A couple of Sundays ago, hubs and I had brunch at La Juiceria Superfoods, just the both of us as everyone else at home had something to do. I’ve always wanted to try the healthy meals at La Juiceria. Their meals are my kind of food – mostly meat-free, low in carbs, and high in fiber with the focus on a myriad of colorful veggies and whole grains. They started with selling cold-pressed juices and smoothies at juice bars and have expanded their menu to healthy meals that are free from preservatives, chemicals and additives with the opening of cafes in the Klang Valley. If you’re a health and fitness freak like yours truly, you’ll surely love what La Juiceria has to offer.
I ordered this vegan bowl that’s composed of some very flavorful grilled mushrooms, tempeh, sweet potatoes, charred cauliflowers, purple cabbage, some greens and cucumber slices. Hubby’s quinoa bowl with teriyaki chicken, hard-boiled eggs, sweet potatoes, cauliflowers and pumpkin. This finicky gourmand gobbled up everything.Grilled chicken breast wraps – we got this for Cass’ lunch . She was having figure skating class at Pavillion Bukit Jalil.
I was super satisfied with my meal and will be back again to try other healthy meals on their menu.
This is one of our week day lunches from hubby’s kitchen. It’s always a delight for me to collect food from his kitchen as this means that we don’t have too cook at home 😬 as no one likes to wash the dishes. From top right, clockwise: Mee Siam, Nasi Lemak, Nasi Lemak condiments, stir-fried turmeric chicken with long beans, carrots and big onions.On the foreground – assorted delicious kuih, one of my kryptonites and something that I always look forward to collecting from hubby’s shop.Dim Sum for brunch at Oriental Treasure @ The Sphere, Bangsar South a few Sundays ago with hubs, Alycia and Sherilyn. Cass didn’t join us as she was having figure skating lessons at Pavillion Bukit Jalil.After Dim Sum, we segued into Rasa Viet for dessert. Our absolute favorite is the Viet egg custard, best in the world. One cup per person is not enough. I can chomp down two or even three cups myself! We also got takeaway Bánh Mì and beef pho for Cass and the mil.Green curry chicken cooked using Ayam brand’s green curry paste and Ayam’s coconut milk. It’s surprisingly pretty good and very easy to prep. Just simmer the chicken thigh pieces and brinjals in the green curry paste for 15-20 minutes and serve. It would taste better with added lemongrass, Thai basil leaves and kafir lime leaves but we had none of these at home. Besides brinjals, carrots, long beans, snow peas and other veggies can be added, making this a wholesome, delish one-pot dish.If you have a hankering for green curry but are too busy or lazy to prep it from scratch, reach out for a packet of Ayam’s green curry paste and coconut milk and pimp it up with kafir lime leaves, basil leaves and coriander leaves. It tastes pretty close to the real deal.
