Gift Ideas for The Foodie Mom
May 11, 2017
Most of us will nod and concur to this saying that Moms are the best cooks in the world. There will always be that one dish she frequently cooks that brings back memories and comfort each time we savor it. And maybe there will also be one particular ingredient that will always remind us her no matter where we are.
Show Mom love and appreciation this Mother’s Day with these gifts that will enlighten any Foodie Mama.
1. Ujong Kaya
Our pick: Ujong Buko Kaya
Where to buy: NTUC Finest, NAIISE Online and in-store or Gryphon Tea Online Store
Highlighting the flavours of Coconut Caramel and Sea Salt, Ujong Buko Kaya uses only organic Javanese coconut nectar, creating layers of deep flavour that complements the creamy note of coconut.
The subtle notes of Caramel best paired for tea time bites. Slather this on cheese crackers with Pecorino Romano cheese and indulge in full-bodied, creamy texture on the palate. With every spread textured with tiny, chunky bits of coconut, this spread is going to make Mom feel loved when she needs that break. This Kaya contains eggs and is gluten-free. Retails at $8.95 on the Gryphon Tea Online Store.
