Kiwifruit infused cuisine

[ Media Invite ]

As part of Zespri‘s Kiwifruit introduction, a group of bloggers were invited to Fern & Kiwi.

Everyone knows Kiwifruit is the green hairy fruit, but Daddy was tempted to do a Haka (tongue sticking and grunting) over his Kiwifruit infused cuisine!

Daddy had a little lamb, little lamb .. (sing along)

Fern & Kiwi serves the best of New Zealand Food, Wine and Beers (quoting from their website), and Kiwifruit is our VIP today.

Think Kiwifruit, think Zespri πŸ™‚

After learning about Zespri’s history and dietician’s tips, we could not wait to savour our delicious Salad.

Menu laden with Kiwifruit goodness πŸ™‚

Our seafood salad appetizer. Prawn, scallop and snapper meshed with Zespri Kiwifruit.
Tangy sweetness, overall refreshing.

Daddy chose Canterbury Plans’ Charred-Grilled Lamb Cutlets for his main course. We learnt that Kiwifruit can tenderise the meat.

Love the sweet Kiwifruit essence overflowing onto our rack, and Daddy scooped up all the Kiwifruit mixture.

Dessert is Duo of Kiwi Panna Cotta accompanied with Fresh Kiwi Compote. Taste a bit like sour cream, coupled with sweet strawberry.

It was nice to catch up with friends again. Hello Kwan Family, Dawn, Ai and Grace. An honour to sit next to two Omy Blog award winners (Family and Individual category) :p

Do click on their names for their Kiwifruit experience πŸ™‚

We end the evening with a platter of Green and Gold Kiwifruits.

Thank you Zespri for the invite, Daddy really enjoyed his evening. The kids are going to ask why they were not invited to the Kiwifruit fest haha πŸ™‚

We will share more Kiwifruit delights over the next two weeks, meanwhile do pop by our Fanpage album for more Kiwifruit photos.

Come September, Legoland will be celebrating it’s 1st anniversary,
but on 21Oct, Legoland Water Park will open with a SplasH !

Once Legoland Water Park and Hotel is completed, Legoland Themepark will become Legoland Resort.

We got a sneak peak of the Lego project. Packed with 20 slides, Malaysia will have the world’s largest Water Park !

Kids can even build their own rafts, but Daddy is skeptical whether our own raft will float :p
The Lego bricks are bigger and softer, just nice for kids 2 to 12.

Construction is in progress at the work site, all the Red, Yellow and colourful pipes will be linkup to provide seamless Fun !

The six slides are called “Slide Racers”, just nice for our family of six. Imagine Daddy and Mummy leading the charge down the slides.. wait, is there a height limit?

Legoland GM (Siegfried Boerst) and Project Manager (Scott Elliot) proudly displaying the dateline for Water Park. Mark 21Oct 2013 on your calender.

From our vantage point, guests snap away at the worksite. We see cranes and workers hard at work now, but in 3 months’ time, Legoland will be transformed again.

These slides and water play area will be the new attraction come October.

Everyone is anticipating Legoland’s new milestones. The gals (Mag and Melissa) could not resist some cute Lego minions, while the guys (Adrian and Kelvin) are discussing which room offers the best view.

( Thanks to Mag for the gals photo )

Come 2014, Legoland Hotel will invite families to spend more time at the Resort. The 249 rooms will have themes “Pirate”, “Kingdom” or “Adventure”. We heard rides and models will dot the Hotel interior.

Daddy can already imagine the kids popping out of their windows to see Lego City and Project-X screaming in action πŸ™‚

Annual tickets will be announced soon :
Water Park only – Adult (RM275), Child (RM210)
Water Park and Theme park – Adult (RM395), Child (RM395)
