Christmas Tree of Hope at Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur

Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur’s Christmas Tree of Hope returns in 2021 to bring hope, joy, and gifts! This year, the hotel is proud to announce it has partnered once again with the National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM) to fulfil the wishes of the 473 children under their care. 

NASOM was founded in 1987 to provide a range of support services to assist people living with autism, especially children and their immediate family members. As a non-profit organisation, NASOM depends on generous donors to help them support autism education, increase awareness of the condition, advocate for people living with autism, conduct research to improve lives, and most importantly, enable NASOM to assist the immediate families members of children with autism. 

Starting from 1 December 2021, there are two ways to fulfil a child’s wish, either physically by picking a wish from the tree and approaching the festive desk at the hotel’s lobby or online via The Mandarin Oriental Shop Kuala Lumpur. 

The Christmas Tree of Hope will be proudly displayed at the hotel lobby. Hanging on the tree, patrons of the hotel will find handwritten cards with names and wishes of the children from NASOM. Generous donors may pick a name from the tree and pass the card and their donations on to the staff that will be attending all donations from 11am to 8pm daily. Every donation that is received will go towards fulfilling the wishes of every child under NASOM’s care. 

For donors who cannot be physically present to pick out a card, the hotel has also published wishes from the children of NASOM at The Mandarin Oriental Shop Kuala Lumpur. Simply pick out a wish that you would like to fulfill and pay through the website. There is also an option to purchase an RM50 donation from the site which also goes to granting wishes. 

Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur has prepared a list of over 100 toys that the children from NASOM may choose from that are sure to put a smile on their faces. Once every wish has been fulfilled, all additional donations collected will go towards the purchase of necessities for the centre. From masks to food items, stationeries, hygiene items and more, the hotel is committed to making sure the children have even more to look forward to after the holiday season. 

The Christmas Tree of Hope was launched in 2020 and gathered a great deal of support. Last year, the hotel managed to fulfil all 303 wishes from various organisations, donated additional necessities like food and hygiene items amidst the pandemic the following months, and even presented a cheque of RM4,284.48 to NASOM in conjunction with World Autism Day. 

In 2021, the hotel is hopeful to exceed the giving received in 2020 and is looking forward to presenting even more to the children of NASOM after the holidays. As part of giving back to society, Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur looks to bring holiday cheer to the children of NASOM and give them something to look forward to in 2022. 

To find out more about Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur’s sustainable efforts, head to https://www.mandarinoriental.com/kuala-lumpur/luxury-hotel/sustainability or email mokulsocialmedia@mohg.com for enquiries.

Recipe: Christmas Pavlova Wreath

Hello December! Tis' the season to be jolly ;) My favourite holiday season is here; our Christmas tree is up and looking mighty brilliant. 

So today I'd like to share the recipe for a festive dessert, Christmas Pavlova Wreath. We actually made this for our Christmas celebration last year and I loved how it added a festive cheer to our day. 

Pavlova is a meringue-based dessert topped with whipped cream and fresh fruits. For every egg white, use 50g of caster sugar. We made a 23-cm diameter pavlova wreath using two egg whites. Draw the outline for the wreath using a round object such as a baking tin or cake base. 

A beautiful, incredibly festive dessert, which is also very easy to make and put together. Top the pavlova with whipped cream and decorate with your choice of berries and mint leaves.  You can make the pavlova one day in advance so you get to spend more time with your family and friends on Christmas Day.

Christmas Pavlova Wreath

Recipe by Baby Sumo

Preparation time: 20-30 mins

Cooking time: 30-35 mins

Serves 6

Ingredients

2 egg whites
100g caster sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract


To decorate

300ml whipping cream

A large handful blueberries

A large handful strawberries

Mint leaves

Currants

1. Preheat oven to 150°C (no fan). Line a baking tray with baking paper, then draw a 23-cm diameter circle (or any size of your choice) using a round object.

2. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites and vanilla extract in a large clean bowl until soft peaks. Add half the sugar and whisk until glossy, then add the remaining sugar and beat until the meringue is very stiff. Test using your thumb and forefinger, the mixture should be very smooth without any sugar grains.

3. Drop tablespoonfuls of mixture on the baking sheet, to form a wreath. Bake for 30-35 minutes until crisp. Turn off the oven.

4. Remove the tray from oven and gently lift the pavlova off the baking tray. This is to prevent sticking and ensure easier removal later once cooled.

5. Place the tray back in the oven and let pavlova cool completely inside the oven. 

6. Whisk the whipping cream until soft peaks. Place the pavlova on serving plate and top with whipping cream. Arrange the fresh fruits and mint leaves on top.

Recipe: Chunky Vegetable Soup (Using Leftover Turkey)

So the first thing I made after making the turkey stock was this - chunky vegetable soup! We've been experiencing a slew of rain recently, so soups are perfect for those cooler evenings. 

Once you have your rich, flavorful turkey stock, you just need to add in your choice of vegetables - potatoes are a good choice as it helps thicken up the soup. I also added carrots and zucchini, and simply season with some salt and black pepper. You can also add in some of the shredded turkey to the soup to make it more substantial. That's one tasty, warming soup! You can serve the soup with crusty bread, or if you have leftover turkey meat, make some turkey sandwiches to go with your soup.

For the turkey sandwiches, lightly butter and toast your buns. Then, add your turkey (cold or you can heat them up slightly in the pan with some leftover gravy) and a dollop of cranberry sauce. 

Chunky Vegetable Soup (Using Leftover Turkey)
Recipe by Baby Sumo

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 30-40 minutes

Serves 4


Ingredients
1.2l turkey stock (recipe here)

1 carrot, cut into chunks
2 potato, cubed
1 zucchini, sliced then halved
150g leftover turkey meat, shredded


1. Place turkey stock with potato in a pot and simmer for 20 minutes over medium heat. 

2. Add carrots and zucchini and cook for further 10 minutes. 

3.Using a masher, roughly mash the potatoes and carrots. This will help thicken the soup.

4. Add leftover turkey meat. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with crusty bread or sandwiches.

Note: I have shredded all the leftover turkey meat and placed them in tupperwares (in the freezer), about 300g each and take them out of the freezer whenever I need them.

Recipe: Leftover Turkey Stock

Who had turkey for Christmas this year? Do you have lots of leftovers from the meal and not quite sure what to do with them?

Well, waste not. You can shred the meat off the turkey and store them in individual tupperwares in the chiller or freezer. And the turkey carcass - don't throw that away either. You can use it to make a really nice and rich turkey stock, which you can use for making soups, noodles, risotto and more. From one turkey carcass, I managed to make about 4l of turkey stock. Not bad at all!

How to Make Turkey Stock

Ingredients

Leftover turkey carcass (from a 4-5kg turkey)
4 - 5l water
2 bay leaves
2 cloves garlic, crushed


1. Remove meat from the turkey and shred and store in tupperwares. 

2. Place turkey carcass, bay leaves and garlic in a large pot with water. Boil carcass with water over medium high heat for 2 to 3 hours, until stock is a rich, milky colour.

3. Allow to cool, then place stock in glass jars. The stock will keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to a month.

*****

I am very thankful for all the time and memories I got to have this year with my family, especially BabySumoKids who have been online schooling for the most part of 2020. While many parents dreaded online learning, I think both kids did very well and made us proud and I really enjoyed having them at home with us.

While we did not get to go out or travel as much this year, we still had lots of fun together (indoor camping, making YouTube vids, baking, playing in the pool, playing games, watching movies).. I guess what I'm saying is we enjoyed it as best as we could, together. 

And of course, we are thankful for all the good food that we still managed to have this year despite the pandemic - thanks to all who sent us food deliveries to review. Also I have been able to take my cooking skills to the next level and putting good food on the table for the family.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone good health and happiness for the coming year, stay safe and we will get through this pandemic together.
