Seedbox The Vietnamese spring roll or gòi cuõn is distinguished for its many qualities, but ultimately the freshness it embodies is what sets it apart from every other roll out there. And it is particularly this crisp freshness that we were on the hunt for when we came across SeedBox on Instagram. Known for their “bright, earthy and organically colourful” summer rolls that come bursting in a tasty array of flavours ranging from Blue Prawn and Unagi, to vegetarian-friendly Eggshroom, Roasted Pumpkin and Tofu Steak.

“Waah so nice the bottle! Waah so nice the colours! The flavours are good also! You should try it waah.” What I currently refer to as the waah texts, woke me up one morning when a friend insisted on eagerly spamming me with myriad colourful images, showcasing what is, admittedly, an aesthetically pleasing Kombucha beverage doing the rounds on Instagram. Kindly Cultured – an entirely local pursuit that began their journey a year ago and began sharing their love with us all in June 2021 has ratcheted up positive reviews not just for the quality of their vibrant and tasty offerings, but also for their modus operandi. Practical and eco-conscious, the minds behind the brand source ingredients directly from local farmers as they wander from stall to stall, market to market, ensuring we all sip top-notch fruity goodness. Using black and green teas as a base, and available in pandan serai, strawberry, cranberry, mixed berries, passion and dragon fruit flavours – the antioxidant rich, metabolism boosting beverages are ultimate thirst quenchers on a hot humid day … which is practically every day, hint-hint. Just remember not to throw those bottles away, for every eight 500ml bottles you return will get you a drink on the house!
