White Hat TAKE OUT TUBS!

By | Yummy! | No Comments

Each tub is 520 ml of pure-white Italian yogurt goodness.  That’s almost 10%more product than a normal pint (475 ml).

Plus, our introductory price is only P 175 per tub.  So, its like getting 3 regular cups for the price of 2.

The tubs are pre-frozen solid in our stores each night for selling the next day.  This way, customers can bring them home and as long as they’re storedin coolers, they won’t melt fast.  And they can last up to 3 months inside the home freezer. It’s a great idea for home parties too as an alternative to ice cream.  And if some customers want to buy in TUBS freshly drawn in the store for immediate eating, they can do it too!!

iLearn

Wow!! I have never seen such a unique offering anywhere!  Everything looks so interesting!!! Thanks Sunny for sending this to me, definitely a share for Heart2Heart!

From Sunny:

I’m the marketing consultant for pocketful of kids. “i learn” is our baby since the owners don’t like the typical summer sessions. we sought to offer new topics and will continue even beyond summer. we apartnered with director/actor leo rialp to put it together. 

our main selling point is that we don’t do volume classes (you know, like how some places conduct classes with 30-40 kids), our average class size ranges from one on one to 14. tight but fulfilling to attend. 

not just for kids, we also have for young adults & executives.

Everyday No Plastic Bag

By | Green | No Comments

What a great campaign!!!!  Several big retailers in Hong Kong got together and came up with this campaign!!  I should bring my recyclable bags even when I travel!! They were making me carry my bought goods, good thing I hardly buy anything 🙂

More and more people are more conscious about using plastic

They just put a scotch tape on the item for security purposes so they know you paid for the item

In City Super, they have a lane dedicated for people who do not require shopping bags – you will be surprised that that line is also LONG!! aside from their already long lines.   Sorry for unclear photos, they did not want me to take photos so I had to go around again and hide 🙂

I was not able to go inside but when I saw it from the outside, it was really so attractive, I hope to go back another time.  It is the biggest Organic supermarket in Hong Kongdsc_6834.JPGdsc_6839.JPGdsc_6838.JPG 360elementsorganicstore.jpg

They have an ice skating ring, what was interesting was the penguin that kids were holding on to- what a great feature

Arirang was one of our family’s favorites in HK when we were kids and used to stay often in kowloon side.   We have not been there in a long long time so since this time it was near where we stayed, I suggested we eat there….. and Ned and Janet offered to treat…so I did not object!  🙂  Thanks Ned and Janet for a great meal!!!

Funny guy Ned put his teacup on top of the beef while cooking….hmmm… he said they really do that to cook the beef 🙂  I just had to take a photo of it because it was the first time I saw such a way of cooking arirangkorean11.jpg
