Christmas 2020: 5 Easy DIY meal kits to try

The holiday season has always been a time to reflect on (and be grateful for) the good things, celebrate traditions, and have a fruitful time with friends and family. 2020 has been an unexpected year for everyone—what with limited social interactions and travelling allowed, many are looking to stay home for the festive season instead.

If seasonal recipes incite feelings akin to anxiety in the pit of your stomach, fret not—whipping up a scrumptious meal for your loved ones doesn’t always require prep-time in the kitchen for an entire day. Lucky for you (and all of us), these Klang Valley-based eateries have ready-made meal kits that will save you the trouble of having to cook this Christmas—and for you to have a jolly time indulging in a festive spread with your loved ones.

The designer bakery with a minimalist interior has come up with not one, but three different D.I.Y kits you can choose from for your Christmas gathering. Ranging from kombucha to their bestselling chocolate with sea salt cookies, each kit comes with all the ingredients needed and a simple instruction card.

One of the three DIY kits available is the kombucha kit; it allows you to experiment with and experience the fermentation process while making your very own rose juniper kombucha—the perfect fizzy beverage to kickstart the holiday season.
