Idealite 生命阳光 (Invited Review) – Part II

11 Apr

This is the kid’s breakfast set. Lovely, isn’t it?

Mainly consist of bread, fruits, vegetables and eggs. Nutritious and health-conscious.

Noodle :

Their noodle selections are  Spinach 菠菜/Pumpkin南瓜/Buckwheat 蕎麥.

I was told that their curry does not use coconut milk, but organic oatmilk instead.

Green Curry Ramen (招牌青咖喱辣面- RM9.70)

Their green curry is sweet-based and non-spicy thus easily acceptable by kids.

Organic Lo Ramen (有機滷味拉麵– RM9.70)

I personally did not favour this dish. I think it’s too plain to stir up my appetite.

Organic Dry Ramen (有机干捞拉面 – RM9.70) – Buckwheat

I found this dish to be acceptable, surprisingly, partly due to its cider juice taste.

Organic Curry Ramen (有機咖喱拉麵 – RM9.70)  [...]

Signature Sesame Paste (招牌黑芝麻糊 – RM5.70)

The first question I threw out after I tasted the first spoonful of this sesame paste was, ” What blender do you use?” “ThermoMix.” “Hmm…….no wonder so smooth!”  Frankly, I was deeply impressed ever since this first welcoming dish.

The ingredients of this signature dish consist of  black sesame, cashew nuts, brown rice and organic brown sugar. They were finely blended and it’s more fragrant than what I have tasted elsewhere.

富贵展红图 (干贝蟹肉翅)Braised Crab Meat Shark’s Fin [My rating : 9/10]

I felt guilty for eating shark fin, but then to be frank, the taste of this dish was simply superb!

一团好和气 (海蜇花鸡仔)Deep Fried Spring Chicken with Jelly Fish [ My rating : 9.5 /10] 

Everyone of us gave two-thumbs up to these deep fried spring chicken. The size of the spring chicken was rather small compared to those we had at seberang (bagan lalang) but then these spring chicken were a lot more outstanding in terms of delicacy. Non-oily texture with thin deep-fried skin. [...]

31 Jan

This is a new restaurant at the corner shop lot after the Lorong Kampung Malabar, serving Thai & Nyonya cuisine.

Asam Pedas (RM8.00 – 2 fish) My rating : 8/10

This is an absolutely appetizing dish. It would be greater if heated with candle warmer during serving.

Thai Style Roast Chicken (RM11.00) My rating : 8/10

Spice- flavoured roast chicken, a good choice for those who like moist gravy type instead of dry belacan chicken.
