MY BLUE TEA CHEF PROFILE Nora Haron Once you see and taste Chef Nora´s culinary creations, you will be tempted to take her home with you. Eating has never been this exciting! You get to taste food from home that has an exciting international twist plus a good dose of family love injected into it. Based in San Franciso, Nora is someone who has managed to not only retain authenticity in her cooking but has also completely redefined the idea of global cuisine, mixing flavours that enhance each other. There is absolutely no clash of cultures in her dishes. It is impossible to put Chef Nora in a box and label her cooking as one or the other. She is in a league of her own. NORA HARON RECIPES NORA HARON Daring to be Authentic and Beyond Chef Nora Haron's background is Singaporean, of Indonesian-Indian descent. With a grandfather from Kerala, South India and a grandmother from Java, Indonesia, Chef Nora grew up living and breathing all the rich, exotic, wonderful spices. In fact, her grandfather had his very own special curry spice mix. None of the ready-made mixes bought from a supermarket. Chef Nora´s childhood memories were delicious ones where she would go with her mother sourcing for all the individual spices needed to make grandfather's special curry. Blending it all Together Having had a solid foundation with her mother and grandmothers as her culinary gurus, Chef Nora went on to attend the San Francisco Baking Institute. Now she leads the culinary team at Red Bay Coffee in Oakland and is also the Director of Culinary for San Francisco's 4P's Restaurant Group. Interestingly enough, her real inspiration for diverse cooking came from her mother while helping her prep meals in Singapore. Chef Nora has managed to blend the authentic with the diverse in her cooking and as far as she is concerned, whatever labels people place on her cooking, ¨the flavours are still home ¨. Chef Nora is well-known in San Francisco , and her genuine love for cooking and how she enjoys feeding her guests is evident. Beautifully blended species and carefully chosen ingredients all respectfully and skillfully cooked together - these keep guests coming back for more. This is cooking for the sake of enjoying a culinary experience, and it is growing die-hard fans who love authentic Asian cuisine as well as those who are open to tasting exciting new flavours. Don't Forget the Dessert As a trained pastry chef, baking is something that brings her joy. Her desserts carry her signature authentic and diverse flavour where you just want slice after slice of cake without needing to impose a label on it. Is it Singaporean, Indonesian, Indian, Californian, American? It is simply put, Chef Nora-n. It is food made and filled with love, which is how Chef Nora wants it to be, and how she wants her guests to feel after a dining experience with her - full to the brim and drunk on culinary love. Kueh Lopes. A childhood favorite with a twist: Glutinous Rice, Coconut, Blue Pea Flower and Coconut Sugar Syrup Did you Know? ​ A little side tidbit for those who do not know - Chef Nora used to work for Martin Yan in the cooking series, TASTE OF MALAYSIA. Chef Nora was behind the scenes prepping ingredients and the finished dishes for Chef Martin Yan to his live audience.” Coconut Milk Bread with Pandan made with Pandan Powder Powder it Up! My Blue Tea was introduced to Chef Nora via Malaysia MasterChef Judge, Chef Jo on Instagram. We are so delighted with how social networks can bring people together from so far away! When we connected, Chef Nora ordered some superfood powders from us. This was during the COVID-19 lockdown and it took more than a month to arrive from Australia all the way to California. It was a nerve-wrecking time - we were both anxious the powders would not arrive in time for her to make her amazing Cinta Nasi Lemak with Blue Rice to serve her friends. All good things certainly do come to those who wait and Chef Nora got right down to experimenting with our powders and created these gorgeous beauties here. We can´t wait to see what new creations Chef Nora would come up with next! Chef Nora's Cinta Nasi Lemak with naturally tinted Blue Rice is now one of her popular offerings!

Benefits of Blue Butterfly Pea Flowers Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a Clitoria Ternatea. Commonly known as the Blue Butterfly Pea Flower. The plant is native to equatorial Asia. The flower is commonly used in cooking, baking and drinks and as a natural food colouring. The Clitoria Ternatea is also used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. BLUE BUTTERFLY PEA BENEFITS Butterfly Pea flower (also scientifically referred to as Clitoria Ternatea) is noted for its bright blue edible flowers. Aside from its many culinary uses, the blue butterfly pea vine has been used in Ayurveda as well as traditional Asian and Middle Eastern medicine for centuries. Its health benefits (improved memory, balanced mood, and a healthy immune system) are increasingly supported by modern science. This potent powder is known to promote vitality and healthy ageing. It is chock full of antioxidants, including pro anthocyanidin (which supports skin collagen and elasticity) and anthocyanin (supports hair and eye health). Both of these ingredients help promote the overall healthy life cycle of your cells. Blue Butterfly powder is a notable nerve tonic, and provides support to the digestive, circulatory, and central nervous systems. The key ingredient in this tea is the Butterfly Pea flower which is native to South East Asia. This ingredient has beneficial anthocyanins (which provide the blue colour) and has a variety of health benefits such as: Eyes The presence of the anti-oxidant, proanthocyanidin, helps to improve eyesight by increasing blood flow in the capillaries of the eyes which also allows the eyes to adjust to changes in light and improves vision. The blue butterfly pea vine flowers have been shown to effectively prevent cataracts and glaucoma, correct blurred vision, and reverse retinal damage as well as soothing inflamed and tearing eyes. Hair The blue butterfly vine flower, rich in bioflavinoids, has been used traditionally to promote hair growth, thicken the hair and reduce greying of the hair. Skin Anti-oxidants in blue butterfly pea flower stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis helping to rejuvenate the skin, reduce wrinkles and other effects of ageing skin. Aphrodisiac Traditionally used as an aphrodisiac particularly for women and used to treat problems associated with menstruation as well as leucorrhoea (white vaginal discharge). Brain Nootropic – enhances cognitive functions including heightening intelligence and enhancing memory via acetylcholine localised to the hippocampus. ​ Stress A known Anxiolyhic – reduces stress and anxiety – calming effect. Relaxes smooth vascular muscle aiding blood flow. ​ Pain relief Analgesic – helps to relieve pain to the extent it is used as a local anaesthetic. ​ Diuretic Promotes excretion of water (urination) which decreases blood volume thereby lowering blood pressure, also used for fasting but typically temporary weight loss. Other benefits include: ​ Anti-inflammatory – the deep blue flowers contain flavonoid pigments similar to blue berries, acai berry, mangosteen rind etc. that protect the plant. When you inject the flower the effect is remarkably similar to the anti-inflammatory effect of the plant in nature. Aids diabetic activity by inhibiting glucose intake from the diet. Noted anti-cancer and anti-tumor abilities resulting from cyclotides that cause cell death by disrupting cell membrane integrity. Anti-pyretic –reduces fever by dilating the blood vessels just beneath the skin which increases blood flow near the surface of the skin where it can be more easily cooled by the air. Loaded with antioxidants – that helps boost circulation and collagen production and prevent premature ageing. * It’s been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine as a memory enhancer, a stress alleviator, to lift the mood, and it is believed to balance blood sugar levels. Strengthens the hair for healthy hair growth/prevent hair loss and greying. Possesses anti cancer properties. *Keeps skin glowing & healthy *Treats urinary problems. *Improves eyesight & night vision *Treats eye infections. Detoxifies the whole body. Enhances memory. Enhances immune system.

