DOTTY'S PASTRIES & COFFEE @ TTDI

Yeah, yeah, I know I'm a little behind on this because the salted egg craze is kinda over (The 'in' thing now is the Japanese molten cheese tart). I'm not really a fan of salted egg and what's more, salted egg with sweet pastry just sounds wrong to me >.< But one afternoon I went out for coffee with my sis-in-law, coincidentally her office is in Taman Tun and she was interested to try this place, so here we are. 
The first time I came across the term 'Cronut' was in the American sitcom '2 broke girls'. This sitcom is hilarious and I loved the character Max so much - beautiful, vulgar and funny at the same time. Anyway, cronut literally means a hybrid between a 'croissant' and a 'doughnut' and this Salted Egg Yolk Cronut is Dotty's signature pastry. 

We reached there at about 2.30pm and as usual, business was good. It's packed most of the time. We were greeted by a huge glass window displaying what Dotty has to offer; breads, tarts, cakes, donuts etc, and a bright and cheerful dining space. Service was warm and polite too. We sat down and placed our orders: the Salted Egg Yolk Cronut for me, of course, and my sis-in-law went with their Special of the Day: Salted Poached Egg Soft Shell Crab. 
The signature salted egg yolk cronut (RM11).
Unfortunately, it was already cold when served.
The cronut was crispy, gooey and creamy but it didn't make me go nuts. Lol. Sugar high, yes, but definitely not crazy or excited. It was too rich and sweet that I had to stop halfway. I just couldn't stomach anymore of it. The feeling was 'jelak' (A common Malay word that we often use here), which means satiated by a food, particularly a food that is too rich, to the point that one feels repulsed by it. Perhaps it's better to share this as I find it overly rich.

Salted Poached Egg Soft Shell Crab (RM28).
The Special of the Day fared better - Poached egg drizzled with hollandaise sauce crowned on fried soft shell crab with salted egg yolk and English muffin. The garnishing was kinda sloppy though. Take note: this thing might look small but it is REALLY filling!

The Flat White and Salted Caramel Latte were so so. If one is adventurous, you could try the Doughnut Affogato - the fried confection dunked with coffee & ice cream in a cup. Not sure how it's like but I can't imagine myself eating a coffee and ice cream soaked doughnut using a teaspoon. Lol... 

The interior - mainly in black, white and tiffany blue.
Besides pastries, they also serve sandwiches, burgers and big breakfast.
In sum, service was good. Food and drink, acceptable but the tableware they used was lovely :) Will I go again? For the cronut, once was enough for me but to try other pastries/desserts, maybe.

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
