FOO FOO FINE DESSERTS @ TTDI

Another new dessert establishment! Nestled on the first floor along Jalan Burhanuddin Helmi, Foo Foo will definitely woo all dessert lovers with their FINE desserts. As we were halfway climbing up the 25 steps, one of the owners (I assume) who was behind us quickly offered to overtake and opened the door for us! (Maybe he thought I must be struggling carrying my 10kg LO up the stairs. Haha!) But because of that, first impression: Superb service!!

We were ushered to our table almost immediately and seeing it was our first time there, that same guy gave us some suggestions on what to order or try. We settled for the Mango Lychee Ice Cream Slice with Fruit Salsa since it was a damn hot day and also the Strawberry Tart.

Mango Lychee Ice Cream Slice with Fruit Salsa.

This (supposedly their best seller) was truly refreshing especially on a hot day! It's somewhat like a cheesecake; a thin layer of lychee jelly, mango ice cream and fresh mango sorbet on a layer of biscuit base, served with lychee and mango & pineapple salsa.

Strawberry Tart.

As claimed on their Facebook: Our Strawberry Tart is a buttery short crust filled with frangipani, homemade strawberry compote and crème pâtissière, topped with sliced strawberries and one scoop of Balsamic Vinegar Ice Cream for a sweet-sourish delight. Yeah, yeah, I know, balsamic vinegar ice cream sounds a little eccentric. To be honest, I've only used it in olive oil bread dip and also in cooking but ice cream?? Frankly, the first mouth of the ice cream tasted kinda weird to me, however, when eaten together with the tart, they turned out to be a pretty good match!

Overall, with their simple yet cozy environment, this is a good place to sit down and unwind, while enjoying a beautifully plated dessert paired with unique house-made ice creams.

Nice and relaxing.

They were in the midst of putting the paintings up.

Though I didn't manage to try as many desserts on the menu as I had initially planned to, I'll definitely be back to try the rest soon.

YACON SOUP WITH CORN AND CARROT

Was shopping at the usual supermarket recently when I saw a lady promoting something which, from far, looked like sweet potatoes to me. I didn't pay attention to her til she called out to me and handed me a piece to sample. She was promoting organic yacons, not sweet potato. The moment I put it into my mouth, I remembered eating this looong time ago, but because I seldom see it in the supermarkets, I had totally forgotten about such a thing. The yacon is a traditionally grown for its crisp, sweet-tasting, tuberous roots. Though the root looks like a sweet potato, the taste and texture are completely different. Its crispy texture, juiciness and mildly sweet taste makes it somewhat similar to water chestnut or snow pear. It can be eaten raw or cook. It is said that yacon is very high in fiber and low in calories which makes it a healthy and nutritious snack. Some of the health benefits of yacon include its ability to regulate blood sugar ...

CHINESE ARROWROOT SOUP WITH PORK BONES

This is the simple version of the Chinese arrowroot soup (Also known as 粉葛湯 'Fun Kot Tong' in Cantonese). Our family love drinking this soup. It is tasty and cooking it with pork bones and dried squid makes it sweet and refreshing. Some people who like boiling arrowroot together with lotus roots or peanuts, and my mother-in-law usually boils it on its own and drink as 'cooling' tea. Naturally sweet and tasty. If you don't like seafood, you can choose to omit the dried squid. This is how the Chinese arrowroot looks like. The arrowroot is a type of root plant similar to taro, potato or tapioca. However, it is harder in texture and incredibly starchy. When it is cut up, it has patterns that looks like the ages of a tree trunk. It is usually made into powder and used as thicken agent in cooking. The arrowroot is high in protein and fiber which is very beneficial to our body. Ingredients: 1 medium-sized Chinese arrowroot (Approx 700g) 10 red dates, ...

APPLE SOUP WITH BLACK FUNGUS AND RED DATES

I realized we women often busy ourselves taking care of family members and at times end up neglecting our own health. Besides handling tons of household chores, mothers and housewives must allocate time for themselves to relax, meet up with friends, or to cook nutritious soup for themselves! I came across this special soup recipe for women and would like to share all the other women out there. Black fungus reduces fat. Apple promotes indigestion. Dried tangerine peel strengthens spleen. This soup is suitable for mothers who often finish leftover foods so that they aren't wasted as it can help get rid of excess fats that are the result of over-eating. Ingredients: (Serves 1 - Me! lol) 1 piece of black fungus 2 apples 5 red dates lean meat or pork bones, approx 200g 1 piece of dried tangerine peel Adequate water Rinse red dates and remove pits. Soak dried tangerine peel until soft and remove white pith. Rinse apples, remove cores and cut them into pieces. Scald...
