Abba Seafood & Ocean King Launch

Happy Wednesday Journeyers!
I cannot believe I already celebrated my birthday 10 days ago! It feels like forever.
But I am not here to talk about me We are here to talk about a invitation I received to a very interesting event. It involved food, and if any of you are following me on Instagram you will know that...well I love food. I dragged Christine along to see what a blogger / media event is all about. We arrived at Let's Meat and were taken to the deck where we were welcomed by the lovely host of the evening, Seshu.


A little background on each of these products:


"Abba Seafood is the market leading Scandinavian seafood brand, with strong traditions in quality 
and excellence dating back to 1838. Driven by a passion for flavour and a genuine desire to help people enjoy the great taste of high quality seafood, Abba’s core team of 350 employees leverage its annual turnover of EUR 140 million to distribute its products in 30 countries world-wide.
Sweden is Abba’s home turf where it enjoys the wolf’s share of the market in the herrings, caviars and anchovy categories. 80% of its seafood turnover is generated in this market."


"With almost 30 years experience, Ocean King ® is committed to supplying quality canned seafood that is affordable, convenient, delicious and highly nutritious. Ocean King ® is passionate about the marine environment and adheres to sustainable fishing practices to ensure the continued health of fish populations."


After we were given the background of the products the tasting started. Platters were placed all along the table with food looking good enough to eat! And that is exactly what we did! hehe
There are a big variety of choices, from Herring, Tuna, Spreads and Caviar. They also had 2 guests that I was very excited to see and meet. Khumo and Tumi from 2013 MasterChef SA. They were my 2 favourites so when I saw them I was glad to be able to tell them that. :) 
Red and Black Caviar.



Abba Seafood spreads. (I actually saw the Spar on Hobart sells them.)
Khumo, myself and Tumi.
The products that my taste buds enjoyed the most that evening was the Tuna and Red Caviar. As we left each of us received a beautiful gift from Abba Seafood and Caviar. I had a wonderful time learning about and trying out these product. Quality food at a affordable price. Cedric of course is loving all the caviar.

Christine and I.
I met the beautiful Sue Levy that evening. :)
Seshu and I.
I want to thank Seshu and her team for inviting me and for hosting a wonderful launch, as well as Abba Seafood and Ocean King. 

Our cute gift.

A lovely evening filled with delicious seafood and champagne = Success!

I was wearing:
Skirt - Georgie.B
Tank top - Woolworths 
Shoes - Luella
Jewelery - Lovisa and Truworths

So if you are a working lady/man, and you loves to wine and dine your friends, then this is the product for you. I cannot wait to read if any of you have tried it and what you think of it?

I am not sure where you can find these products, but I have seen them stocked at Hobart Spar. :)

Have a blessed day everyone and remember - wear your crown! Because all of you are Kings and Queens!

Kream Restaurant

Hello Journeyers!
I have to tell you about the amazing food experience I had on Saturday at my beautiful friend's birthday. We went to Kream Restaurant in Brooklyn. WOW. The restaurant is beautiful. I think one can have lots of wine drinking while chatting the night away evenings here. She booked a nice room in the restaurant for all the girls to get together. We were separate from the other customers so we could laugh and be jolly and wouldn't disturb anyone. Our waitress Simone welcomed us and I was very impressed with her. Always on top of everything. And to handle a group of 10 ladies, well we can be a handful. We also had the friendly Ramon who made us feel relaxed and happy to be there! She added little finishing touches to each persons seat by giving them a little Lindt chocolate with their name on it.



My beautiful friend - Amelia







As we were a rather big group she decided on a mouthwatering set menu for us to feast from. With a big variety of the most delicious dishes to choose from, it was quite hard to decide what to take as everything sounded divine!
She made the Menu
A roundup of what starters everyone had: I had the prawns. (Pic 2) No words to describe how good this was!






We spent the evening reminiscing about Amelia when she was younger, it was so nice to hear all the old family fun stories. Her sister Elsje took the photos for the evening and made a heartwarming speech. I had tears in my eyes and Amelia sat sobbing next to me, smudging the white serviettes with her mascara.

Then we were ready for our mains to be served. Delicious. I went with the Catch of the day which was Kingklip, my favourite! :)







I'm so hungry now from looking at these photos and thinking back on how good the food was. Then any girls best part of any meal....desert!!! I had the Ice Cream and Bar One sauce, but after seeing the Malva Pudding I was a bit disappointed for not taking that instead.



To my beautiful Am, thank you for being such an amazing friend to me and for seeing me as one of your Special girls. You are such a blessing in my life and I am very proud to have you as a friend. I hope you had an amazing night and may you find love and be blessed to the ends of the earth! Always stay this amazing and beautiful! I love you Am! xxx



And to Kream! I hope I will be seeing you guys again shortly. Your food and service was magnificent and I have been raving about it since Saturday. Keep up the fantastic work!

Have a blessed day everyone!
