Tono Soy Milk

This week, I got myself a delicious and nutritious beverage. So yummy that I have decided to create a snack to match it- Burnt Sweet Potato Cake.

Tono crafted soy milk is smooth, silky and fragrant. I like it because its sweetness is mild yet sufficient for taste. Their naturally flavoured options like black sesame and red bean are rich with the ingredient itself. You can tell by their grainy texture. It is a great choice to fulfill my craving for a tasty beverage without compromising on it's health values knowing that most delicious drinks are sugary.

Tono soy milk is available in:
Plain (unsweetened)
Lightly sweetened
Black sesame
Red bean
Yuri matcha
Chocolate

Tono silky smooth soy milk in 6 flavours

Created the Burnt Sweet Potato Cake to match Tono soy milk

For breakfast or afternoon tea

These soypressos as Tono calls them are organically brewed from non-GMO IP beans from Canada and higher in nutrients. I like it for breakfast and during in between meals. 

This is the story of Tono

One fine day, Tono was bringing back all the beans he has collected back to his home. On his journey home, he started to feel hungry and tired. As usual, Tono wanted to wash his food before he consume it but he only found a nearby hot spring.

He then walked to the hot spring and started to wash the beans. However, he did not anticipate that the beans would split due to the heat. The split beans turned the spring water creamy and aromatic.

Out of curiosity, he went for a dip and he found out that the spring water is rich in soy essence. Consequently, he went back to his home town and returned with his whole tribe for the milky hot spring. This metaphor is representation of what the cafe bring to its consumers.

Identifying the Real Essential Workers During MCO

When it comes to wages, they are called unskilled workers, defining them as using minimal intelectual abilities and ranging them in the lower income group. But when it comes to a crisis, they are called essential workers, leaving them working where it is most dangerous.

This is how humans categorize ourselves. The Covid-19 situation made it obvious which jobs truely matter when it comes to survival of humankind. Do we watch an NBA player or a footballer to get our food or to clear the garbage? Yet how is it that the so-called essential ones end up at the bottom of the salary range? Is physical strength not as worthy as the intellect that many selfish and conceited people have? Or we simply gave some jobs more privillege that they deserve based on our insatiable addiction which we call passion or interest.

Having dabbled in the waste management industry, I can testify that the contributions of a rubbish collector is tremendous yet under appreciated and taken for granted. The sacrifice of comfort and health is unseen. Just because they are less educated or under privileged, their hands deserve to be covered in filth? We don't see a fair allocation of compensation for workers that are truely important. Without the janitor, the storekeeper and the deliveryman, what is left of us.

Shopping In Times of Corona

Kerana Corona, I don’t sleep-in during weekends. I have no choice because it takes just a fraction of a minute to determine if I spend the rest of the day waiting for my turn to get into the supermarket. I drag myself out of bed to prepare myself to the battlefield of the Ketua Rumah kind before even taking breakfast. I strap that mask across my face and load up my disinfectant wipes. Trousers which will have to go straight into the washing machine after this trip, have to have pockets for me to slip in my credit cards, cash, handphone and contain my car keys. My handbag has forgotten how it is like to go out with me because I cannot risk having her touching things nearby especially if her owner can sometimes lose her grace. The hair has to be pinned up so that it doesn’t sweep on any surface. The night before, I will call for any last orders in the family because I will not be able return home till the dusk if I were to re-queue.

Despite the fuss of getting out of the house, I have to admit that ticking items off the shopping list is therapeutic. But the therapy is short-lived because checking out of the supermarket requires another heave of energy. Pushing items from the cart to the counter while making sure they don’t fall off the other end and keeping an eye of on the items scanned so that they won’t be mistakenly keyed in twice amid the heap of groceries that I created requires some effort. Then there is that moment when I have to dump everything into the trolley quickly so that I don’t keep the cashier and the next person in line waiting in frustration. After that only can I push the wobbly trolley to my car just to pass by a couple who decided to do grocery shopping in pairs.

Although grocery shopping is different now, it is nothing compared to what our frontliners are doing. I feel grateful that my basic necessities can still be met while gawking at the people who unabashedly flout the MCO rules.
