FRISSON COFFEE BAR @ DAMANSARA UPTOWN

Being a prime district of Petaling Jaya, Damansara Uptown is well known for food. With so many cafes and restaurants to choose from, you are spoiled for choice. I've heard and read plenty of good reviews on this Frisson Coffee Bar, so we decided to drop by on a random weekend for brunch.

Simple exterior.

The interior.

Cozy ambience.

The dessert bar where the make waffles.

Frisson serves typical cafe food like pastas, pizza, all-day breakfast sets, desserts (waffles & cakes), and of course coffee. Since I thought it was kinda too early for waffles (Regretted making this decision when the sweet smell of waffles filled the air while I was halfway through eating my toast -_-), I went ahead and ordered the All-day Eggs, Toast & Jam. I wanted the TripleB French Toast but the waitress told me it wasn't available. My hubby took the Frisson Big Brekkie.

My salted caramel latte.

This was pretty good :)

All-day Eggs, Toast & Jam.

Frisson Big Brekkie.

Typical fluffy scrambled eggs and a typical American breakfast. What's worth mentioning here is the Frisson's freshly-baked Cranberry Poppy Seed bread. Instead of serving the breakfast sets with the ordinary toasts and sourdoughs, they served them with soft, warm and naturally sweet flavored cranberry poppy seed bread. Loved the bread to bits! Even my LO liked it because she kept opening her mouth for more!!

I would visit them again to try their desserts. Had no room for waffles this time after my toast set and 'stealing' some of my hubby's HUGE big brekkie. Overall, Frisson is ideal for quick lunches, lazy weekend brunch and late afternoon tea.

So, I came back for their waffles!

You can choose any 2 toppings, but I only chose bananas.

Crispy waffles topped with a scoop of milky chocolate ice cream, banana and chocolate sauce. Decent, but not as good as I expected.

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, ...
