DELECTABLE HQ DESSERT CAFE @ GLASSHOUSE SEPUTEH

For those who are a fan of fancy cakes/sweets or the '7 sins of chocolate', the name 'Delectable by Su' shouldn't sound unfamiliar at all. Their latest outlet offers its patrons a dining area that looks out onto lush greenery. Located on the 2nd floor of the glasshouse (opposite the famous Siu Siu Restaurant), this impressive building boasts of floor-to-ceiling glass walls that allow you 360-degree views of its surroundings. Apparently, this is where Delectable's main kitchen is housed.

The cafe is cosy and quiet, creating a perfect ambience to sit down and chit chat with friends or just to have some private me-time. Photo taking here is fairly easy too as there is an abundance of natural lighting penetrating through the glass walls. We ordered the Banana Peanut Butter ala Mode, a slice of lemon meringue tart, a coconut latte and a ribena lychee soda (RM8, not in the picture). Waitresses seemed friendly enough but I felt they were sort of chasing us away when we were halfway chatting as they kept asking if they could clear our plates and giving us the look every time they walked past >.<

The banana peanut butter ala mode. (RM18)

Warm fudge brownie topped with a scoop of chocolate ice cream, butter cookie crumbles, fresh slices of banana and a giant dollop of peanut butter.

I would recommend sharing this as it was a little too rich and filling for one. Sinful!! Haha.

Lemon meringue tart. (RM12)

The lemon meringue tart fared better - slightly sour and refreshing intaste. By the way, the bowl of fresh crunchy caramel popcorn was complimentary! :D

Coconut latte. (RM11)

First impression of the coffee was 'Bleh' due to the failed coffee art. Luckily, the taste made up for it. It was smooth and the coconut aroma wasn't too overwhelming.

Besides desserts, they also serve some light hot food like lasagne, chicken pie and salad.

The interior.

Floor-to-ceiling glass walls allowed natural sunlight to pour in.

Figurines and cake decos.

The entrance.

All in all, I was happy with my sweets, except for the 'Are you done yet?' looks, and I think the prices were reasonable too. The glasshouse itself looks cool and can be rented for events. Will probably be back for the Delectable Edible Terraniums when there's a group celebration.

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, ...
