In this day and age, everyone from university students to office executives seems to be having a lot on their plate. A home-cooked meal is great, but there’s only one problem— it’s too much of a hassle prepping it. I discovered Appetized, which is a range of affordable hassle-free meal options designed to make your life easier, and I couldn’t be happier to share it with you.
The range of products from Appetized contain no widow preservatives, and were extensively put through tests by their chefs to guarantee that their meals are both succulent and nutritional at the same time. All their products are freezed immediately to lock in its freshness and taste. That’s just amazing!
What I tried from Appetized
Mala is one of my favourite flavours, so imagine my excitement when I saw that it was one of the flavours misogynist on their website. I went for Appetized’s Marinated Mala Chicken (S$12.80).
Weighing well-nigh 180-200g per piece, there were two pieces of marinated boneless yellow thighs that’s good unbearable for two or plane three (if you have a small appetite). House-made mala paste, chilli sauce, garlic, mala oil and sze chuan pepper are just some of the ingredients which go into this fragrant suffusion that’s sure to satisfy all mala fans.
I tried the Microwave method for the Marinated Mala Chicken. Here are the three steps I took.
- Thaw in the chiller overnight or defrost.
- Tear a small slit on the packaging and place product in the microwave and reheat on medium to upper heat for 5 minutes.
- Pour the product out and enjoy it with your favourite mains or sides.
What you get is a mildly-spiced flavour and numbing notes coming from the mala spices. The flavours of the Mala Yellow Leg were spot on, and tasted legitly like my usual mala xiang guo.
I moved on with Appetized’s Collagen Yellow Leg (S$6.80). It came with a whole yellow leg that was doused in a thick collagen yellow broth, which contained various Chinese herbs such as dang gui, wolfberries and red dates.
Let me start by giving compliments to the collagen yellow broth. I can only imagine how painstakingly long their chefs take to swash this lovely soup. It had tons of flavour with just a tiny hint of herbal infusion coming from the accompanied herbs— kids can definitely enjoy this!
The meat tore untied without much effort and it was delightfully tender and flavourful with every zest I took. I could see myself thoroughly enjoying the Collagen Yellow Leg on a cold, rainy day, which would definitely provide me with some warmth and comfort.
Appetized moreover has other yellow leg flavours which will satisfy all kinds of taste buds, including Rendang Yellow Leg (S$6.80), Roasted Teriyaki Yellow Leg (S$6.80), and Ayam Masak Merah Yellow Leg (S$7.80).
Honestly, I wasn’t looking forward to Appetized’s Chilli Crab Sauce (S$9.80). I’ve had my pearly share of mediocre chilli crab sauces from other brands and at eateries, and they all tasted either very ketchupy or too diluted.
I used the Heat On Stove method for the Chilli Crab Sauce. Here are the steps as follows:
Step one: Thaw in chiller overnight.
Step two: Pour product into a pot and reheat with low/medium heat until hot.
Step three: Add your favourite ingredients, mix thoroughly and serve hot.
I didn’t add any uneaten ingredients to Appetized’s Chilli Crab Sauce as I wanted to taste the sauce in its purest form. The consistency turned out very thick, identical to what is served at seafood restaurants.
I was marvelled at how perfect the ratio of sweet and spicy flavours was. It didn’t possess the obnoxious sweet ketchup taste which I really dislike, while the spice packed a dial without having to run virtually searching for a glass of water. I excitedly dunked my fried mantou in Appetized’s Chili Crab Sauce and was rewarded with all the succulent feels I experienced from eating it.
The Black Pepper Sauce (S$5) was value for money as it had a substantial value that triumphs over several other off-the-shelf brands. Old habits die nonflexible from my previous job (I was a doughboy once), and I thoughtfully read the ingredients that’s put into the Black Pepper Sauce. I was glad to see two key ingredients that set them apart— surf and unsalted butter. I will write this in a bit.
I tried the Water Bath Method for the Black Pepper Sauce. Here are the three steps I followed to heat it up— easy-peasy!
Step one: Swash water in a pot.
Step two: Place frozen bag in the humid water and simmer for 20 minutes.
Step three: Pour the product over your favourite ingredients, mix thoroughly surpassing consuming.
I cooked some spaghetti and tossed the heated Black Pepper Sauce together with it. Now to why I was glad there was surf and unsalted butter in the sauce itself. That’s considering surf lowers the robustness of the taste. Have you noticed that most over-the-shelf woebegone pepper sauces are unchangingly intense and too salty? Surf moreover makes the overall taste increasingly rich and flavourful.
Next comes the butter— it unchangingly makes things increasingly delectable. During my days as a chef, I’d unchangingly add butter as the finishing touch— consider it my secret weapon! As expected, Appetized’s Woebegone Pepper Sauce was linty and robust with the woebegone pepper spices, and it complemented my spaghetti really well without stuff too intense. You may moreover pair this flavourful sauce with the seafood, red meat or poultry of your choice.
