BOSCH UPS THE COOKING ANTE

 

BOSCH - Europe’s leading household appliances launched its newly introduced Asian Range hobs and hoods  recently.

Gary Ong, Chief Executive Officer of BSH Home Appliances Sdn. Bhd. highlighted that the INTELLI innovations were conceived to cater to Asian kitchen needs and Asian cooking techniques, enabling its users to cook in style while keeping the kitchen and the rest of the house clean and odour-free.

 

According to him, the gas and electric hobs of the Asian Range are designed wider than the existing European Range, to accommodate Asian-style cookware such as woks and larger pots. He also points out that the oil collection channel on the hoods come with a patented double filter system to capture condensed grease instantly and diverts it to the oil cup, keeping the kitchen grease free.

Ong said: “Kitchen is the heart of the home, a place where cooking is devoted to loved ones. We endeavour to produce efficient and elegant products with the most advanced technology  for kitchens around the world. The Asian Range brings German efficiency and technology to the Asian kitchens such as even and precise wok burners, efficient extraction for hoods and INTELLILINK, an innovative, convenient and practical feature that links the hob and hood.” 

Chef Alina Hew demonstrated Bosch's latest Asian Range by whipping up a quick, stir-fry dish at the launch. Canopied tents were also set-up to show the versatility of the hobs where Thai, Korean, Indian, Malay and Nyonya dishes were served for guests' sampling.

 

Also present at the launch was Jimmy Ang, Head of Marketing for BSH Home Appliances Sdn Bhd. Product manager Ms Chee Lin Kit also explained in detail some of the features of the new Asian Range.

 

Priced from RM1,388 onwards, there will be 10 different models available from January 2014 onwards. For more information on Bosch Asian Range or to locate the nearest Bosch dealer, visit www.bosch-home.com.my 

"MERII KURISUMASU" CHEER

Warm & cosy Eyuzu

Tired of turkey and the same old, same old Noel fare? Make your way to the Eastin Hotel and let Eyuzu take you on an extravagant culinary tour of Japan via its Christmas Eve buffet dinner on 24 December.

Maki sushi rolls add extra sparkle to your meal

You'd be spoilt for choice as the chefs have left no stones unturned and pull out all the stops to whip up a palatable parade that includes salad and appetisers, assorted hot dishes and several action stations where chefs will prepare inviting specialities for your sampling pleasure.

Raw appeal - how can you resist such sumptuous succulence?

For our exclusive 'sneak preview', an impressive composition of Sashimi that has raw salmon, marinated white tuna, oysters and yellowtail piled atop a bed of crushed ice gave us a good idea of what to expect at the Sashimi & Sushi action station.

Salmon Avocado Maki that's smooth and scrumptious

Salmon Avocado Maki and Soft Shell Crab Maki will have your festive party on a roll; their rainbow pretty hues coupled with zesty flavours and varied textures guaranteed to 'rice' and lend extra shine to the occasion.

Take flight to culinary heaven - baked chicken wings from Eyuzu

We envisage the Baked Chicken Wings with Honey-Soy Sauce will be another major crowd-pleasing favourite. The sticky sweet and mildly briny sauce coating the wings even had us licking our fingers and picking the bones clean so keep your eyes peeled for those delectable offerings.

Such a tasty dumpling ground

Be prepared to have a ball or two or more the minute you sink your teeth into the Deep-fried Breaded Prawn and Salmon Dumplings. The golden, crispy orbs which yielded softer, springier textures definitely had us hooked at first bite.

Turkey temptation remains intact

Surprisingly, the customary roast turkey will still be putting in an appearance at the special Christmas carving station for the chef wouldn't dream of depriving diners of the traditional speciality. Served with cranberry sauce, giblet gravy and braised vegetable, the moist meat is worth gobbling up.

Terrific teppan grilled turkey

For a moreish, inventive Japanese take on this, we suggest you go for the Teppanyaki Turkey Breast with Garlic-Butter Sauce, Decked with fried garlic flakes and smeared with a little teriyaki sauce, the tender discs of teppan-grilled turkey got the thumbs up from everyone of us who tasted it.

Soba to slurp up in hot or cold broth

If you have more tummy space to spare, twirl around with servings of Cha Soba that are flecked with crispy bits of tempura batter and slivers of nori (laver).

Nice ice cream that makes you go green with envy

Dessert comes in individual portions of popular Macha (green tea) Ice Cream with Red Bean Mash, puffy-light Dorayaki pancakes that can be topped with your choice of condiments: honey, peanut butter, jam, kaya (egg and coconut milk spread), etc or Abekawa Mochi (glutinous rice balls with crushed peanuts).
