Banana Leaf Rice

Everyone at RedRibbon Days loves Banana Leaf Rice. We love it so much that we only employ people who enjoys banana leaf rice. Really, "Do you like Banana Leaf Rice?" is one of our RRD interview question.


To us - banana leaf rice equals celebration. We have banana leaf rice in the office for all of our birthdays. For New Year Eve celebration this year, we had banana leaf rice too!

Our takeaway banana leaf rice is not possible without our RedRibbon Days PTC Team Leader - Ramyah. I've accompanied her to take away and she can order the whole spread of dishes in 1 sentence. I can never do that. She can even get the waiter at Devi's corner to help us carry the food all the way to our car!!

Since I started talking about Ramyah, maybe I should continue blogging about her. A picture of Ramyah below:

For our RedRibbon Days' customers who have called us during lunch time, you will notice that there will definitely be someone that picks up your phone although it's Lunch time. Well I cant promise that the person's right hand is not be filled with curry (like the picture above).

And I cant promise if you provide your details to us during lunch time, we have no hands to write the details down (below):

Oh yes, other than having banana leaf rice for our team members' birthdays, each of us get a cake on our birthdays too.

I cant guarantee that your Team Leader does'nt do this (below) :

Because clearly, she really genuinely enjoys bullying people on their birthdays ;) (below)

Sherin of all Trades

Our RedRibbon Days Founder and CEO, Sherin Wong, is one Superwoman. She not only introduced experiential gifting to Malaysia, she also has many talents.

She is very hands on when it comes to event planning. She makes sure the flow of event is perfect. A picture of Sherin and Dato Rosyam Nor planning the itinerary for our Balistik Premiere (below):

She loves trying out new experiences on RedRibbon Days as well.

Recently she learnt how to shuck oysters.

Shucking oysters is not as easy as it sounds. It's even harder on really enormous live oysters (below)

 Sherin is also a photographer (below)

She is also an umbrella girl (below)

Other than managing RedRibbon Days and RK Screen, this superwoman also sells curry puffs on the streets. haha! (below)

See how serious she is when she's working (above)

Love for Red Ribbons

RedRibbon Days was founded by Sherin Wong in 2007 and was launched in June 2008. I asked Sherin Wong, why the name RedRibbon Days. Her answer: "Because Red Ribbons always symbolise gifts, presents. When we buy a gift, we will wrap it and tie it with a ribbon". But the truth is, I think Sherin just loves the colour red and ribbons.

Well, not only Sherin has a thing for red ribbons. Our Head of Security and Assistant Head of Security at RedRibbon Days also love red ribbons.

Christmas Lunch at RedRibbon Days

Every year, we usually plan our Christmas dinner with the RedRibbon Days team in advance. This year however, was extremely hectic for us so we did not get the opportunity to plan our annual Christmas dinner in advanced.

On the 24th December, Sherin decided to gather the team and have our Christmas lunch together. We have an amazing team - as soon as Sherin mentioned that we were going to have our Christmas lunch together, the team started decorating our meeting room with candles and Christmas decoration.

We had Mexican food for our Christmas Lunch. I had Steak (below).

Although we did not plan our Christmas meal together in advance, we managed to organise our annual Experiences Only Kris Kringle.

I received an experience from Joanne (below)

I always wanted a PA and I told everyone to give me the PA experience this year if they pick my name. Joanne decided to give me a PO experience. What is a PO experience? She calls it the Personal Opener. Meaning, she will open the door for me, open the cap of my water bottle... in short open anything for me.






I was a little disappointed so I aimed the Christmas popper at her. Haha! Dont worry, no one was hurt during that experience (below)

Japanese Taster Menu

I'm so glad that our RedRibbon Days' Hunter and Gatherer team brought in Kuriya as our new experience partner. I love the food in Kuriya and having amazing Japanese food as a gift is a great idea.




Although I am usually interested in trying out extreme and adventurous experiences, I decided to bring my family to try Kuriya's Christmas Menu. The food was amazing and I was quite disappointed because this menu is only valid till 25th December 2013.

