Crispy Chocolate, Malaysia’s home-grown chocolate brand marks its 50th anniversary

Crispy Chocolate, a popular Malaysian chocolate snack, which is marketed to 21 countries, is celebrating its 50th anniversary.  

 

To mark this historical milestone, the Network Foods Industries Group is launching a national roadshow that initially kicks off in the east coast States and Klang valley.

 

The Network Foods group is a member of the Pan Malaysia Corporation Berhad (PMC). Founded in 1973, Crispy Chocolate has withstood the test of time. Its chocolatey crispy bite has been an unforgettable part of sweet memories for several Malaysian generations.

 

Commenting on Crispy Chocolate’s 50th anniversary, PMC Executive Director, Andrew Khoo, said: “For a home-grown chocolate brand to celebrate this milestone is a very proud moment for us. It is a testament to Crispy’s enduring brand value in a competitive field dominated by established international brands.

 

Khoo noted that, internationally, fewer than 10 chocolate brands have had a history of 50 years or longer.

 

Crispy chocolate owes its success to its unique malty taste made of the finest malt, quality cocoa and with oven-roasted rice cereal, making it not just another tasty snack, but wholesome as well.”

Network Foods asserts that Crispy chocolate is classified as a health snack containing low sugar content and dietary fibre. 

 

As a testament to its healthful quality, Crispy Chocolate has won the Best Kid Snack in the Natural Health Readers’ Choice Award 2022 and the Cocoa Industry special award from the Malaysian Cocoa Board. It is also certified by the Singapore Health Promotion Board in addition to being certified by Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) and Majlis Ulama Indonesia (MUI HALAL) 

Capitalising on its popularity, the Crispy brand has recently launched the Crispy spreads for breakfast toasts and Crispy Popz malt balls for easy snacking. The company has also created a Special Crispy Edition range that combines exciting unique Malaysian, Korean and Japanese-inspired flavours. More line extensions of the Crispy range are being considered in future.

How to Choose a Unique Engagement Ring That Reflects Her Individuality

A ring symbolizes eternal love and commitment, so finding the perfect one is essential. Take cues from your significant other’s style and jewelry choices to find a unique engagement ring she’ll love. Whether it’s an unusual center stone shape or intricate metalwork, there are plenty of ways to make an engagement ring unique. Here are a few of our favorite ideas to get you started:

Choose a Stone That Reflects Her Personality

Choosing a ring that speaks to her personality is one of the most essential parts of buying an engagement ring. It can be done in many ways. For instance, you can get her a ring based on something meaningful in her life or special to her. Another way to add personal touches to her ring is with intricate metalwork. It includes etchings, carvings, intricate milgrained, filigreed, and ribbed detailing. Finally, you can use her favorite colors to create a unique ring that speaks to her soul. Whether in bold or pastel hues, it’s the perfect way to show her how much you care!

Think Outside the Box

While diamonds are timeless, unique engagement rings for women offer a more personalized style for any couple. For example, bohemian brides may love a vintage-inspired piece that requires scouring estate sales for the right one; feminine girls can choose a stone cluster with unique cuts that speak to their natural beauty and aesthetic. For a truly unique ring, consider adding a pop of color. Sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and other colored gemstones add a splash of personality without the hefty price tag. To keep the ring a surprise, hide it in an out-of-the-way location like your tool kit (only use this method if she’s not handy with her hands) or box of holiday decorations. She’ll be doubly surprised when you pull it out! It will also help you avoid ring loss, a significant heartache for many couples.

Don’t Forget About Metalwork

Choosing an engagement ring is a big decision that will last your lifetime. That’s why it’s essential to take the time to consider what style suits her and who she is as a person. Metalwork is also worth considering, as it can creatively add details to the ring. From engraved names and dates to intricate filigree designs, there are so many ways to make her engagement ring unique. Finally, it’s a good idea to get input from other people in your life about the style of ring they think would suit her. It can help you narrow your options and find a unique ring for her.

Add a Pop of Color

If you want to add a touch of uniqueness to an engagement ring but aren’t ready to completely overhaul the design, consider adding a colored gemstone accent to her band. Alternatively, some people choose to purchase a new ring altogether. Diamonds are the traditional center stone choice for engagement rings, but there are many more options on the market. For example, a Montana sapphire is a perfect “something blue” for bohemian brides; emerald can signify good fortune; and rose quartz is a romantic option for feminine girls. Intricate metalwork is another element that can make an engagement ring stand out from the crowd. Look for a metal design that reflects her style or pays tribute to your relationship. For example, a floral or leaf inlay ring could perfectly symbolize your love.

Don’t Be Afraid to Go Big

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or your partner, there are several important factors to consider when choosing an engagement ring. After all, this is a significant monetary investment that will be worn for the rest of your lives together! Take note of your partner’s style, cherished jewelry pieces, and personal preferences. It will help you determine the ring that best suits your personality and lifestyle. For example, if your partner has a penchant for simple, elegant jewelry pieces, try browsing for rings with more intricate detailing or a halo design. It will give the ring an extra sparkle and radiance that will catch her eye! Also, don’t be afraid to explore unique shapes such as emerald cuts, hearts, and pear-shaped stones.

Ayam Brand™ Community Care Campaign 2023 Empowers 1,000 Children for a Better Future

Kuala Lumpur, 22 November, 2023 - It is estimated that up to 5.6 million school-going children in Malaysia face the double burden of malnutrition. The double burden of malnutrition is defined as the coexistence of both undernutrition and overnutrition in the same population across the life course. In short, malnourished children run the risk of becoming obese adults.

Worryingly, vision issues are also on the rise among Malaysian children with myopia prevalence among children at age seven at 9.8%, rising to 34.4% at the age of 15. While some eye problems are inevitable for various reasons, others can be attributed to a lack of proper care. 

