CERDITO RESTAURANT @ PUCHONG

From the name, you should be able to guess what kind of food do they serve. Yes, it's OINK OINK! Located in the jam-packed area of Bandar Puchong Jaya, Cerdito specializes in Iberico pork, using it in both Asian and Western recipes. Once you enter, you are greeted by a comfortable yet elegant setting. With its contemporary interior, Cerdito is perfect for casual dining and also to impress your loved ones. It may look kinda posh, but rest assured that the prices here are pretty affordable.
Iberico Pork Sticks (RM30).

Hmm? Why aren't they skewers, like the name? It was written as "Iberico Sticks/Golden Crisp" in the menu, so... no sticks?? Apparently we mentioned the word 'golden', so they came in bite-sized portions - small chunks of Iberico pork, placed in the mini cup made of dumpling skin, topped with sweet and zesty salsa dressing. Well, the waiter did not explain that to us. I was looking forward to the skewers >.<

Here comes the main star:
Iberico Loin Ribs, served with Asian slaw and patatas bravas (RM45 for this single portion).
The loin ribs looked beautifully glazed and glossy. Well cooked, no doubt, as the meat came off the bone easily, but the flavor wasn't as good as it looked like - not as lip-smacking as I expected it to be.

Besides pork dishes, they also have chicken, lamb and seafood dishes to round out Cerdito's menu. 

Rosemary Garlic Lamb Chop (RM40).
Seafood Marinara (RM25).
Both were decent, but dried herbs were used to cook the lamb (I expected them to use fresh ones -_-) and it was slightly overcooked even though hubby asked for medium. Besides these, we also ordered a creamy mushroom spaghetti for our LO from their kids' menu (RM10, including a drink). Mind you, that was one peppery pasta, and it's supposed to be for kids?? Obviously, our LO couldn't eat it since she can't take spicy at all. We did complain to one of the waiters when he came to ask us how was the food and he told us that he would tell the chef to take note of this in future.

You definitely won't miss the huge neon signboard if you are there in the evening :)

Nevertheless, we had quite a pleasant evening. Good and polite service, and we could see the young fresh team is enthusiastic and passionate about what they do. So if you’re looking for some porky dishes and a lovely ambience, head over to Cerdito Restaurant.

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
