Garrett Popcorn Mid-Autumn Festive Gift Set

Celebrate Mid-Autumn with Jade Rabbit Tins encased in Garrett Popcorn Mid-Autumn Gift Set!

The Mid-Autumn festive season is near and we’re all looking forward to celebrating with family and friends. Step away from the typical traditions, I plan to share this Mid-Autumn season with loved ones by gifting them Garrett Popcorn’s exclusive Mid-Autumn Gift Set!

Garrett Popcorn, our all-time-favorite from Chicago, USA, is offering the return of the fan favorite Matcha CaramelCrisp together with their signature Chicago Mix encased in two beautiful blue ‘Jade Rabbit Tins’, set in Garrett’s signature blue 2016 limited edition gift box.

Back due to popular demand after its launch in March, the Matcha CaramelCrisp is made using harada matcha sourced from one of the finest area for tea in Japan – Shizuoko prefecture. Luscious, intense matcha flavors with just the right bittersweet note, coupled with crunchy caramel popcorn is great for this festive Mid-Autumn season. Let’s not forget the all-time-favorite sweet CaramelCrisp and salty CheeseCorn mix of the delectable Chicago Mix, my favorite of course, that is the perfect snack for anytime of the day. Serve them with tea this season to join in the festive cheer…

I simply adore the Jade Rabbit Tins! The whimsical motifs of bunnies on fluffy clouds set against a backdrop of the golden full moon, definitely evokes the famous scenery of Chinese fable of Chang Er, the mythical moon maiden and her rabbit companion. The embossed motif, beautifully reminiscing the season’s mooncakes on the gold tin lids added much elegance to the tins as well. 

The tins are definitely a keeper as the size is great for jewelry and keepsakes once the popcorn is finished. Even the box warrants a keepsake with its gorgeous blue and gold on the outside and its sweet rose red on the inside.

This Mid-Autumn season, celebrate the new spirit of giving through Garrett Popcorn Mid-Autumn Gift Set. Whether you are sharing the delectable flavors of Matcha CaramelCrisp and Chicago Mix as a complement to the traditional gifting of mooncakes or simply gift it on its own, the gift set is a great merriment of a new year of Mid-Autumn and many more festive season to come.

The limited edition Mid-Autumn Gift Set and Matcha CaramelCrisp will be available at all Garrett Popcorn Shops from August 19 to September 30, 2016 while stocks last. Priced at RM54 per gift box, there are only 300 gift sets in Malaysia this festive season.

Garrett Popcorn Goes Green with New Limited Flavor – Matcha CaramelCrisp

For The Love of Green Tea, Garrett Popcorn Takes on Matcha Flavor!

Garrett Popcorn originates from Chicago, USA, but that doesn’t mean they only have classic American flavors. Garrett fans will be thrilled to know that the gourmet popcorn is taking on an Asian flavor in their New Limited Recipe – Matcha CaramelCrisp. Available at all shops from 16 March to 10 April, 2016, Matcha CaramelCrisp is set to tempt popcorn fans with a luscious matcha note.

Matcha, or green tea powder, is rich with antioxidants. Matcha can also boosts metabolism and calms the mind, relaxes the body and enhances one’s mood.

Quality has always been Garrett’s top priority. Using the finest quality of ingredients without preservatives, Garrett continues its legacy through its new flavor. Using harada matcha sourced from one of the finest tea growing areas in Japan – Shizuoko prefecture, Garrett takes pride in developing the new Matcha CaramelCrisp with the goal of having a strong matcha flavor without compromising on the signature flavor of CaramelCrisp. So ‘Aki Matcha’ green tea powder is chosen to be the best match for the luscious CaramelCrisp.

Garrett Popcorn has always been my little secret addiction. Juggling a family, full-time work and blogging is not impossible but can be quite a feat. So, to treat myself and my family every now and then, I enjoy indulging in the premium popcorn handmade daily in copper kettles. The three of us have our very own favorite Garrett Popcorn flavor but we are always game to try new ones.

It’s always a good time when it comes to savoring Garrett! We have taken Garrett Popcorn on our road trips, as gifts for family and friends, to parties and potlucks and more. It has always been a crowd pleaser. My family and I enjoy Garrett Popcorn in the comfort of our home, sometimes as snack, sometimes as dessert. We will definitely have a tin of Garrett Popcorn by our side for movie nights.

