OLIVER GOURMET @ TROPICANA CITY MALL

PERMANENTLY CLOSED


Oliver Gourmet is the new kid on the block offering its shoppers with a wide range of local and international brands of premium groceries, coffee, wine and pork. Located at the Ground floor of Tropicana City Mall, it is the newest member to join the other 3 high-end supermarkets in Damansara area (all within a 1km radius of Oliver Gourmet), namely the Village Grocer in Atria Shopping Gallery, Jaya Grocer in Starling Mall and Ben's Independent Grocer in Glo Damansara. Following the grocerant trend which is popular in high-end supermarkets in Malaysia these days, the non-halal section in Oliver Gourmet too offers in-store dining for its patrons, which focuses on premium Iberico pork.
Patrons can just order whatever meat they like, with or without add-on sides.
Consumers have a wide selection of meat and cuts, marinated and non-marinated, to choose from for their dish. 
We ordered a pork neck steak, a pork cutlet, skewers and potato wedges. All meat dishes are grilled and served with some pickled cabbage and their special sauce. As for drinks, you can order coffee or purchase any wine/soft drinks/beer from the store and enjoy them with your food. 
Pork neck steak (RM16.90).
Pork cutlet (RM16.90).
Pork skewers (RM12.90 for 3).
Potato wedges (RM9.90).
The meal was great! All meat were juicy, tender and rich in flavor. We were told the meat were only marinated with herbs but I suspect they probably brined them as well, to infuse the meat with savory, finger-licking flavors, while tenderizing it. By grilling them, it gave a delicious crust over the meat that sealed in the juices. Grilling also added a smoky flavor to the meat, which seemed to accentuate the other flavors. In addition, price was reasonable too! For those who are in the vicinity, (or those who simply love grocery shopping. Haha!) I would highly recommend to pay Oliver Gourmet a visit and eat while you shop!!

 Tips: They give free ice creams to kids too!

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
