WALFFEINE @ SEAPARK

Another waffle place in my neighborhood! As its name suggests, Walffeine (a portmanteau of waffle and caffeine) specializes in serving waffles, but with a twist, for e.g. waffle burgers and waffle sandwiches, besides the usual sweet dessert waffles. This tiny little waffle place is located right opposite the Seapark wet market, sharing half a shop lot with a CD/DVD shop.

Note that Walffeine is a Muslim friendly cafe and only HALAL ingredients are used in their menu :). We were ushered to our table by a friendly Malay waitress, who then took our orders. The interior is very simple - grey walls with wooden tables and steel chairs. 

The interior.
Honestly, I was disappointed. I had imagined this tiny place would be filled with the sweet smell of waffles the moment I walked in, but no. Our orders took quite some time to come, probably about 20 minutes. 

Savory waffles: Texas Chicken Burger, served with chips.
This is the Texan chicken burger, which is basically a chicken fillet burger served with waffles instead of buns. 

Sweet waffles: S'more Chocolate.
Since I'm more of a sweets person, I opted for the S'more Chocolate - waffles topped with marshmallows, a scoop of chocolate ice cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce. This tasted better because of the rich chocolate ice cream. Their waffles? I personally felt they didn't have that crisp and eggy aroma/taste that I preferred. They were more of the soft, chewy kind.

Walffeine also claims that they serve the specialty coffee brand, Bristot, in order to provide the best coffee experience for all customers. Their hot latte failed to wow me too.

My hot latte.
Would I be back? No. Fluffed Cafe & Dessert Bar (which is also in the same vicinity) serves wayyy better waffles. (You can read about my review on Fluffed here).

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 levels, lower 'bad'  choles

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,

LEAN'S @ ATRIA SHOPPING GALLERY

Tong sui are a Cantonese specialty. If you've grown up in a Cantonese family, you must have had tong sui before. The term 'tong sui' literally means 'sugar water'. It is a collective term for any sweet, warm soup or custard served as a dessert at the end of a meal in Cantonese cuisine. My dad is a huge fan of tong sui : red bean soup, peanut soup, barley ginkgo and black sesame soup being his favorite. I'm not really a tong sui person but I remember seeing this Lean's place in Atria that sells a variety of desserts, including tong sui , nyonya kuihs and light meals, so I brought my dad there to try when my parents came over. It was afternoon teatime when we arrived. We were feeling a little hungry, so we ordered 2 nasi lemak bungkus, a cucur udang, steam cakes for my LO, black sesame cream, barley ginkgo and bubur cha cha. Nasi Lemak bungkus (RM3.70). Cucur udang (RM3). Pandan and vanilla steam cake (RM1.50 each). Nasi lemak is a famous lo
