Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for your feedback. We understand you are not completely satisfied with the first half of 2020. As such, we would like to offer you a time refund. This extra time will be tacked onto the end of your natural lifespan - giving you a full SIX (6) months more life!
2. Covid-19 stay-home recipe: Make char siew over a stove
Don't have an oven but want to make char siew at home? Yes, you can. With a sturdy wok or pan, you can rustle up tender honey-glazed char siew, complete with a slightly charred exterior.
The best part about home cooking is that you call the shots when it comes to the choice of ingredients.
Commonly used cuts of meat used for char siew are the pork collar or shoulder butt (wu hua rou in Mandarin), or pork belly.
3. WATCH: AH BOYS TO MEN

Who would have thought a 2012 film would be on the charts eight years after its release?
Local movie Ah Boys To Men - about a privileged, impulsive young man who tries to escape national service - landed on Netflix on June 1 and has been doing well on the streaming service.
Directed by Jack Neo, the movie stars a host of home-grown talent, including Joshua Tan, Maxi Lim, Wang Weiliang, Noah Yap and Tosh Zhang.
