Budimas Charitable Foundation presents ‘Night of a Thousand Blessings 2019’ at DoubleTree by Hilton

I was invited to the Budimas Charitable Foundation’s 4th ‘Night of a Thousand Blessings’ a few weeks back, which was held in The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel.

It was an extravagant night, and served a good purpose of raising funds for the children of this foundation.

For those of you who are not aware, Budimas Charity is a non- government, non-profit organisation and has been providing guidance and funds in support of the welfare and well being of orphans and underprivileged children in Malaysia for over two decades. 

In 2018 alone, they have managed to fund for over 

8,000 children via their three core programs; Budimas Home Charity Fund, Budimas Food Charity Fund and Budimas Education Charity Fund. 

Their goals for this year is to reach out to another 4,000 underprivileged children that needs help. 

The opening speech was done by the Chairman of Budimas Charitable Foundation, Y.M Tunku Dato’ Yaacob Khyra. 

There were many amazing performances by the children of this foundation. It was mind blowing! 

                               

And the paintings done by these children for the auction was just unbelievable! Below is just some of it.

This years event managed to raise a total amount of RM310,000 and it will be used for the Budimas Education Charity Fund(BECF). Through this program, Budimas will be building libraries for children in rural Orang Asli villages. Currently there are 8 libraries already established in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan in 8 different Orang Asli villages benefiting and providing for over a 1,000 children. 

Thanks Budimas Charitable Foundation for hosting this event for this wonderful cause.

Korean Secret Bento Box @ Barcook Bakery

In this modern era, social media and technology has taken over a big part of our lives and we tend to do everything online, via emails and text messages! 

Sometimes it’s nice to go back to the days where we write letters and cards to express our feelings instead of sending text messages, and this is why Barcook Bakery has launched their new food items, and it’s the Korean Secret Bento-Box!

It consists of small cakes, with flavours such as Chocolate, Strawberry and Oreo, which comes in a biodegradable box, and a free pen! 

The purpose being it’s easy for you to write or draw a personalised message for your loved ones while presenting this dessert to them! 

This concept has started in Korea and Barcook Bakery has brought it to Malaysia.

The cakes are light and fluffy, the cream is very soft and not too overwhelming, I managed to finish a whole cake myself, as the size is perfect for one or two people. 

My personal favourites would have to be the Chocolate cake and the Strawberry Vanilla Cake 🎂 

The Korean Secret Bento-Box is priced as follows:

1. Chocolate Bento =RM16.80 per box

2. Strawberry Bento =RM16.80 per box

3. Oreo Bento =RM16.80 per box
