Indulge in a Hearty Combination of Gyoza and Nuggets with CP Japanese Crispy Gyoza!!





So I was given 2 packets of  CP Japanese Crispy Gyoza to try and review it.
I immediately fell instantly in love with it ! No kidding! You gotta try it yourself!
It tantalises my tastebuds as it was a mixture of gyoza in a nugget form. My mum took one bite and ask for more. My dad wanted to buy more packets from the supermarket. There is hardly a time whereby you can get a whole family who adores a product but CP Foods has done it!

I am so glad that they are constantly innovating and by putting a simple twist on the japanese gyoza, there is a burst of flavours in your mouth- juicy succulent chicken + fresh cabbage and a golden thin crust. Yummilicious!   

I believe it would be a hit with children and it only requires less than 5 minutes on my HappyCall pan!
There are no preservatives and it can be served at parties ( I shall bring it to the next potluck party that I am invited to!)

Now the all important information-where to lay your hands on this awesome stuff??

CP Japanese Crispy Gyoza is now available at NTUC FairPrice outlets and will be available in all leading supermarkets island-wide at $4.60 per pack. 

Ok, I wanna share my recipe with you so that you can buy a pack of CP Japanese Crispy Gyoza to try it out!

Recipe for HappyCall Pan CP Japanese Crispy Gyoza 
1) Add just a little bit of oil and use one of the gyoza to swipe the oil across the pan to oil it up, save you from using a spatula and also only half the usual amount of oil I use.

2) Place the gyozas close together and shut the cover of the happycall pan.

3) Let it cook for 1 & half mins in low fire and open the cover to check if the base is brown and crispy.

4) Once it is crispy, you can either fry it further by positioning the gyoza on another side and cook for a further 30 secs.

5)By then the gyozas should also be piping hot in the inside, however if you prefer your gyozas to be a bit more moist, feel free to add some water in the pan, max 2 tablespoon and close the lid, and let it steam for 15 secs.

6)Serve some black vinegar and sliced ginger or just some good chilli sauce. If you wanted the black vinegar with sliced ginger, julienne (sliced and cut finely) the ginger slices, and soak in water for at least 1 hour before serve.

CURES Skin Workshop

I was one of the fortunate few to be invited to the workshop. I made great friends, learnt excellent tips about skincare and was enriched by the informative talk given.


CURES By Avancé represents a collection of skin care and body care products that focus on skin conditions and not on skin types. From its luxurious, high-performance ingredients, easy to understand products and nourishing face and body therapies, this curative and corrective line focuses on treating the root cause of any skin condition while offering long-term results. While traditional aesthetics works only on surface skin conditions, Cures adhere strictly to their philosophy by presenting a range of skincare products which uses seaweeds, plants and essential oils to treat the root cause of condition, offering long term results for that natural glow on your skin.

CURES Gentle Cleansing Milk is catered for someone with sensitive or dry skin. The Cleansing Milk is a gentle cleanser allows the skin to breath more freely as makeup and impurities are dissolved from the surface and still balance the skin’s PH.


Keep skin hydrated by using a moisturizer. Use it after you’ve showered and exfoliated in order to lock in moisture. Choose from a selection of moisturizer catered for your skin!

The skin feels moisturized without the greasy feeling and doesn’t cause extra oil or shine to the face.
