Greenlicious @ 10 Boulevard, Damansara PJ

Tze and me are always organic food lovers. For us, maintaining a good health is not just about doing exercise, breathing fresh air, but what plays an important role is what you eat. With that in mind, Tze and me and Be decided to go for an organic lunch since 3 of us can feel the "heatiness" in our body :) After a fruitful shopping trip in One Utama, we headed to Greenlicious which located at 10 Boulevard, right next to Sprint Highway, before the exit of Damansara Utama Toll Plaza.

Tze was the regular customer here while this was the first time Be and me here. Stepped into the restaurant, we were being greeted by a very friendly staff with a warm big smile. Environment wise, it is mainly with the wooden interior design, thus gives a natural and peaceful feel to the guests. 

Selling various kind of organic products here as well :)

According to the staff, Greenlicious serves only organic or natural food, with no artificial color, preservative in line of promoting a healthy lifestyle and a healthier eating choice for the consumers. This indeed reminded me of my favourite organic restaurant in Melaka - Veggie Planet, who share the similar concept as well. 

Be and me decided to order their signature dishes from the Set Lunch Menu, which comes with a compliment soya drink. Be ordered the signature dish, Nasi Lemak KL Tower. Unfortunately they were running out of the famous pandan rice thus were being replaced with normal brown rice. According to Be, the curry chicken was full with aromatic spices, right match to the brown rice. And for myself, as a all time Lei Cha lover, how can i not to try out the Lei Cha King here, haha. I always said that Veggie Planet has the best Lei Cha, but after today, I have to tell the whole world, the best organic Lei Cha is in Greenlicious. Crunch, crunch, crunch; munch, munch, munch! I can't stop eating as it is really good. The jade green herbal paste is the soul of this meal. Rich and smooth texture, with light aroma of i think from groundnuts and sesame, it is just the best one I ever tasted. 

Nasi lemak KL Tower RM16.90

Lei Cha King RM16.90

Set lunch comes with a complimentary soya drink

While Tze ordered something out from the Set Lunch Menu. She got herself a poridge which was decent, but nothing to shout about. 

Greenlicious is probably not your typical kind of organic restaurant, but it provides food with a myriad of tasteful delights and lots of surprises. So who says organic food is not delicious?

Crave Cafe @ Oasis Square, Ara Damansara

The Crave is an Australian inspired cafe. Located just next to the famous Mr. & Mrs. Cafe, The Crave humbly sitting beside with its simple black and white signboard. The Crave welcomes hungry early birds, as the business starts at 8am, with its simple and cosy dining setting, bricks golems.

This was indeed my 3rd visit to this outlet since 2013. Environment was still nice as last time. Not much guests in the early morning, and with some nice songs played, greeted by friendly staffs. Breakfast set menu remain unchanged as my last visit, but with slight of price increased. All breakfast sets do come with a complimentary fruit juice with choices of apple, orange, guava, mango or iced lemon tea. And if you are a coffee lover, you might want to upgrade the drinks to selected Toby's espressoo hot/ cold coffee at RM5/ 7 respectively.

Here's the food we ordered:

Roast Chicken Sandwich RM13

Strawberry Pancakes RM12

Sandwich and salad were fine in taste, as they used real fresh ingredients. But portion was rather small for my Be :). Both Tze and me were a bit disappointed on the pancakes. During my last 2 visits, I got to tried the pancakes as well, and the taste and texture were way better than this one. Personally I can tasted the taste of flour as the pancakes are just too thick for my preference.

Overall, this is a nice cafe to hang out with friends, foods are ok, staffs are friendly , songs are nice. Will take a chance to try out their lunch next time, Stay tuned! :)

Nyonya Village @ Jalan Parameswara Melaka

I always wanted to know more and everything about Baba Nyonya. One of the main reason might be because of the influence from Mr. Hang, he got half blood of the Peranakan :)

Bump into this Nyonya Village located in Jalan Parameswara (same row with bites, just a few blocks away). This place used to be the Yat Ko Steamboat and Dim Sum restaurant, but went closed down since months back. And only recently the new owner take up the place and transform it into Nyonya Village.

By looking at the name you might be guessing, is this a restaurant? a cultural village? or some kind of local souvenir shop? The answer is: all of the above :) Let's have a village tour before to share with you guys the "damage" of the day, haha.
