Is your mum a foodie who loves herself a sinful plate of char siew rice? Then this unique gift idea from homegrown brand Char Seal will be right up her alley.
Just for Mother's Day, the home-based business has created a one-of-a-kind and tasty necklace that will definitely make heads turn. Savour these beautifully caramelised char siew chunks – individually wrapped in pieces of plastic and strung onto a silver chain. Yes, it is edible.
While it undoubtedly isn't an accessory that your mum can store for long in her jewellery box, it's still an eye-catching piece that she can temporarily flaunt on her special day.
The only catch is that the necklace is not for sale and one can only get their hands on it if they were to order $120 worth of food from Char Seal. It does seem like a lot of char siew but if you're sharing it with the family, it's quite a good deal – especially if it makes mum happy.
Apart from char siew servings that are available for various group sizes, the local brand also has rice bowl options like Sour Plum Char Siew Don, Garlic Char Siew Don and even Wasabi Char Siew Don.
You can either collect the food from Telok Blangah or opt for islandwide delivery for a small fee. More information is available in their Google forms ordering sheet.
Do note that this is on a preorder basis so place your orders early to avoid disappointment.
This doesn't seem to be the first time that Char Seal has come up with a creative gift idea and previously, they also sold char siew rice birthday cakes and char siew bouquets for Valentine's Day.
Char Seal is run by home-based cook Ashley who goes by the moniker Ashley Mama. On Instagram, she describes herself as a mother of three with a passion for all things char siew.
She occasionally posts pictures of her adorable children on Char Seal's Instagram account so if you're a fan of kids and char siew, it's worth checking her out.
It seems like Char Seal is Ashley's passion project as she also mentioned that she actually works in the financial industry — it's pretty amazing how she's juggling so many things at once!
So, this Mother's Day, why not support a local mama and her side hustle while your mum gets to enjoy some good char siew?
Does anyone’s mother really want this?
The add before the article used the “greater good” phrase.
ChiCom Lefties?
From what I’ve heard about food in China, we don’t want to spend time there.
My X-son-in-law went to China on business, once in a while. He told me that the food was awful and the place stunk where ever you went. (sewage and other back odors). That was in the cities.
I’ve gotta honey-to-do list
I can back that up. Had family friends who went there and they said the body odor was horrid because they are only allowed to bathe infrequently.
Yes. For plain people it is a place you don’t want to go.
For the ChiCom Rulers life is great, but it can be short if you fail at your task.
Telok Blangah or opt for islandwide delivery
The article is definitely about Singapore. NOT Communist China.
OK. May be the Ad proceeding the article was.
I only saw a short blurb of it.
I don’t know much about Singapore.

My wife and I are always looking for new recipes. We share the kitchen and both are good cooks.
Huge library of recipes.
My wife is diabetic and we shape our food around dealing with that.
Singapore is absolutely beautiful! The Gardens By The Bay are stunning. Singapore has no litter anywhere.
Now the downside.....as we were taking a bus tour, the narrator talked about the way newly married couples are able to get an apartment. They sign up for one on a Government list and when one comes available, the next couple on the list is awarded the apartment. Oh, and there aren’t any old cars there. You also get on a list to buy a new car. Cars are very expensive there, but your car cannot be too old, like about ten years. The cars are then taken and sold in other countries (read Malaysia).

The COE will be S$30000 to S$50000 alone… (permission to buy a car)

Yes. And then the car will be more expensive than in other countries. And we really only saw Mercedes, BMWs, etc. on the streets. Beautiful country completely controlled by their Government.
But no litter at all on the streets. Give up freedom for a pretty and expensive place to live? No thanks.
And Singapore just went back into phase 2 covid lockdown.
Indians sneaking into Singapore with fake negative tests. Seems Indians infected a bunch of people at Changi airport.
Scumbag H1B Indians posting how to get around the covid Indian ban. Our next wave and hence our next lockdowns:

The incoming pajeets will be crapping in the streets next.