We also have game nights with our little one and there’s no better time to enjoy some treat of Garrett Matcha CaramelCrisp during this time. A game of Domino Tornado certainly works up one’s appetite for the crunchy balls of delectable sweet popcorn. Though I was a bit hesitant that my little one would not like matcha flavor, all is put to an ease when he took a few and continue to pop them in his mouth happily.

The new Matcha CaramelCrisp is wonderfully aromatic with an intense and lush green tea aroma. The matcha flavor really stands up to the caramelized note of the CaramelCrisp. I can taste a delicious bold matcha note and also a deep richness from the caramel on the popcorn. The very distinctive bittersweet matcha taste also heightens and balances up the richness of the signature CaramelCrisp very well, so much so, the Matcha CaramelCrisp is less sweet but more moreish in flavor.

It’s a great flavor that many should try. Uniquely intense with matcha, there really is no others like this in the market. There is a certain freshness and familiar sensation when enjoying the Matcha CaramelCrisp, possibly also due to the fact that I enjoy matcha a lot. Surprisingly, my little one was enjoying his usual favorite beverage of soy bean milk that evening when we had our first taste of Matcha CaramelCrisp and we found that this flavor really matches so well with the soy bean milk. The creamy and milky nutty soy note seemed to match really well with the intense and bittersweet crunchy popcorn. I think another great pairing of beverage would be milk too since matcha and milk has always been a great match.

Since Matcha CaramelCrisp is only available for a limited time, one should definitely head on over to the many Garrett Popcorn Shops to try this new flavor. Garrett Popcorn only makes limited batches of Matcha CaramelCrisp each day due to freshness and quality control. So make sure you don’t miss the new flavor of Matcha CaramelCrisp this month before its finishes!

A Golden Prosperous Chinese New Year with Garrett Popcorn

Garrett Popcorn Shops® Brings Sweetness to You with CNY Festive Tins

Festive season is all about sharing precious moments together, creating new memories and of course indulge in all sort of goodies! This Chinese New Year (CNY), it’s the year of the Red Fire Monkey and Garrett Popcorn is celebrating this season with specially designed festive 2016 Year of the Monkey Tins decorated with auspicious red stripes and whimsical monkey motifs.

Garrett Popcorn, a Chicago tradition since 1949 from USA, has always been a gourmet popcorn favorite of mine and my family. The reasons are purely simple. Every batch of Garrett Popcorn is handmade daily, using traditional methods, in copper kettles. Ingredients are of the finest quality and there are no preservatives. Once you have had a taste of Garrett Popcorn, you’ll know that there’s no other gourmet popcorn like this one. The crunch factor coupled with the various flavours are one-of-a-kind.

Sharing and gifting this season is simply a must for my family. During CNY, we love to have an excuse to nibble on our favorite cookies and snacks. In fact, I always have an assortment of CNY goodies on my table way even before we ring in the festive season. This brings back such fond memories of my childhood as I would always wait for each CNY to be able to indulge in all sorts of goodies. Glad to say, I do not have to wait a whole new year now to enjoy these but CNY is still a perfectly good excuse enjoy and share some sweetness with family and friends.

Ever since I had my first taste of Garrett Popcorn, I have been an ardent fan of this gourmet snack. They say once you have had the best, there’s no turning back. A recipe handed down over three generations, it’s obvious that Garrett Popcorn must be doing something deliciously right.

Garrett Popcorn’s signature has always been the Chicago Mix – a luscious sweet and salty mixture of CaramelCrisp and CheeseCorn. There is something just so tempting with combining layers of crunchy caramelized glazed popcorn with fluffy cheesy popcorn. It’s the mix of sweet and savory that brings dessert to another level of tempting flavours. Besides the Chicago Mix, there’s also Buttery or Nut CaramelCrisp.

Joining in the festive cheers, my family and I simply cannot resist including Garrett Popcorn on our table this season. As soon as my little one spies the signature logo and Tin of Garrett Popcorn on our dining table, he would literally be asking for a taste. I don’t blame him… can you?

There’s something truly happy about digging into a Garrett Tin of golden popcorn nuggets that always looked utterly tempting and sublime….

Take Garrett Popcorn for a road trip for extra happiness!

