The Yogitree @ The Gardens

I am a fan of desserts, pastries and cream, tea time would be my most favorite meal of the day. But nowadays, people don't only eat cakes and have tea during tea time. People can eat it anytime of the day. Even restaurants are selling their tea time set for the whole day. The other day i saw a deal in Dealmates for a Tea set for 2 at The Yogitree, The Gardens. I've always pass by this Cafe and wanted to try out the food there. This is now my chance to try the food out. 


The deal comes with :
  • 1 Pesto Chicken Bruschetta (3 pieces)
  • 1 Grilled Vegetables Caramelized Onion Bruschetta (3 pieces)
  • 2 Raisin Scones
  • 2 Macarons in random flavours
  • A Slice of Cake of your choice
  • 2 Cups of Tea of your choice

 


All of the above for only RM28 instead of RM58.30 . Looks very convincing to me=)

I made the reservation at 7pm as i wanted to have it as my dinner before i go for movies. When i reach there was only 3 table occupied, maybe because its a weekday. But i like the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The best part it's they promote healthy eating. It can be a salad, a mud cake or sausages, using the right ingredients can make good food too. They always emphasize on back to the basic, using fresh and organic ingredients to cook the meals.

First comes the Raisins Scones with butter and strawberry jam, one peanut butter macaroon and another is blueberry macaroon. The scones and nice with the butter and jam. But the scones are just so so as i've tried much better ones in Empire Shopping Gallery. 
Next came the Tea for 2. I've ordered Earl Grey tea come with fresh milk and brown sugar.  
Next came the Pesto Chicken Bruschetta and Grilled Vegetables Caramelized Onion Bruschetta. Xiao Lan likes the chicken ones cause she hated the alfalfa sprouts one the vege Bruschettas. lol. I forgot to take the picture of the cake, as we were just too hungry, we gobble it up so fast. 
Xiao Lan ordered Aglio Olio Seafood Spaghetti ( RM28). A very big portion of spaghetti with load of prawns, squids and clams. The aroma of the olive oil and chili flakes make it spicy and so flavorful.
I ordered 73°C Poached Salmon (RM28). The poached salmon is cooked just right, still a bit raw right in the middle. Together with dill, lemon zest together with the pesto sour cream, it is simply marvelous. The one thing is, i felt the portion is a bit small.

Tian Tian Lai Restaurent @ Bandar Sunway

It has been quite some time that I've ask my good friend, Angie to come out. I call her up and we decided to dine at Tian Tian Lai Seafood Restaurant at Bandar Sunway. It is by far, the most afordable and yummy chu char ( can't really think of a word in English)

Since I'm working in Sunway, so i ask Angie to drop by here and try out the food. After all the jam, and she was lost halfway, finally we arrived at the place.

Its actually located at a Selera Sunway food court. You see how people miss use word "restaurent" which practically mean a more high class, air con environment. But it is actually in a food court. other than the name misunderstanding, the food is still marvelous.

There are 2 parts where you can sit. one is the open air but indoors another one is air con room. We prefer not to sit in the air con room, cause i don't wanna smell like FOOD all over me, after my meal.=) 

When i reach there was about 7 plus and it is already quite packed. There are many student dining here as it is just near to Sunway university, Monash and a few more universities.It took a while only the waiter is available to take our order, but we waited patiently as chatted while waiting.
Since there is only 2 of us, we could not order too much food. For me, this is a must order, Marmite chicken. Fried till crisp then covered with sweet sticky Marmite sauce. Yummy to the MAX.
 We ordered clay pot tofu, come with a very generous portion with a lot of tofu and other ingredients.
Last, is stir fry veges simple yet very delicious.

After the meal we chit chat like for another hour only we left the place. I've been here a few times and i would recon a few other yummy dishes such as belacan fried chicken, hotplate tofu, steam egg. these are the few that i used to always order.
