Host party with three-course meals from FairPrice

Extend your hospitality to your loved ones this long Easter weekend by hosting a garden party, summertime soiree or simple house gathering.

If you do not know where to start, FairPrice Housebrand has whipped up the perfect three-part menu - appetiser, main and dessert - that can please any crowd and is a breeze to put together using its easy-to-follow recipes.

An appetiser that will appeal to many is FairPrice's version of the Garden Salad, using Pasar Organic Cherry Tomato, Pasar Organic Japanese Cucumber, Pasar Organic Lettuce and FairPrice Housebrand Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

The Pasar Organic Cherry Tomato contains nutrients such as vitamins C, K1 and B9. The Pasar Organic Japanese Cucumber has thin deep green skin containing edible seeds near the core of its crispy flesh, and the Pasar Organic Lettuce has layers of crispy green leaves.

Pasar Organic, NTUC FairPrice's housebrand label, offers more than 20 types of fresh products originating from Thailand, and is approved by organic food certification body Department of Agriculture Thailand through a stringent audit by Agrifood Technologies.

Possessing a distinctive fruity taste and smell, the FairPrice Housebrand Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Italy is naturally cholesterol free, trans fat free and contains Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.

For the main course, you cannot go wrong with spaghetti and sausages.

FairPrice Housebrand Whole Wheat Spaghetti from Italy is the Healthier Choice as it is higher in whole grains, and is trans fat free and cholesterol free. It is suitable for preparing tomato-base pasta with meat.

An all-time favourite, FairPrice Housebrand Chicken Franks from Denmark is trans fat free, halal certified and made from real chicken meat.

As an icing on the cake, how about an ice cream pound cake for dessert? All you need is the FairPrice Housebrand Chocolate Pound Cake and FairPrice Housebrand Vanilla Ice Cream (2 litres) to make this sweet dish.

Also available in vanilla, mocha and blueberry, the FairPrice Housebrand Chocolate Pound Cake is moist and flavourful - simply thaw before serving or toast it for a crispier texture.

Made from quality ingredients, the FairPrice Housebrand Vanilla Ice Cream (2 litres) from New Zealand is palm oil free and trans fat free, and also comes in strawberry and chocolate flavours.
