki, the internationally recognised and iconic lifestyle brand in October of last year, Guardian Malaysia today launched the Guardian Exclusive tokidoki Thermal Series
promotion. As you know, tokidoki is a brand that has achieved a global cult-like following with its colourful, eye-catching, larger-than-life characters and art-form created and designed by Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer Simone Legno.

This promotion, which coincides with the holy month of Ramadhan, is meant to encourage customers to eat and drink healthily. As the saying goes, ‘Health is Wealth’ and especially when health around the world is constantly threatened by the discovery of new viruses and other diseases, we need to pay attention to what we eat so that we fortify ourselves against illness.
With this exclusive Guardian tokidoki Thermal Series, I can now pack my husband's delicious
and healthy home-cooked food and drinks for him when he goes back to working in the office. Also, as a parent, I can ensure a healthy meal for my children when and if they start schooling soon because
these thermal ware will keep the food warm or cool as I wish.


The Thermal Flask and Food Jar are double-walled and can keep food & drinks cold for 10 to 12 hours or warm for 8 to 10 hours. Their cool, hip and trendy design also makes them a desirable collector’s item especially among millenials. At another level, Guardian is also especially proud to be doing something to help the environment by encouraging our customers to use these thermal containers, thereby indirectly reducing packaging and plastic waste that comes from packing food and drinks for take away.


The Guardian Exclusive tokidoki Thermal Series contains a Thermal bag, Thermal Flask (350ml) and a Thermal Food Jar (500ml). Customers can obtain the whole set of three items at an attractive price of RM80 per set if they spend RM20 and above with participating brands in a single receipt or RM40 and above without participating brands in a single receipt. This exclusive collection can also be purchased with online purchases at Guardian’s online store at www.guardian.com.my and have them delivered right up to their doorsteps together with their online orders.


As the Guardian Exclusive tokidoki Thermal Series is limited-edition, purchases are on a first-come, first-served basis and will be available from 1 May until stocks last at all Guardian outlets in Malaysia. The main sponsors for this promotion are Bio-essence, Garnier, Clairol Herbal Essences,
Maybelline, Nanowhite and Sunsilk while the co-sponsors are Energizer, Flavettes, Libresse,
L’Oreal (Hair), Shokubutsu, Scott’s and Systema.

Today at DaMen Mall USJ, the first ever Largest Culinary Competition was held by Smart Junior Chef for kids in Malaysia.


Incase you are unaware, Smart Junior Chef is a fun place to let your kids learn and be explosed to baking and cooking where they explore their hidden talents and find interests in the kitchen. It's basically a place where your kids learn baking from scratch!

This competition held today, is an annual event held to showcase the pure and raw baking and cooking talent in the children participating today and how they build their creativeness on food. Smart Junior Chef creates recipes that is fun to learn together with the chefs. Not only that, they make it so simple when teaching the children to bake or cook with their recipe and it truly educates the child to take up this life skill and make it more fun by being creative, artistic and even sometimes magical!

Smart Junior Chef works towards their goal to inspire these children to acknowledge and improve their talents, learn to understand their responsibility and be independent, which helps in boosting self-esteem in these children whilst enabling a healthy learning environment for the children to be creative, self-discipline, work independently or work together as a team and to be patient.


Through cooking, a child can learn the different ingredients, shapes, sizes, colours, textures and portions needed and even taste! So it can be a really fun thing to do and rewarding when they have the opportunity to learn the taste, feel and small of their very own cooking. Hence, Smart Junior Chef aims to influence and inspire children from a very young age of 4 years onwards to be creative and explore their hidden potential in the kitchen.


My son's first trial class at Smart Junior Chef Bandar Kinrara [you can read here] really made a difference in his life and it piqued his interest in cooking in the kitchen with me everyday since then.
I remember that he learns to bake from scratch for the first time which made him truly enjoy the journey. There were no shortcuts to baking for my son because Smart Junior Chef believes that it's good to allow the child to do it by their own self and learn from scratch as there are no shortcuts nor ready-made recipe available. It is a fun and time-rewarding process that teaches basic skills and educational at the same time too.


It is a valuable lesson to have your kids learn as this is a life-long skill by learning to bake and cook. Smart Junior Chef has 3 branches in Klang Valley, Selangor and this would be the perfect time to expose your kids to wonderful culinary skills in their life.
