Red Seal All Natural Toothpaste From New Zealand Now Available In Malaysia

 Red Seal Toothpaste From New Zealand - Now Available In Malaysia

Malaysian fans of the Red Seal Toothpaste can take heart that their favourite Natural toothpaste is now available in Malaysia. Toothpaste is one of the most important personal care products that we routinely used everyday sometimes up to 3 times a day. But we fail to really acknowledge what is in the toothpaste that goes into our mouth.

With the recent launch of the highly trusted New Zealand brand Red Seal Natural Toothpaste in Malaysia, we will be able to use a more natural and safer brushing experience.

"The mucosal lining inside our mouth has about 90% absorption efficiency and we are exposing our health to many toxic chemicals in our toothpaste without us knowing about it. Therefore we want the ingredient to be as natural as possible." Says Red Seal's Naturopathic Expert Michelle Irving.

The Red Seal toothpaste ingredients replace those chemicals with more natural extracts and essential oils like eucalyptus, aniseed and peppermint. The combination of the ingredients makes the toothpaste highly alkaline and creates an environment that discourages the growth of bacteria in our mouth.

There are a total of 5 varieties of Red Seal Toothpaste, with their signature being the Red Seal Natural Toothpaste. It is a combination of 12 herbs and extracts to help remineralization and killing off bacteria to prevent tooth decay and plaque formation. It has a mild, minty pleasant taste, and is suitable for the whole family.

For individuals who are ulcer-prone, there is a special formula which is Red Seal Natural SLS Free Toothpaste. It is free of Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS). It provides gentle protection on the mucosa layer. It is also suitable for people who wear teeth braces.

The third formula is the Red Seal Baking Soda Toothpaste which is used to remove stains and is particularly more suitable for coffee & tea drinker. It also has an effect as a natural teeth whitener.

While the Red Seal Propolis Toothpaste contains 100% New Zealand Bee Propolis with antiseptic and antibacterial properties and is ideal for those that suffer from gingivitis and sensitive gums issues.

The final varieties are the Red Seal Kids Toothpaste for the little ones. The taste is specially enhanced with real banana and peach flavours. The great taste encourages the kids to brush their teeth without having to worry about the risk of swallowing harmful chemicals.

The range of Red Seal Natural Toothpaste is available exclusively at all Caring Pharmacy in Malaysia and is priced between RM18.70 to RM28.20.  For more information on the range of Red Seal Toothpaste. please visit www.redseal.com.my or Red Seal Facebook Page

Passione Ristorante Italiano @ Sri Petaling Authentic Italian Restaurant

Sri Petaling Soft Launch of Passione Italian Restaurant

Italian Food connoisseur at the nearby neighbour of Sri Petaling Kuala Lumpur is in for a real treat as the recently opened Passione Ristorante Italiano aka Passione Italian Restaurant has just recently opened its door at 19, Jalan Radin Bagus 9, Sri Petaling, 57000 Kuala Lumpur to serve you some of its artisanal Italian cuisines.

Watching Our Video Review.

Passione Ristorante Italiano is a casual Italian dining with a cosy ambience and is the brainchild of a well-travelled Italian Chef. Chef Stefano which hails from the Italian town of Abruzzo is well known for its pasta dishes.



Here at the restaurant, he showcases his skills in the handcrafted Italian always fresh pasta and pizza offering with an on-premise high heat Wood Fired Oven.

The menu offering of Passione Ristorante Italiano features a wide selection of pork-based dishes promising pork food lovers with a unique experience of authentic Italian cuisine that is not commonly available in Malaysia.

We had the opportunity to taste out some of his special dishes starting with the AntiPasto All'Italiana which is a selection of premium wafer-thin slices of cold cuts that are paired with cheese and Italian pickles. Perfectly, matched with a glass of white wine.

Next on, we had the Spaghetti Chitarra Al Porcini. The spaghetti was made inhouse handmade and we can see it from the unique broader cross-section and the porous texture of the spaghetti.



The chef uses a tool which has a nicknamed of a guitar from which the name Chitarra is derived. The spaghetti is then cooked within a brown sauce together with the cube porcini mushroom as the sauce is absorbed into the spaghetti.

For the main course, we had the Guancia Iberica Al Montepulciano Con Verdure Al Vapore. It is actually an Iberica Pork Jowl which is braised in red wine sauce and is served with steamed vegetables. The braising was done to perfection as the meat texture is fork tender and literally melt in the mouth.

For desserts, we had the Tiramisu which is a classic Italian dessert of coffee flavoured ladyfingers with mascarpone cheese and crunchy chocolate.

It was truly an experience of the Italian way of dining and tasting the fine Italian dishes that were specially crafted out by Chef Stefano.

Passione Ristorante Italiano was set up for one to enjoy the fine art of western cuisine which has a Cocktail bar on the ground floor for some pre-meal cocktails. Among some of the recommended cocktails include the Mela Gin & Tonic, Maestro Viola, La Signora Rosa and Calamansi Cielo. The bar also serves speciality Peroni Italian Beer.
