TOSSED @ JAYA SHOPPING CENTER

Brought LO to watch The Baby Boss. Went to the nearby less crowded Jaya Shopping Center since we didn't pre-book or bought the tickets in advanced. For those who have not watched this animation, I thought it was pretty funny - totally exceeded my expectations hehe. Anyway, we needed to have lunch before the movie. There's nothing much in Jaya Shopping Center, honestly. We've tried a restaurant called Red Olive before and the food sucked. As we were roaming around the mall looking for a place to eat, our LO suddenly pointed and said she wanted to sit on the swing. We looked to the direction she was pointing at and saw some indoor hanging chairs in this small restaurant called Tossed. This little restaurant looked pretty cosy so we decided to give it a try. After browsing through the menu, we went ahead and ordered these:

Chicken Chop (RM20.50).

I took the Chicken Chop - Grilled boneless whole chicken leg (You can choose for deep fried too), served with signature house gravy, vegetables and fries. At first glance, it looked pretty much like the Hainanese chicken chop with the peas, mushrooms and tomato gravy, but it wasn't. The gravy was more like just a mixture of chili and tomato sauce >.< I don't think the chicken was marinated beforehand too as it was tasteless. The only thing good about it was that the chicken meat was tender.

Salmone pasta (RM22.90).

Hubby ordered this Salmone pasta. The menu says 'Fresh salmon chunks in creamy tomato sauce' but we couldn't really see the salmon chunks, mostly just tomato chunks. Tastewise, OK.

Apple & Lime Twist (RM13).

This is one of their signature drinks - Quite refreshing.

Shaken Iced Lemon Tea (RM8).

My Iced Lemon Tea tasted more bland than the Lipton Iced Tea -_-

The 'swing' that LO wanted to sit on.

Tossed is located on Level 4 of Jaya Shopping Center.

Overall, Tossed is a cosy place to hang out, with the hanging chairs, beanbags, comfortable lighting and all. It's located on Level 4 - pretty quiet, which makes it a good place to relax and have a chat with friends. To be honest, eating while sitting on the hanging chair wasn't thaaaat nice. The front and back movement every time I need to scoop the food into my mouth was kinda annoying, but that's just me. Hehe.

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 ...

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...

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, ...
