Happenings in December - Shandi Global Plant-Based Chicken Products + RAVIEL Serum + Poulet

Thursday 8/12/22

Shandi Global (Shandi) has launched the opening of plant-based chicken manufacturing facility in Singapore which produce plant-based chicken products in various formats such as patties, pieces, shreds, strips, and drumsticks.

With the reality of a global food shortage as the world population continues to increase, Shandi seeks alternatives for a sustainable food source for the world.

I received a sampling set from Shandi comprising of plant based chicken sandwich and plant based chicken crispy nuggets for review.

Shandi’s plant-based chicken has a protein content of close to 30%, on par with the protein content of actual chicken meat. making it a healthier more sustainable option without sacrificing the benefit of protein for those switching to a meatless diet.

There are 8 pieces of plant based chicken crispy nuggets in a packet. The chicken nugget was well seasoned with mild spices and the exterior tasted really like popcorn chicken while the inner resembled chewy mushroom texture.

The plant based chicken sandwich was made up of bread wrapped with plant based chicken slices, onion, tomato, lettuce and sauce. The resemblance of chicken sandwich is lower as compared to chicken nuggets, I think the spice and batter really make a lot of difference. Nevertheless, it was still tasty.

With Shandi’s plant-based chicken so similar to meat, it encourages consumer to switch to a plant-based diet while consuming the same food we love without compromising taste and nutrition.

Ended off with S'mores Ice Cream, it was my first time trying out this flavour. I can't really describe the taste but the fragrance was delectable and sweet.

RAVIEL Multi Vitamin Dark Spot & Blemish Care Serum is a serum that tackle various skincare issues: dark spot and blemish correcting, evening skin tone, hydrating, brightening and wrinkle repair.

The alcohol free and unscented serum has a watery gel-like texture, which is non sticky, lightweight and absorbed fast into the skin. A non-irritating serum suitable for all skin types as it is made with 100% safe ingredients (EWG green ingredients). 

The serum hydrated my skin by locking in the moisture and smoothing the skin with diminished red spots. It gave my skin a radiant glow after the application and a dose of moisture, leaving my skin feeling soft and prep my skin for better absorption on the next step of skincare regime. It is an important skincare step in our regime that we should not miss.

Met up with GF for Christmas gathering and she introduced me to this place, Downstairs (楼下) at Suntec City basement level. The eatery has simple interior and they incorporated some retro furnishings that brings good memories with a smile such as the chess table, letterbox, hopscotch that we can find downstairs in the older days.

I had Curry Pork Cutlet Rice and Lime Juice ($8.70) which was simple and delicious. The curry sauce added richness to the ingredients and I savoured everything clean.

We have come to the last working day of 2022 and I bid farewell to 2022 by having a feast. We headed to Poulet @ Vivo City for lunch because they are having 3 course set lunch at $27++.

I was surprised by the generous portion of their starter because usually set meal comes in a petite portion. The Truffle Fries were served in a standard size of tray. The truffle seasoning added aroma to the lightly salted fries.

I had Chicken Aglio Olio which was infused with a touch of spice to the pasta, it contained cube chunk of chicken and bacon bits. The spiciness was still manageable without reaching for drink.

Ended off the lunch with Milk Pudding which has a milky taste, the pudding was soft and smooth. It was topped with biscuit crumbles which provide a contrast in texture with crunchy bite.