Some photos of the food below:

Starter (below)

 Gindara Teriyaki Kampung Chicken which tastes as good as it looks (below)

 Roll Sushi (below)

 Wagyu Beef - Marble Grade 7 Shabu Shabu (below)

 and my favourite - the dessert (below)

We were so full at the end of the night but were extremely satisfied. I even bugged the Restaurant Manager to let us promote something similar on our website and was happy that he said yes. For those that is looking for a great Japanese dining experience as gifts - check out this experience - Kuriya Taster Menu for Two.

RK Screen

2013 has been an amazing year for us at RedRibbon Days and we are extremely thankful and grateful. We not only expanded our business (increased in sales - corporate and retail sector), we also diversified our business into film production. Our RedRibbon Days sister company - RK Screen is a partnership between RedRibbon Days and Datuk Rosyam Nor.

Our first movie that will be in the cinemas on the 9th January 2014 is Balistik. Check our the trailer here and the teaser here. Lets support Local Films and watch this movie! I absolutely love the soundtrack - Balistik Cinta.

We had our movie premiere on the 17th December 2013. We decided to use RedRibbon Days to manage the movie premiere. After all, Redribbon Days is amazing in events! Our RRD (RedRibbon Days) team was incharged of everything from tshirts preparation, gift packs, media kit, to managing the whole event to ensure it was smooth.

Looking back, now I know why all of us had backache:

We had to tie ribbons on 800-1000 tshirts (above).

Some photos on the day before the event (below)

Picture of Ramyah and Sharmein above. Notice the RedRibbon Days Buntings? Yup, Sherin's really good at marketing RedRibbon Days.

I am looking forward to 2014 because there will be more exciting things coming up for us at RedRibbon Days - possibly another diversification? #Blessed

Sherin's birthday Dinner 2013

This year we celebrated Sherin's birthday dinner with her friends at Redribbon Days's new partner's place - Hit and Mrs. 

We have an amazing team that is really good at organising events - Kids' birthday parties, team-events etc but I am not part of the amazing event team. And because I'm not part of the event team, I've never organised any events. My first event that I organised was this year - Sherin's birthday.

We did a pretty good job - Thanks to Sharmein that did most of the planning and execution with Ramyah's help.

Sherin's Birthday Celebration 2013

At RedRibbon Days, we always have birthday lunch celebrations with the team. Previously, the birthday boy/girl gets to choose their favourite food so we can order and eat together. Sherin's favourite food is Nasi Padang so previous years we have been eating Nasi Padang together.

This year however, I changed the tradition. Everyone can order their favourite food on their birthday as long as it's Banana Leaf Rice! My favourite! So we had banana leaf rice for Sherin's birthday. It's really cool because we even take away the banana leaf back to the office.

Oh i realised i didnt transfer the photo of Sherin with the banana leaf rice. If you want to see the amazing banana leaf rice, please check out my other blog (sorry i got to promote my other blog too. Haha! Here!)

A picture of Sherin with the team (below)

Sherin received a RedRibbon Days experience from the team and an amazing Andy Warhol picture of her.

Twenty One Kitchen and Bar

I rarely blog about my RedRibbon Days dining experience that I've tried but I was looking through my pictures and decided to blog anyway since I rarely take photos of food. OK, actually it's not true... I was looking through the food pics from Sherin's phone. I may be wrong but I always thought food is for eating and not for pictures. Haha!

We had the opportunity to experience Modern European with a Touch of Asian at Twentyone recently.  It was Sherin's November Birthday celebration so we celebrated with Sherin's family members who flew down from Singapore to celebrate with her.

The three course set menu allows us to choose our choice of starter, main and dessert.

I love the wild mushroom soup with truffle cream & cheese croutons. I didnt order this dish by the way. But i wished I ordered it. It tastes better than it looks (above)

 

 I ordered the caesar salad (above). It's not bad but I prefer the mushroom soup.

For mains, we had a choice of Sirloin Steak, Chicken Tikka Masala or Pan Fried Sea Bass but all of us ordered the steak (below)

The steak was okay but I couldnt finish it. The portion was too big for me.

And finally for dessert, my favourite lemon tart (trust me, tastes so much better than it looks) (below)

This experience does not include any alcohol beverages but if you are going for dinner, try to do an earlier dinner because their Happy Hours at Twenty One is really good value for money.

And after the filling dinner, guess what, we had to eat Sherin's Pavlova birthday cake! Now I know why I felt like exploding that evening.