To assist with these issues, Ayam Brand™, the 131-year old household name famed for its wide range of quality, preservative-free, no added MSG, healthy, and convenient canned food, is back with its annual Community Care Campaign 2023. Themed #AyamBersamaMu with the concept of ‘Tambah Sihat Bersama Ayam Brand™’, it will reach out to more than 1,000 children from 25 non-governmental organisations across seven states to provide a two-months supply or approximately 35, 028 healthy meals. 

Going beyond the contribution of its products, Ayam Brand™ in collaboration with KPJ Healthcare Group will be running nutrition workshops to educate these children on healthier dietary choices following the 3S (Suku-suku Separuh) Malaysian Healthy Plate concept. To address vision issues among these children Ayam Brand is working with Focus Point Vision Care Group Sdn. Bhd. to provide free eye health screening, and prescription glasses to children who require from these homes. 

Each participating home products that are high in protein, calcium, Omega-3 and fibre including Ayam Brand™ Tuna Mayonnaise, Ayam Brand™ Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce and Ayam Brand™ Soya Flakes Spread. 

“The risk of double malnutrition, and myopia among Malaysian children requires action from all parties who can assist including organisations such as Ayam Brand. This is why we stepped up to help. Ideally all children should have good nutrition from birth. Ayam Brand™ has a long history of contributing our healthy and nutritious products to communities, and we are continuing in that commitment. However, we believe that while providing our products is an immediate solution, over the long term, educating children on making healthier food choices is the key. Our fish products are high in protein, calcium, Omega-3, DHA among other vitamins and minerals that children need for good health, including eye health,” says Ms Teoh Wei Ling, A. Clouet (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.'s Marketing Manager.

Studies conducted by Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) found that Ayam Brand™ Sardines in Tomato Sauce was shown to have 7.1X more Omega-3 compared to home-cooked locally caught fresh sardines and Ayam Brand™ Mackerel in Tomato Sauce contains a whopping 7.6X more Omega-3 compared to an equivalent serving of home-cooked locally caught mackerel. 

Ms Teoh Wei Ling also adds that "the Ayam Brand Community Care campaign which is now in its 16th year has contributed more than 2.1 million healthy meals for charity, providing nutritious food to more than 27,293 people from 610 charity homes and NGOs”.

In Klang Valley, a total of 398 children from Persatuan Rahoma Darul Fakir Malaysia, Rumah Charis, Yayasan Chow Kit, Trinity Community Children Home Society, Rumah Kasih Harmoni Paya Jaras, Persatuan Rumah Kanak-Kanak Ini Di Sayangi (K.I.D.S), Pertubuhan Kebajikan Anak Yatim Mary, Rumah Kebajikan Dan Anak Yatim dan Saudara Baru An-Najjah and Pusat Jagaan Juara Jaya participated in the Tambah Sihat Bersama Ayam Brand #AyamBersamaMu workshop that was held at Menara KPJ Kuala Lumpur.  

Children learned about making healthier dietary choices through an informative and engaging session with Pn Nabihah Hannan Razaleigh, KPJ Tawakkal Kuala Lumpur Specialist Hospital’s dietician on the Malaysian Healthy Plate, with an introduction to the importance of Omega-3 for their eye health. Next, each child put their new knowledge into practice by preparing themselves a healthy snack following the Suku-suku Separuh concept, guided by the KPJ and Ayam Brand team. 

"Proper nutrition is important for children's overall well-being, especially the consumption of protein for growth and development. One of those good protein sources is from fatty fish like tuna, saba, sardine, and mackerel, with good sources of Omega-3, which is vital for children's brain development and eye health. Since our body cannot produce Omega-3 on its own, we need to obtain it from the foods we eat. One should consider to consume at least 2 servings of fatty fish weekly." says Pn Nabihah Hannan Razaleigh.

The children also participated in memory matching and ball toss games, which allowed them to practise their visual recall and hand-eye coordination as a way to reinforce what they had learned at the workshop. Members of the winning team each received a medal, while all participants received gift bags. 

The team from Focus Point was onsite to provide eye health checks to all children. Those who require will receive their prescription spectacles soon after. 

Representatives from the charity homes expressed their gratitude for Ayam Brand's continued support, and for the transformative impact it will have on the lives of the children.

“We always look forward to the Ayam Brand Community Care campaign. Ayam Brand products are delicious, nutritious, and a nice change from our usual meals and we are grateful for this support. We also look forward to the program itself because it is fun, educational, informative and fires up the children’s interest and passion for being healthy and eating well. The addition of prescription spectacles is very welcome, as some of the kids have myopia but glass are expensive. This contribution will help them see a better future!,” says En Jamaluddin Bin Wahab, Rumah Kasih Harmoni Paya Jaras’s Supervisor.

Anna Hull, Commercial Director, Guardian Health and Beauty Sdn Bhd said:

“We are extremely pleased to finally announce our winners for the Face of Healthy Beauty 2023.  This year’s contest received overwhelming response and the competition was stiff.  We are also delighted to find that we had participants coming from all over Malaysia to take part and we are also proud, that for the first time, we have two men among the final 20 finalists.

“As we all know, the Face Of Healthy Beauty is NOT a beauty contest or a beauty pageant.  It is a search for that special person that has all the unique qualities that Guardian believes represents the meaning of the concept of Healthy Beauty.

“This Healthy Beauty concept is at the CORE of Guardian’s brand philosophy and this concept was borne from a consumer insight that good health is the foundation of true beauty.  Our winners, therefore, will inspire others to live a healthy and beautiful life, doing things that make them feel happy and fulfilling,” Anna added.
