Message of the moment
Originating from Singapore & Taiwan in the Far East, we have literally travelled around the globe to fall in love with this vibrant and beautiful country on the African continent.
Have you hugged your chicken today?
Respect and the love for all living creatures has been our calling for over 30 years. And to this day, we have celebrated life through good food made with kind love and peace of mind.
Life is about experiences. It is not all about good or bad, it's more about if you have missed out on an experience of a lifetime?
If the French is the symbol of love, then Asian food arguably is the epitome of the human palate .
L'
For your family, health and spirit.
It's painlessly simple really.
Who are we?
What's the latest scoop?

Tempting Tempeh
After receiving many enquiries, we're really excited to announce our new product in store: tempeh!
It's a product with origins in South East Asia where it still remains popular to this day, and essentially made from whole soybeans. The unique fermentation process when making tempeh allows for easier digestion and access to its nutrients, providing as a good source of protein, fibre, mono- and polyunsaturated fats, and vitamins B2 and B3!
Tempeh is a versatile ingredient and can easily complement any dish including soups, stews, salads, sandwiches and stir fries! It is similar to tofu, but with a firmer texture and slight nutty flavour that is able to well absorb sauces and marinades. You can prepare it in a number of ways whether it be sliced, crumbled or grated, then either pan-fried, grilled, stewed or steamed.
Give tempeh a try and get creative with your recipes! We know you'll simply love it!
Happy New Year , Every Body !
Goodbye and thank you for everything, 2017.

Simply Refreshing
Are you looking to try something new? We are excited to bring to you something just that to our store to help quench your thirst!
If you're going for something more traditional, try the Gerstel non-alcoholic beer. You won't even be able to tell the difference as it tastes as good as the real deal.
We also have a delicious malt non-alcoholic drink: Karamalz - which is on the sweeter side, but is packed full of malt goodness.
Besides the tastiness and leaving you feeling refreshed, what's best is that these beverages can be enjoyed by the whole family and during any time of day!
Come try out these famous German beverages, and we would be delighted to hear what you think of them!
