Chef Alina busy at the cooking demo.

PETALING JAYA, Jan 14 — Chef Alina Hew had the chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven, as well as the pastry case for the fruit tart, so the room was beginning to fill with the delicious aroma of baking.

Earlier, she had demonstrated how to do both at the newly-opened Bosch Home Appliances Brand Store at ESH in Petaling Jaya.

Crème brulee was next on the list. She wanted to show us how easily this could be done in the Bosch Steam Combi Oven. There was no need to immerse the cups of beaten egg yolks, cream, vanilla and sugar in a water bath as the recipe usually called for. The combi oven is equipped with a container of water at the side to release the steam as the crème brulee cooked.

"The steam combi oven can also bake cakes. It's suited to the moist kind of baking," said Alina who runs Café Madeleine in Sunway University.

It is also possible to steam vegetables, bake bread and roast joints of meat in this oven. "You can steam two cups of rice in 15 minutes," she said. There is a warming drawer at the bottom to keep the food warm after cooking.

This steam combi oven was fitted in after the coffee machine and the microwave. It gives an idea to potential customers as to how the appliances can fit in their own kitchens, as well as how the cupboards can be built around them.

"Our new brand store here signifies our extension of influential innovations that have changed and improved people's lives," said Gary Ong, managing director of BSH Home Appliances, who officiated at the grand opening of the store, together with ESH chairman Ng Theong Keong and Edward Ng, ESH general manager.

Shopping here has the added excitement of "live" interaction through regular cooking events and customised demos. "The store will help us build awareness of the Bosch brand in home appliances by being closer to the customers," said Ng.

Cooking demos will be held monthly at the Bosch Home Appliances brand store, the first to be opened in Malaysia. Call 03-7875 3906, 016 229 3501 to check on the dates and time.

Bosch refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, vacuum dryers, cooking and small domestic appliances are all displayed at this store located at ESH Electrical (M) Sdn Bhd, 6 & 8 Jalan SS 2/24, 47300 Petaling Jaya. You could also visit the Bosch website.
