ITS CRUNCH TIME THIS FOOTBALL SEASON WITH MISSION CHIPS!



Get your game on with Mission Chips this footie season and max your enjoyment of the great tasting tortilla chips with some delicious dips! Mission Chips made its official debut in Malaysia recently right on time for the upcoming FIFA World Cup Season. Perfect for shin-digs or just plain snacking, the authentic tortilla chips made from 100% real corn comes with a promise of 30% less oil than regular potato chips. That’s a score right there!

According to Randall Tan, Brand Manager of Mission Foods South Asia, the all-corn flavoured Mission Chips makes a tastier, healthier snack compared to various other snacks available out there. All Mission corn tortilla chips are completely cholesterol-free with zero grams trans-fat per serving and are shelf stable.

“We wanted to introduce Mission Chips as the quintessential chips and dips snack to be enjoyed with the family or when entertaining friends especially during the upcoming football season. It comes in six flavours, can be enjoyed with any sort of dip as it is made with superior quality ingredients giving it that authentic crunch that consumers love,” said Randall as he welcomed guests at the football themed launch of Mission Chips.

To illustrate how well the chips go with dips, Mission engaged the highly talented private chef Isadora Chai to demonstrate dips with a local twist that can be prepared in minutes at home. Chip and dip plates are a real crowd pleaser, and pretty much anyone will enjoy the laid back feel of an easily accessible snack table crunch. To kick-start ideas, Isadora showed how to make Mission Curried Cream Cheese Dip and Mission Sarawakian Umai dip and shared her recipes for Mission Spiced Green Pea dip, and Mission Sweet and Spicy Tomato Coriander Dip.
According to Chef Isadora, “Mission Chips is not your average chips as they are thick and crunchy making them great for dips, or even on their own.”

For those who want to entertain but find themselves stretched for time, Isadora suggested making cheat dips using sauces bought from mamak shops or food stalls. With a little bit of imagination, even leftovers can be used to create a delicious mouth-watering chips and dips bar. Isadora’s cheat dips, Mission Chicken Satay dip and Mission Crunchy Spiced Mint Chutney dip made using store-bought pasembur sauce and mint chutney were a hit at the launch.

To fully engage with Malaysians during the World Cup season, Mission will be hosting its Mamak Invasion football viewing parties at selected Mamak shops in the Klang Valley throughout the FIFA World Cup season, kicking off on June 13th at BRJ, Wangsa Maju at 4am. Patrons of the shop at that time can look forward to Brazil-themed entertainment, games and prizes, free Mission chips and dips, and activities that will capture the bona fide spirit of the FIFA World Cup 2014. For a schedule of the viewing party, please refer to the enclosed schedule.

The chips which come in 65 g and 170 g bags retail at RM2.99 and RM6.99 respectively. Up the ante on snacking and score with Mission Corn Chips today.
