Christmas Party

with Children from Rumah Juara

 

 

In celebrating this year’s Christmas, PHOP has tied up The Curve to sponsor a Christmas dinner party for 30 orphans from Rumah Juara in our newly renovated outlet on 6 December 2007. It was a fun-filled evening of games, jokes and songs with the Vince Chong ! Of course all the kids finished all their pancakes – mini Amarican stacks with chipolatas, cheddar & ham; and PHOP’s “Pot of Gold” for desserts ! It has been a tradition at PHOP to throw parties for the under-privileged children in all our outlets every year. We will certainly continue to do it in the future and hope to bring joy & laughter to all the kids.

PHOP Brunch parties with orphanages

 

The ‘P’ in PHOP stands for both passion and people. Our team is a bunch of passionate pancake people who love to spread the joy of having pancakes to all. 

 

As a token of our appreciation to all pancake lovers and our loyal customers, as well as fulfilling our commitment to make a difference to the community, PHOP has been sponsoring parties for orphanages on a yearly basis since it opened for business in 2005. Most importantly, we know that the children simply love our pancakes! Nothing would make us happier than sharing the joy and bringing smiles to all these children when they are truly enjoying the pancakes at PHOPs.

 

In 2007, in conjunction with AIESEC in University of Malaya, PHOP sponsored pancake parties for children from Trinity Home and Agathians Shelter. The party for Agathians Shelter was held at PHOP@ 1 Utama Shopping Centre on Saturday 5 May 2007 10.00am, while the party with Trinity Home was held on Saturday 12 May 2007 10.00am at PHOP @ Hartamas Shopping Centre. The children were treated with savory American pancake stacks with chipolatas & ham, followed by our irresistible dollar pancakes with ice-cream, marshmallows & chocolate sauce. Everyone had great time in the parties indeed !

20 December 2006, 2.30pm

Pancake Cooking Workshop

 

  

 

PHOP @ 1 Utama had a pancake cooking demonstration in conjunction with the shopping centre’s weekly lifestyle programme, Strictly Female, a free session for all shoppers to enjoy workshops such as cooking, beauty, entertainment, etc.

 

Let’s flip it right ! The audience got to learn to make ‘specialty’ pancakes which are delicious and healthy, and yet easily prepared at home at any time using fresh and simple ingredients. It’s also a rare occasion that one would discover some secret recipes that would transform ordinary home-made pancakes to “Perfect Paddington Pancakes”!

 

Intan, our outlet service manager, was the MC for the day, with our outlet head chef, Azmi, demonstrating pancake flipping for the audience. We have chosen 2 special pancake varieties – one savoury and one sweet. Firstly, it was the golden polenta (yellow cornmeal) pancakes with walnuts served with breakfast sausages, ham and scrambled egg; followed by oatmeal raisin pancakes served with fresh fruits/bananas.

 

The response to the workshop was overwhelming, with many questions fielded during the Q&A session. We were very happy that the audience really liked the pancakes and received very positive comments during the pancake tasting session, that they took second or even third serving ! We would certainly introduce the two new varieties into our menu very soon !

 

Thanks everyone who attended the workshop and took the interest to know more about pancakes. We certainly hope to see you soon any PHOPs. Also, we would like to extend our appreciation to the management of 1 Utama Shopping Centre who helped us organized the event, as well as Intan, Azmi and all our staff in 1 Utama who helped to flip and serve such perfect “Paddington Pancakes”!

The dinner was well attended by See Hoy Chan Holdings Group chairman Tan Sri Teo Soo Cheng, 1 Utama Shopping Centre director Datuk Teo Chiang Kok, many invited guests, journalists and children.

It was a joyous evening, everyone could certainly feel the Christmas spirit with PHOP’s Christmas decorations and all our service staff donning Santa hats. After the official cake-cutting ceremony, the guests were served with main course of either grilled chicken breast with cranberry sauce or boneless lamb cutlet with cinnamon apple sauce, both served on Dutch pannekoek. It was followed by PHOP’s most popular Treasure Box as dessert – mini dollar pancakes piled with fruits, nuts and ice cream.

We would like to thank 1 Utama’s management again for the opportunity of hosting such as a memorable annual event, and we look forward to having more of such parties in future !

 

AGAPE HOME, Rawang

PHOP@HSC hosted an afternoon tea party for the children from the Agape Home on Saturday, 7 October 2006. Established in May 2003, Agape Home was set up to offer a love-filled home for orphans, abused and abandoned children plus those from economically challenged single parents.

The kids have warmed up to our place quickly, getting acquainted with PHOP’s staff, sharing jokes and laughter! They were served with our traditional American pancakes with ham, chipolatas & cheddar, followed by ‘pot of gold’ – mini dollar pancakes with lots of marshmallows, nuts, chocolate sauce and ice cream. They were especially delighted during the dessert session, almost everyone going for more servings of ice cream.

It was certainly a pleasure to be able to bring smiles and joy to these children. Thanks to all our staff who were involved in organizing the event. A special thanks to Pastor Henry too, who made all these possible !

Precious Children’s Home, Petaling Jaya

PHOP@The Curve sponsored a pre-Christmas party for the children from the Precious Children’s Home of Petaling Jaya. Precious Children's Home is a home for street children, orphans, children with single parents and destitute children whose parents are involved in various vices. There are about 20 children in the Home ranging from three to 16 years old.

It was the first pancake adventure for many of the kids. They started with one of our savoury American stacks, followed by mini Treasure Box as dessert. In the end, most of them asked for extra chocolate ice-cream !

Overall, it was a fun-filled session and the kids enjoyed the outing. Although they were like little strangers when they first trooped into the outlet, they started to get warmed up with our place soon after, as we could see them laughing and running around the outlet. It was certainly a pleasure for all of us at PHOP to be able to bring smiles and cheers to these lovely children.

We also appreciate the kind gesture of them coming back on Christmas day to perform caroling for all our customers. They have certainly brightened up our outlet with their red Christmas costume !

PHOP will be hosting more charity events or any other fun activities from time to time in the future. Customers are more than welcome to participate or bring your family along to party with these children. If you have any suggestions on charity events that you would like us to help out, just contact us !

Last but not least, thanks to all the staff @ PHOP that worked hard to make this event a successful one !
