Yes! Yes! Yes! I’ve finally bought an oven. It all started when I was looking through The Star paper few weeks back and chance upon an advertisement by Kee Huat Radio showcasing their free standing Europa OvenMate electric oven.
We visited Kee Huat Radio‘s showroom at Sea Park last Saturday. Our main objective is to have a look and get information about that oven. From what I gathered from the sales person, Europa OvenMate is an Italian brand, all internal oven parts are made from Italy but is assemble in Kee Huat Radio’s plant at Shah Alam.
Would you have a yellow or red oven in your kitchen? No right? Ugly hor? That’s why they stop selling color oven. But my mom said they’re pretty.
There are also free standing cookers (cooker + oven),
clothes dryer and washing machine samples at the showroom.
This free standing electric oven, Valencia retails at RM1198 but is selling at a discounted price of RM980.
VALENCIA 688E specification:
* Dimensions : 675 (H) x 500 (W) x 575 (D) mm
* Electric Oven
* Electric Grill
* Thermostat Control
* Bell Timer
* Oven Lamp
* Jet Cook System (produce even heat distribution)
* Oven Sliding Grille : 2 Sets
* Oven Capacity : 52 litres
We didn’t plan to buy the oven on the day itself. But due to the persuasiveness of the salesperson and my dad (would you believe it he said: Buy now la. Since we’re already here. Do you want to make another trip here?), we bought the oven.
Come meet my new oven, Europa OvenMate VALENCIA 688E. Yeah it’s cute and short hor. :laughing: We placed Miss Valencia on a wooden stand. To make her taller, we place our microwave on her head. :laughing:
Currently I’m looking for a dog cake recipe. I promised Chester I will bake a cake for his birthday. 
As for you guys, I can only show ‘mouth-watering’ cookies and cake pictures lor.
p/s: I would like to express my displeasure at the staff who attended us. This is the first time in my life as a customer that I was told to unpack our purchase from the store room all by ourselves. It wasn’t easy unpacking the oven because the oven was surrounded by planks that are nailed together. We were brought to the back room and dad was asked to disengage the planks with a hammer. Where was that staff? Attending another customer outside.
Too bad I’ve already paid for the oven. If not I would storm out of there immediately.

Don’t forget bout me, che-cheh. :party:
Oh No! You’re gonna make me drool at all your baking from now on.
I remember the name Kee Huat radio from the Radio 4 days. Was the tagline, “That’s what you buy always”?
Wow! Very good one! Have u used it? Bake any cake? Show us plz!
ahh…why did u have to unpack the oven?
I thought their name is Kee Huat Oven? Haha… when you want to bake some cakes for us? :skull:
Mo-C, yeah cute eh.
Dreamcatcher, they don’t sell radio now. But according to my parents they used to sell radio. Ask your parents they might have heard about this company. Mom said this company has been in existence since she was a teenager.
Saoirse, forget what? I dao tai ha wor.
Jemima, hmm I’ll purposely make it look ugly. ok? :tongue:
Daniel, no. “We back what you buy – always”
Monkey Wong, yes I have. Will show next week.
Wuching, kena ‘hap’ lo. :crying:

eh! the ketuhar not bad le wei! really cute woh, never seen a ketuhar got so many colour of choices before! How much you bought that? :star:
what can you do with oven? I just know how to use microwave oven only…
Wow congrats on your new oven! The service really terrible leh!!
Hcfoo, hey you’re back. :hug: Soon I will show.
Babyfiona, yeah indeed very cute. I bought it for RM980.
Vhanded, same stuff you can do with a microwave oven.
Narrowband, thanks. Yup horrible.
How’s the cake coming along? :dog:
Neo, really good. I’ll show you my cookies next week. But can only see lor can eat. :devil:
If I were you, for that price, I will get a microwave oven. Don’t you think paying for just the oven is not worth it? Plus that oven is quite bulky ler.
Hijackqueen, we prefer those conventional oven because they are more spacious because they can bake alot more. Plus we already have a normal oven at home. Somehow we don’t really like using mircowave a lot…not really good for health lor.

Hi, I’m looking for electric oven and google search results brought me here
Just would like to know what is your review for your Europa oven thus far? Mind to share the experiences?
Thanks
Hi Lee Ping, I’ve been using this oven for over 2 years. Still loving it. So far no problem whatsoever.
I would recommend this oven to anyone. Affordable and it did best for what its built for. Don’t have to buy those expensive one.
Wow! Great to hear that~ thanks!
Okay, my next to-do is to visit Kee Huat
Lee Ping, you’re welcome
hi, stumbled upon this writeup on europa oven.. was driving around look for oven with budget around 1k. its either butterly, europa or zanussi.. glad if you can feedback. need to purchase soon.
Hi Joanne, I’m very satisfied with my Europa oven. Been using it for 2 years plus.
hi there, i’ve been looking for a europa oven and found your comments here..very useful indeed..tq, but i wonder if u can tell me how much was the price last time? many thanks.
hehe..i wrote that message before seeing others’ inquiry to you..i got it already..its RM980..but im not sure if we can get that price now.. i ask around and its 1K++ i wonder if that price is ok..thanks again.
Hi Naz09, I bought the oven at RM980 during sales. Retail price is RM1198. I saved RM218! Hmm depending whether you need to use the oven urgently. If you don’t need to use the oven now, why not wait during sales period?
But then RM1198 is cheap compared to other ‘branded’ ovens.
congratulations on ur new oven
so this oven must be good ? close to RM1K wor
I’m thinking to get a new oven too ^_^
Oh forgot to ask, what is the max pan size ur oven can fits ?
Thanks!!
Simonne, Hi it’s not a new oven. 3 years old already.
I’m not sure about the max pan size but looking at the dimension, probably it can fit more than 40cm pan size I guess. [Dimensions : 675 (H) x 500 (W) x 575 (D) mm]
ello che cheh…i search ‘europa oven’ and they drop me here…nice to ‘selak2′ your blog..its already 2 years u beli that europe oven tp i baru nak tercari2 ni…ramai yg sajes me to buy this brand tp i belum survey berape harganya sekarang…
Fiza, hi there
This is a good oven and valued for money. I’ve not had any problem with this oven even after 3 years plus of usage. You can go ‘tinjau2′ the price. Not sure increase or not ya.
hai che cheh..I find parts for my oven. Mirror door is broken. where I can get these parts? kindly advice me.
tq…WAN
Hi Wan, you can contact Kee Huat Radio. I’m sure they will help you to find the parts for your Valencia oven.
Hi, Che-Cheh.
Good choice for oven. I’ve used mine for almost 19 yrs now, only twice ‘broke-down’ but repair was less than RM100 each time. Really worth it, considering sometimes I bake for 12 hrs straight. Back then, it was only RM600. Hehe.
Cheers frm me.
Zai, Wow 19 years?!? wohoo that good eh. Guess we both made the smart choice. Haha.
After reading this all comments i can’t wait to go and buy this oven……….Thanks for all info
Welcome Amna
Have one question can u please tell me oven size…i mean can we put two 12 muffins pans in one time?
