[VFood Review] Warung Ijo – Updates on Menu

Earlier on, I wrote my review on Warung Ijo via here.

And so last Saturday, I went back after hearing that they had introduced some soupy dishes and here is my verdict. Sedap for the soup. 😉

Shall let the pictures do the talk.

Updated menu, the old menu still exist but I think the new set of 3 is easier to reference with a picture by its side.

I ordered:

Nasi Lemak Fried Chicken

Mee Soto (I opted for the less spicy and you can ask for spicy version if you can tahan)

Kolo Mee with Shredded Chicken & Gyoza Soup

Cold Brewed Tea – Osmanthus Sencha with PassionFruit

The spiciness of both the Kolo Mee and Mee Soto can be adjusted in accordance to personal preference. And the soup had a strong savory flavour despite me asking it to be less or no chilli. AND the bonus — they did put up the Kolo Mee Instant Noodles via the Pick&Go section of the shop. So if one is keen to buy it home, just order via the counter. 😉

And I’m fazed by the cold brewed tea selection that Gryphon Tea has. 🙂

Anyway to me, if I’m around the corner, I would definitely go and get my bubble tea fix at Nine Tails Bubble Tea which is owned by a primary school friend of mine.

My Rose Oolong with 0% Sugar & No Toppings

Beat the Haze with Chrysanthemum Wolfberries Jellies

Had a bad week battling the haze and inflammation thus I decide to make some desserts for the family.

Recipe: Chrysanthemum Wolfberries Jellies

Konnyaku Jelly Powder, Wolfberries, Honeycomb Sugar, Chrysanthemum & Birdnest

 

Ingredients:

• Konnyaku Jelly Powder 120gm
• Chrysanthemum Flowers
• Honeycomb Sugar
• Wolfberries 10gm
• Ready-to-drink Birdnest x 2 Bottles

Instructions:

1. Boil a pot of water (~1litre) and when the water started to boil, put in the Chrysanthemum Flowers and the Honeycomb Sugar. [I would remove the Honeycomb Sugar if I’m pouring in Birdnest as I prefer it to be less/ not too sweet.]
2. Let it boil for 15 minutes under low fire.
3. Off the fire and remove the Chrysanthemum Flowers.
4. Put in the Wolfberries, let it simmer down for 15 minutes.
5. Pour in the Konnyaku Powder, stir and mix the powder under low fire for 10 minutes.
6. Pour the Birdnest in. [You may skip this step if you are not a fan of birdnest.]
7. Off the fire and prepare the molds.
8. Pour the mixture into the molds and put it in the fridge.
9. Let it sit for 6 hours. [I actually put this into the freezer for 1 hour and then shift it to the fridge to cut short the time.]
10. Serve while it’s chilled. 🙂

The girls had helped me with the above and it seems fund as a bonding activity over the weekends. 🙂
