Celebrating 100 Years of Kewpie Magic with Education & Culinary Collaborations

From humble beginnings in 1925 to becoming a global kitchen essential, Kewpie Mayonnaise has spent a century transforming simple ingredients into unforgettable flavors. This year, Kewpie Malaysia is celebrating the 100th anniversary of Kewpie Mayonnaise, marking a century of flavour innovation, culinary inspiration, and trusted quality. The celebration marks a century of innovation and flavour from the Japanese-born brand, and signals its commitment to nurturing local talent and culinary creativity in Malaysia. To commemorate this historic milestone, Kewpie is launching a wide-reaching celebration that blends global festivities, local partnerships, and a golden opportunity for Malaysians to win a dream holiday to Japan.

First introduced in Japan in 1925 by founder Toichiro Nakashima, Kewpie Mayonnaise was born with a mission to improve nutrition and promote healthier eating. Its rich, creamy texture and distinct umami flavour quickly captured the hearts of families, chefs, and food lovers alike.

Mamee Monster Evokes Childhood Nostalgia with Limited Edition Retro Design Packs

Mamee Monster, the country’s best known and loved homegrown noodle snack is taking a trip down memory lane with the 1970s version of the brand’s famous blue Mamee Monster making a returnthis month.

Malaysians can expect to see the iconic blue Mamee Monster back in its familiar 2D retro formaton the brand’s bright yellow Mamee Monster Family Pack bags as the products become available in Malaysia and Singapore from March 2023 onwards for limited time only.

There will also be collectible stickers in the packs, just like how Mamee Monster used to include surprise items in-pack. This limited-edition packaging with vintage vibes is being rolled out as atribute to MAMEE-Double Decker’s late founder and executive chairman, Datuk Pang Chin Hin, who passed away in November 2022. Mamee Monster is a crunchy noodle snack that made its debut in 1974 after Datuk Pang’s eldest son, MAMEE-Double Decker Executive Chairman Tan Sri Pang Tee Chew picked up on something while driving through the estates in Alor Gajah, Malacca–he noticed the rubber tappers were eating uncooked instant noodles straight from the pack. This led the Pang father-son duo to steer their noodle production in a new direction. They decided to pre-season the noodles before selling them, and that was the start ofone ofthe first Malaysia’s favourite snacks. Mamee Monster noodles became a hitnot justwith the youngsters but also with the adults, thanks to its rich flavour, strong marketing strategy and widespread availability.

“The Mamee Monster noodle snack has been the quintessential Malaysian childhood snack that has been spreading joy for decades, whether enjoyed as a snack at home, in school, at a party or on the go. We have the late Datuk Pang to thank for that and this Mamee Monster Retro Campaign is our way of paying tribute to him and celebrating his life, his creativity and many contributions,” said How Yuan Yi, Chief Marketing Officer of MAMEE-Double Decker.

Jordan Can’t Smile Without You Campaign

With the fast-paced lifestyle that most Malaysians live, many parents’ responsibilities may result in missing out on their children’s daily precious smiles. Jordan Asia Pacific Sdn Bhd - the brand behind the leading Jordan Kids Universe range designed especially for children - has launched Jordan Can’t Smile Without You, a campaign dedicated to helping more parents enhance that special, precious smiley bond with their little ones!

To understand this in detail, Jordan recently surveyed Malaysian parents to find out what their child’s smiles meant to them. From this, an exciting finding emerged where, compared to toys or screen time, 86% of the respondents said that family quality time is the number one factor that makes them smile. A healthy smile is undoubtedly one way children develop interpersonal relationships and self-esteem.

“Most parents can be too busy with the inevitable hustle and bustle of life that results in them missing out on some special moments, particularly within the crucial growing-up stage for the little ones. We embarked on the Jordan Can’t Smile Without You campaign as a personal and important mission for us. We know that it can be stressful knowing we cannot spend enough quality time with our children. It is the big bright, clean smiles of our children that we always remember and keep close to our heart as they grow older,” Jerry Ng, Country Manager for Malaysia, Thailand & Philippines at Jordan Asia Pacific Sdn Bhd, shared.

“Parents will do everything they can to protect the smiles of their little ones. A good, consistent oral routine is a big part of nurturing those invaluable little smiles, and Jordan has made oral hygiene easy, fun and accessible,” Jerry added.”

Good Oral Hygiene In Children

The survey also found that 97% of respondents use age-appropriate toothbrushes for their children, with 62% of respondents stating they change their children’s toothbrushes every three months.

With SOPs Easing Up, Malaysians Look Forward to Home Makeovers for a Brand-New Start

With the multiple lockdowns arising from the pandemic over the last two years, those who have been wanting to give their homes a much-needed makeover have had to put plans on hold. Now, as SOPs have eased and we move towards normalcy, many Malaysians are finally ready to start on their remodelling projects in anticipation of hosting family and friends once more. To further provide Malaysians with the opportunity to win stylish home makeovers, Hong Leong Bank (“HLB” or the “Bank”) and Dresid, a one-stop home improvement digital platform are collaborating to offer the Bank’s customers the chance to freshen up their homes with three dream home makeover packages worth RM33,000 each.

“Over the last two years, Malaysians have spent much of their time at home and many have had to invest in carving out spaces in their homes to enable them to set up workstations as the pandemic required the majority of the nation to work from home. Now that we are slowly transitioning back to the office and can now host visitors, many are looking to refresh their spaces at home. Whether it is redesigning the entire home, or adding statement pieces to a room, we want to help our customers realise their dream homes with the opportunity that will allow them to explore their creativity without financially burdening them,” explained Andrew Jong, Managing Director of Personal Financial Services of HLB.

According to Kwek Kon Hao, Team Lead of Dresid, one of the more common issues faced in any home remodelling project is going over budget as oftentimes homeowners do not have a clear vision of what they want to achieve and tend to add on smaller side projects that may seem like a good idea but will inevitably add to the cost and prolong the entire remodelling process.

“There are a few simple tricks that can help anyone keep to their budget without hindering their vision of a beautiful home makeover. Homeowners can start by envisioning the size of the project they want to undertake, be it a minor facelift or a major overhaul and then create an accurate budget by getting three or four quotes from different suppliers. Refrain from side-tracking from the main plan by determining your priorities as well as the timeline needed to accomplish your goals. Writing down plans and ideas on a vision board will also help keep you and your family focused and on track but more importantly, within budget,” said Kon Hao.

Kon Hao shared that creating a detailed remodelling plan by building a spreadsheet with all the anticipated costs will also help give homeowners an idea as to whether their dream home makeover can be accomplished within budget. Some of the reasons homeowners go over budget are the failure to price in the little things like clean-up costs, living expenses during the remodelling, pest control issues, extensive damage to wiring or plumbing in older properties and inaccurate estimates for materials, labour and furniture.

From now until 8 August 2022, new and existing HLB customers have the opportunity to win a designer home makeover worth RM33,000 from Dresid. Customers simply need to perform eligible transactions as outlined in the table below via HLB website and/or HLB Connect to gain entries and be selected as one of three winners to walk away with a gorgeous home makeover. Not only that, customers can also receive exclusive discounts up to 30% and an additional 7% in cashback at selected Guocera retail outlets when spending using their HLB cards.
