Contento Krim CONTENTO KRIM

Contento Krim was created by two brothers and friends, whom believe in creating a healthy diet for everyone to love. Everyone has most certainly had an ice cream float some time in their lives (especially with this sweltering heat) but what about a Frozen Yogurt Float? Yogurt Parfait? Or even yogurt in a cone?

Contento Krim is the only place where you’ll get the selection of enjoying your frozen like any ice cream café. Choose your flavours (vanilla, bubble-gum or green apple). Choose your size (small, regular, fruit parfait). The psychedelic all-time favourite is the Fruit Parfait, made with your choice of flavoured yogurt, strawberries, peach, and blueberries. Lastly, topped with our coloured cornflakes and drizzled with choice of syrup sauce.


fishshack01 FISH SH-NACK

Fish Sh’nack was founded on the belief that snacking could be made healthier without compromising the taste and its quality! Basically SHIOK Fish Sh-nack ‘s mainstay would be its packaged crispy fish skin, accompanied with our specially curated sauces! Due to a special way of frying, our snacks require less oil, while retaining its natural colors and tastes.

We have come a long way for our sauces and we’ve just launched our very own No preservatives, no artificial flavorings, just love and dedication! Fish Sh-nack aims to ensure that consumers can have these snacks ANYTIME-ANYWHERE!, basically: “ON-THE-GO!”.


Maona MA’ONA

MA’ONA was born with the establishment of advocating slow movement and in turn, spirituality, in this urban jungle. In today’s context, our diet is often comprised of swiftly prepared food attributed by the fast-paced environment and culture. There is definitely plenty of room for the locals to understand the necessity of healthier eating habits and to take time to treat our bodies better.

Inspired by our previous travelling experiences, our smoothie bowls are concocted with all-natural ingredients; a component that we take pride in. They help us to spread the word of simple, clean-eating philosophy.

The key to health is definitely largely the food we feed our systems with. Hence, our smoothie bowls are made with a base of blended pure frozen fruits, topped with granola made by a fellow local maker friend who’s equally passionate about eating right, superfood like chia seeds and goji berries and finished off with refreshing sliced fruits or vegan nut butter.


KingCorn KING CORN

KING CORN Popcorn and corn cups do not have to be corny. Nooo… King Corn is inspired to put the fun back into all things corn. Distinctive to King Corn’s brand DNA of creative fun, the founders cut their creative teeth into pairing corn with all flavors their adventurous minds could come up with. Welcome to King Corn’s world of distinctive sweet and savory popcorn popped ala-minute and baked super sweet juicy corn corn cups with Asian and Western gourmet drizzles, all freshly prepared for maximum enjoyment and flavor.

Score Great Deals At Flea Markets In Just 5 Steps

1. NARROW DOWN WHAT YOU WANT

Know what you want to buy before coming in to the flea markets. A whole area of second hand and budget-friendly items can be overwhelming so it is best to come prepared. The more focused you are, the easier it is to avoid impulse purchases.

2. MEASURE AND RE-MEASURE

To avoid buying furniture that does not fit your home, measure the room dimensions accurately by using a tape measure and a ruler. If you want to match an item with the room then take a picture or bring a fabric piece with you as you buy.

3. TIME IS ESSENTIAL

You will get the best selection in the first few hours of sale but vendors are reluctant to negotiate early one. So, if you want to save more then wait until the final day. But, expect your selection to be slimmer.

4. DO RESEARCH

Be sure to do your online research before shopping in the flea markets. This way you will be able to spot if the item is overpriced. Then if it is, use your bargain powers to sway the price.

5. GET CREATIVE

The items for sale may be multi-purposed. For example you are looking for a sideboard to put your dishes in, but a dresser/drawer has a better price. Grab the gorgeous dresser instead since you may use it as a sideboard.
