BUSABA THAI @ SUNWAY RESORT HOTEL & SPA

Thai cuisine is one of my hubby's favorites and the recent Thai restaurant we went to surprised us. I seldom visit Sunway Pyramid shopping mall (Honestly, I find the parking kinda confusing, and ever since they closed the entrance that I usually enter, I was even more reluctant to go >.<) but I've seen this Busaba Thai restaurant a couple of times while passing by - The 2 wooden horse decos at the entrance really do stick out like a sore thumb! :P Since we were at the mall last weekend and were sick of eating the usual same restaurants/food found in most malls, we decided to give it a try and were truly glad we did.

 Busaba Thai Restaurant is located beside the Pinnacle Sunway, which houses EGG (Eight Gourmet Gala), on the right side of Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa main entrance. You will definitely not miss the two spectacular iconic wooden horses standing at the entrance, and when we pushed the door open, we were immediately smitten by the lavish and swanky interior decor - wooden cushioned chair, huge paintings, exposed bricks, wooden ornaments, chandelier etc., all creating a classy yet whimsical, rustic yet elegant atmosphere. 
Busaba Thai Restaurant can be easily spotted from the main road. Look out for the two spectacular iconic wooden horses standing at the entrance.
Get ready to be astonished by the modern grandeur design once you push the door in.

Service was good. The staffs were very polite and our needs were quickly attended. Our orders on that day:
Khao Ob Sapparod - Authentic pineapple fried rice with prawns, topped with chicken floss (RM28.90).
Most of their dishes were spicy, so we ordered a pineapple fried rice so our LO could eat. This was pretty good - fluffy, light and tasty. LO liked it too. Btw, I loveee this portrait of a Chinese girl on their menu and also the huge painting hanging on the wall :D
Sa Tor Phad Goong - Stir-fried cluster beans (Petai) with chili paste, prawns and minced chicken (RM39.00).
I'm a huge fan of petai (We normally call it stinky bean)! This is the first time I see it being called 'cluster' bean, but when I googled 'cluster beans', the images show a complete different bean, so.... *shrugs* This dish was a lil salty to me.
Tom Yam Talay - Signature Tom Yam seafood flavored with lime, lemongrass and chilies (RM28.90).
A Thai meal is not complete without the sourish, hot & spicy tom yum soup. Busaba Thai Restaurant serves tom yum in individual portion. I think it was a lil pricey for this small portion, but they were generous with the amount of seafood: mussels, prawns, squid and fish. Each spoonful was packed with a wallop of flavor and the seafood were fresh. 

 All in all, our dining experience there was pleasant. Service was excellent, food was tasty, not to mention the awesome interior and ambience. Though a lil pricey, Busaba Thai is definitely worth a visit. They have found a return customer in me.

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
