Ice Plant Discovery

-


I wanna introduce you to this unique vegetable, the Ice Plant which I had during my lou sang session last week. I was surprised by the amount of greens on my yee sang at one of the Chinese Restaurants in Puchong where I had my "Hoi Kung Chow". This was where I first came in contact with the Ice Plant. In fact it goes really well with my Lou Sang.

It's called the  Ice Plant or Ping Choy ((冰菜). It's scientific name is Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (ficoide glaciale)  The texture is crunchy and does not leave any residue when you eat it. It has an ice-crystal like formation on its stem. Geli nak tengok sometimes and so fun to poke. 


It makes a great salad due to its crunchy nature. If you ever need to try, you can get a box at Jaya Grocer, priced at RM7.90. I find this a rather interesting vegetable. Surprisingly when I shared this on y facebook, many friends say they enjoy this too! My new found favourite vegetable besides the Rocket.

Bangkok: Shopping Haven (Part 3) Terminal 21

In my 3 days in Bangkok, I visited Terminal 21 three times because that was the closest mall nearest to my hotel and it's just 10 min's walk away from the hotel where I stay  Four Points Hotel (To read more about this hotel, click  here ) It's from my part 1 blogpost ASOK Station is the closest BTS station to Terminal 21.  The overhead walkway also links the BTS to the mall. So convenient for visitors. Just next to the Terminal 21 shopping centre is  the  Grand Centre Point Hotel  which is super luxurious and offers free flow of coffee and drinks to guests at the lobby.  Stepping into the mall, I was captivated by the colourful umbrellas that creates a great work of art to add plenty of colours to the mall.Wonder how they do the balancing act. Hmmmm.... Terminal 21 offers a rather fresh and interesting concept like no other or nothing like I've seen before so far. The mall comes with different themes from different countries on ...

Baan Thai 2 Seafood Restaurant at Kuchai Lama

Not Halal I recently discovered a new place to dine authentic Thai Food at Jalan Kuchai Lama when my mom's friend took her to celebrate her birthday this year. This is their second outlet and it's only 3 months old. Their first outlet, Baan Thai is located in Cheras. It was indeed an eye opener. Upon stepping in the restaurant, I was dumbfounded! The size of the restaurant was huge and there was massive space. It somehow felt like dining in one of those restaurants in China where there was so much space!  pic from Baan Thai 2 facebook page The best part was, not only the food is deliciously good, but the ambience is just breathtaking. They have ample manpower with plenty of staff attending to customer's needs. Diners were treated to a beautifully landscaped pond as they dine at Baan Thai 2 Seafood Restaurant. Look! There is even a ship on display at the end of the mini pond.  The ship is as tall as me! What a view! Smacked in the middle of...
