SANOOOK @ SUNWAY PYRAMID

Nestled in a quiet corner of the Sunway Pyramid Hotel West lies Sanoook, the Thai and Japanese restaurant. Sanook means ‘fun’ in Thai and the extra 'O' is to represent a circle of friendship. Sanoook's most attractive asset is its creativity - melding Thai cooking with the spirit of Japanese culinary arts, creating a whole new culture of fun dining. Both Thai and Japanese cuisines are hubby's favorite, so here we are, taking a break from our shopping session:

Tom Yum Soup with Prawns (RM23.90).

First off, Tom Yum Soup with Prawns, poured from sake carafes. What's a Thai meal without Tom Yum Soup, eh? I was kinda expecting something hot and fiery. Well... It was not too scorching, perhaps terrific for those with less desire for fire, but honestly, it tasted exactly like those made from instant Tom Yum Powder. Disappointing, I must say.

Veggie Skewers (RM15.90 for 2)

Next up, the veggie skewers - cherry tomatoes, broccoli, zucchini, mushroom and capsicum, served with their signature sauce (Tasted a little sweet and peppery, with a mild curry aroma). This was juicy, but I didn't really like the sauce.

Deep Fried Duck with coffee sauce (RM38.90).

I was curious about the coffee sauce, so I ordered this duck and it turned out the WORST of all >.< It was so damn fried that it was kinda hard to chew and swallow. NASTY!!!

Thai Lychee Ice Tea (RM9.90)

Vitamin Pumpster - Orange + Carrot + Apple (RM10.90)

To get to Sanoook, you can cross over from Padini Concept Stall in Sunway Pyramid and take the escalator down one floor.

Verdict: A friendly and fun place to chill, but food definitely needs improvements. The Impressoul Gastrology (Korean-Japanese fusion Restaurant) opposite looks pretty cool and I would love to try that the next time I'm in Sunway again :D

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
