Tangs Creative Chinese New Year Treats!

popups_yummycnytreats

We will be doing a session of creative Chinese New Year treats at the Tangs Kitchen Vivocity on 5th February (Friday), looking forward to that!

On the menu:
1. Bak Kwa and Fresh Shitake Mushroom Quiche
2. Sashimi Lo Hei (chunks of fresh sashimi but with the traditional CNY lo-hei greetings)
3. Cashew nut and Caramel Semi-freddo (like an ice-cream)

That will run at an affordable $80 and will be run in a hands-on fashion where everyone takes part in the preparation. If you are keen to do a CNY menu but not sure if you can spare the time over the actual CNY period, then this is the session for you! :)

Cookyn with Mervyn goes The Kitchen @ Tangs VivoCity

We will be cooking at The Kitchen at Tangs Vivocity come January 19! Really looking forward to having a bit of fun in a new environment. The kitchen is snazzy! :)

We will be doing a Japanese sushi rolling session, together with the crowd-favourite home smoked salmon fillet and finishing off with a fun mochi ice cream. Our session will be full hands-on and everyone gets a sizeable portion of food to bring home or eat. :)

Cookyn with Mervyn x Home-fix

We are happy to roll out our new partnership with Home-fix, more specifically with Weber Grills in their stores. We have just completed 3 BBQ parties that they gave out as the prizes in their Christmas lucky draw. We will be continuing this partnership by extending a 10% discount on all Weber grills to Cookyn with Mervyn participants. Considering the grills go for as much as $6850, that is some substantial savings!

And every purchase of a Weber grill entitles you to a free session with us as well. :)

Look forward to meeting and cooking for more Home-fix DIY enthusiasts really soon!!