Vegan Chef Dave MY BLUE TEA CHEF PROFILE Vegan Chef Dave ​ Sailing across the seas as a chef on one of the world's most prestigious cruise liners was to be one of the highlights of Chef Dave's life - but something just didn't sit right with his soul. ​ He realised he didn't know where his ingredients came from, and then he didn't like what he found out. So he decided to make a fresh start, and become a Vegan Chef, and educate others on how easy and delicious this new life path can be! Chef Dave The Vegan Chef "I'm currently working on veganizing all traditional Malaysian, and Asian food to showcase to the world that being a vegan is much easier than you think." Things didn't start off Smooth Sailing for this Chef-on-the-Seas Vegan Chef Dave hails from a small-town called Jementah, in Segamat, Johor, Malaysia. He started his culinary career in a culinary school in Malaysia, and has also graduated from UK universities, attaining a bachelor’s degree in hospitality management, and an MBA. He then went on to work with 5 Star international brand hotels such as Shangri-La Hotels and Resort since 2012, and in 2019 was sailing with the Disney Cruise line as a western cuisine chef. But all was not sailing smoothly for Chef Dave, as he became more aware of the issues of climate change, and the contribution of the animal and agriculture industry towards it. The end of 2019 marked a turning point in his life, when he came across two videos about cruelty in egg industry as well as dairy industry. So he started to assess the impact of his actions, as a chef sailing around the world and working with top companies. He realised he did not know where his ingredients were coming from. ​ Making an impact So, he decided to go vegan and stand solidarity with animals. To fight for injustice happening towards animals and be a voice for the voiceless. That decision truly impacted him a lot especially when thinking about his career and future. Dave choose to be a person who lives happily without harming himself, environment and others [he meant to reduce and avoid as much as he could]. While still trying to find the best way to be a voice for the voiceless, he realised that he doesn’t need to stop doing what he loves – which is making delicious food – he just needed to change how he did it! Dave started cooking vegan food and inspiring people on how we can survive and thrive with delicious, nutritious food without bringing harm to animals. This is especially a feat in Malaysia, where the awareness of veganism is truly lacking. His current project: Veganizing all traditional Malaysian, South East Asian and Asian food stage by stage to showcase that being a vegan is much easier than you think. It is a simple choice that could set another life free. Chef Dave hopes that through his social media presence he can share his journey as a vegan chef who will inspire others through his contents on vegan life, food and travel. After 10 months on this new journey, Chef Dave currently has more than 50,000 followers across social media, and is recognised as one of the chef under Masters of Malaysian Cuisine promoting Veganised Malaysian cuisine to international audiences, and started his plant based food business as a social mission to make Malaysian healthier with Whole Food Plant Based meals. ​ And Vegan Food is Delicious! Follow Vegan Chef Dave's journey across his social media channels! ​ YouTube Facebook Instagram Twitter Making a presence ​ Chef Dave can be found posting tips, challenges and just day to day stories across his many social media channels in multiple languages (he speaks English, Bahasa Malay, Tamil, and Mandarin) As if that wasn't a full time job enough, Chef Dave also presents at hotels, educates the public on TV shows, or partners up with other prominent chefs on some shows! Both Dave and Jackie are currently doing live cooking shows with Tourism Malaysia and Masters of Malaysian Cuisine, MOMC. "I hope my journey can inspire others as a vegan chef with content surrounding vegan life, food and travel. " Feeding a crowd Chef Dave has inspired countless others with his personal content based around his vegan life, food and travel Vegan Nasi Kerabu Chef Dave's mantra is eating should never be boring, and especially true when veganising traditional family favourites! Purple Sweet Potato Smoothie Looking for a boost in your day? Try powering up with Pea Milk and our Purple Sweet Potato Latte blend! Vegan Satay Creative and delicious vegan satay. Add My Blue Tea's Kaffir Lime Powder for a kick to the taste buds. Vegan Mee Goreng One of Chef Dave's popular dish, vegan fried noodles.
