It was then followed by product introduction briefing by Tanya Teng (Brand Manager for Skin Cleansing at Unilever (M) Sdn Bhd) and John Goh (R&D Deploy Manager, Home & Personal Care and R&D Site Leader at Unilever (M) Sdn Bhd).
Tanya Teng - Dove has continuously led innovations in the skin care industry and the introduction of NutriumMoisture™ technology continuous that tradition. We are thrilled our extensive research and testing has allowed us to be the first brand to minimize lipid damage with a liquid cleanser in order to provide long-term beauty benefits that strengthen and smooth skin.
John Goh - The new technology delivers hydration for skin barrier components and processes to help skin remain healthy and beautiful in the long-term when used daily. This technology represents an important change in the body cleansing paradigm. Body wash products have only tried to mask dry skin damage rather than effectively address it. By targeting skin directly where damage occurs (within the surface layer), NutriumMoisture™ technology helps build a foundation for the stratum corneum to become stronger and the skin smoother.
They also conducted a mini experiment to prove that the New Dove Body Wash with NutriumMoisture™ nourishes better than milk. You would be surprised with it!

| Chef Paul |
I don't cook and the both Uni and I was worried about the next session - cooking! Thank God that we were divided into groups and our amazing group were in charged in preparing dessert. Chef Paul started with briefing on what we are going to cook and luckily, he were there all the time to assist and guide us throughout the cooking session.

| The experience one! |
 |
| Less experience one |
Our amazing group consists of 5 awesome people with 3 of them who were better in cooking and us (Uni and I) who not so good in cooking? We divided our task brilliantly and the both of us managed to escape from holding the knife. :p
So, I was in charge in stirring the milk mixed with pandan milk which I thought pretty easy of all. Boy, I was wrong. It took forever to boiled. Worst part, I didn't even know how to switch on that electric stove until the Chef came and he was speechless with me. I know, but he said that he can see I have passion in cooking! Seems like he know how I wish to learn cooking badly too. :p

| Dessert: Pandan Pannacotta with mangoes |
Last but not least, our dessert - Pandan Pannacotta with Mangoes! Look at how it was nicely done and decorated. According to Chef Paul, it was great! Too bad that I could not enjoy this as much as I wish, and that also thanks to me being lactose intolerant. As you can see, it's pretty simple to prepare all the healthy and yummylicious dishes! You should try it at home too. :D
