In conjunction with International Women's Day, starting from the 11 March 2020, JOLOKO together with Patron are bringing you a Ladies Night with a twist! Every Wednesday (from 7pm to 10pm), both women and men can sip on margaritas for a good cause. Frozen, shaken or on the rocks, 100% of the proceeds go to Tenaganita.
What is Tenaganita?
Tenaganita is a labour and human rights organisation born out of the struggles of women workers in 1991.
Since then, Tenaganita’s scope has grown in leaps and bounds and today, they address issues of exploitation, discrimination, unequal treatment and violence not just against women, but also refugees and migrant workers.
They believe that women, workers and refugees can achieve their potential and free themselves from the web of slavery in a globalised world.
What do they do?
Their organisation has 5 major focus areas of work:
- migrants right protection
- refugee action program
- anti trafficking in person
- shelter for trafficked women and children
- business accountability & responsibility

One of my favorite recipes for chicken wings is the honey soy roasted chicken ala W.A.W chicken wings. However, before we can make it, we need to first marinade the chicken wings for at least 6 hours in the fridge.
Enter Soy-braised chicken wings... a recipe which requires no pre-marination and cooks in approximately 30-35 minutes, and tastes absolutely fantastic! I like this recipe best with the mid-joint wings, however this recipe also works with chicken drumettes, drumstick or thighs (see note below for extra cooking tips).
Simply place all the ingredients for the braising liquid in the pot and bring to the boil, and then add the chicken wings and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Leave for a further 15 minutes in the pot to finish cooking and for flavours to fully infuse into the wings. For a complete meal, serve it with rice or noodles. Easy, simple and delicious - perfect for a fuss-free meal!
