Whenever possible, i always opt for organic products. Came across this Alce Nero organic spinach spaghetti the other day and decided to give it a try.
Got to know that Alce Nero is one of the largest organic producers in Italy. Just hope my kids take to the color of this Alce Nero organic spinach spaghetti, lol.
Here’s a closer look of the Alce Nero organic spinach spaghetti. The green looks more like olive to me. And no, it doesnt smell like olive, k. It’s pretty normal. The taste? I’ll let you know once i’ve cooked it. Weekend maybe.

I bought a sandwich maker recently in a quest to save some money. But come to think of it, this Cornell sandwich maker practically eats electricity at 700Watts. Though i wont use it for more than 3 minutes at a time, it’s still costly to use it on an everyday basis. But compared to driving to the shops to buy food back, it’s still relatively cheaper to make my own in the morning.
There werent that many sandwich makers sold at Parkson where i bought this. This Cornell sandwich maker caught my eyes with its bright yellow and i asked for one. Not an expensive item at rm69.00. The model is CSM-EL602A.
I’ve never owned a sandwich maker before in my entire life. I used to borrow my mom’s when the urge to make sandwiches arise once in a while, lol. See how nice my yellow colored Cornell sandwich maker is. It even has some flowery pattern with the words “Bon Apetit” on it.
All sandwich makers look the same inside. The only difference is the price and the hotplate’s heat distribution. For this Cornell sandwich maker, the heat is more centered and i find my sandwiches getting burnt easily especially the middle two lower triangles.
Another negative point about this Cornell sandwich maker is the three pin plug’s quality. It somehow warped where the electrical cord goes it. I think its due to the low quality plastic which cannot stand the high heat. 700Watts wei, dun play play. It may be a Sirim approved three pin plug, but still, its quality sucks. I’ll post a pic on how it looks like later, k.
I’ve changed the first unit. Cant get it refunded. If not, i would have changed it to a different brand. The best thing to do now is to go to an electrical shop and change the three pin plug to one that can withstand high heat for safety sake. What a waste of time and money. If you want my opinion on this Cornell sandwich maker, dont buy it.

I love Kunyang Honey. Kunyang is a Korean brand. Bought these from Cold Storage the other day. They each costs Rm38. Not overly expensive, right. Still affordable. Comes in a variety of flavors but i chose Ginger Honey and Pomegranate Honey. Ginger will soothe my irritated throat as i’m still having a sore throat. The saleslady explained the pomegranate is beneficial to the uterus. That’s why i bought two. Will try the others when i finish these.
Honey has many uses. I can drink it, use it as a spread for bread and even marinade meats with it. It’s a great alternative to sugar. I may not like sugar very much, but as a natural sweetener, honey doesnt irritate my throat like normal white of brown sugar does. Honey hydrates our body’s internal system and also nourishes our skin. I only have good things to say when it comes to honey. Do you like honey as much as i do?
Cold Storage organises fairs at Parkson’s concourse level every now and then. It’s to create more awareness to the variety of foodstuff they carry. Cold Storage is located it the basement level at Ipoh Parkson. I shop there quite often as i go to Parkson nearly everyday. It’s a costly place to buy grocery items there. Unless you are into pricey imported goods, you’re better off buying your everyday necessities from hypermarkets.