Garrett Popcorn makes the perfect indulgence and so we often are tempted to take the Tin everywhere with us. We took ours to the park where we had our little own popcorn picnic. It was our little perfect moment of walking a little and enjoying a little snack as we watch the sun goes down in the evening.

Sometimes in the evening while catching up on a little movie action, off goes the lid of Garrett Popcorn and someone’s little hand would be grabbing a handful of popcorn with much cheekiness. The deep luscious buttery and caramel note combined with cheesy corn can certainly put a big smile on anyone’s face… certainly mine and my family…

I daresay, Garrett Popcorn is great anytime of the day. Grab a Tin of Garrett Popcorn wherever you go or share this deliciousness with your family and friends this CNY and put a big smile of sweetness on their faces with this gourmet popcorn!

Garrett Popcorn Shops® Open Its Third Outlet at Mid Valley Mall!

Something’s Popping and It’s Utterly Sweet…

I remembered tasting Garrett Popcorn® when it first open 2 years ago in Kuala Lumpur. No ordinary popcorn, Garrett Popcorn Shops® serves up tempting crunchy balls of gourmet popcorn that is coated with scrumptious flavors. With 60 years of Chicago tradition in its history, Garrett Popcorn® now feeds the international market across the globe. It may have started in Chicago, United States, but today Garrett Popcorn Shops® are now popping up all over Asia Pacific and Middle East. This April, Garrett Popcorn Shops® will be opening its third outlet at Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur.

“We are proud to chalk up another milestone for Garrett Popcorn Shops® in Malaysia with the opening of our third and latest Shop at the Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur” says Lance Chody, Chairman and CEO of Garrett Popcorn Shops®.

I am huge fan of corn, Serve it to me in any ways and I’ll always enjoy its sweetness happily. What makes Garret take popcorn to the level of gourmet? Garrett uses a custom “Golden Butterfly Blend” of butterfly and mushroom popcorn kernels.  Mushroom kernels pop up into a rounded shape and butterfly kernels pop into a butterfly shape, creating a blend that ensures the perfect combination of texture and flavor in every bite.

There are quite a few luscious flavors to choose from at Garrett Popcorn®. Choose from the signature flavors of Chicago Mix®, Plain Buttery, CaramelCrisp™ and CheeseCorn™ to their specialty flavors of Almond CaramelCrisp™, Cashew CaramelCrisp™ and Macadamia CaramelCrisp™. There are also limited special flavors available from time to time.

I tried the 1 gallon tin of The Chicago Mix®, a combination of their signature CaramelCrisp™ and CheeseCorn™. Deep intense caramel coated nuggets of popcorn are contrasted with cheesy cheddar popcorn, rendering a gourmet combination of bittersweet and salty cheesy flavors. Packed with crunch factor, it’s no wonder Garrett Popcorn® is deemed the gourmet popcorn and continues to attract its followers from all over the world. Each kernel is serious well coated with flavor so that every kernel you eat gets maximum flavors. The Chicago Mix® is highly addictive and once you have started enjoying them, there is simply no stopping or going back to the regular popcorns.

My family and I literally almost polished of the tin at one go! It’s just that good and addictive…. I am itching go grab their special nuts collection!

The Garrett Popcorn Shops® story

In 1935, each member of the Garrett family was challenged to create a caramel popcorn recipe. One creation stood out from the rest and became known as CaramelCrisp® – distinguished by its unique flavor and delicate, crème brûlée crunch from other ‘caramel corn’ variants available at the time.

When the first original Garrett Popcorn Shop® opened in 1949 in the heart of Chicago, a long queue of customers, all eagerly waiting to purchase a tin of handcrafted Garrett Popcorn marked the beginning of A Chicago Tradition that continues until today.

Very little has changed from 1949; every batch of Garrett Popcorn® is still handmade with care throughout the day using old-fashioned copper kettles and wooden paddles.  We mix our signature blend of kernels into our secret family recipe, passed down through three generations.

“We like to say that Garrett Popcorn is Happy Food™ and we hope that our launch in Mid Valley Megamall this April will make Malaysians  as happy as our popcorn makes us,” says Scott Schroeder, Chief Brand Officer of Garrett Popcorn Shops®.

Garrett Popcorn Shops® are currently located at Mid Valley Megamall and Suria KLCC in Kuala Lumpur and 1Utama Shopping Centre in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. For more information, visit www.garrettpopcorn.com.my
