Avocado Cream Dessert

I was having lunch at Li Yen recently. It's a nice little Chinese restaurant in Ritz Carlton Hotel in the heart of KL. This place being a Chinese restaurant, I was surprised that a Brazilian dessert is on its menu and from what I hear, the restaurant is known for this particular dessert, too.

The host ordered a few portions of the dessert to be shared and I was thinking "How do I stomach just cream? And, avocado?? Isn't that for facial or something?".

The dessert finally came. It was a pile of light green cream served in a bowl. I didn't snap a picture of it, but it looks something like this:



Don't be fooled by how it looks. I had my first spoonful and instantly loved it! It's very light in texture, definitely not the thick kind of cream I thought it'd be and so wonderfully refreshing. It was served chilled and every spoonful became more addictive than the last.

It seems like a very easy dessert to make. I found a recipe of it from Recipe Zaar. But I'm too lazy to try it. The one at Li Yen is still highly recommended.

Marco's Pizza

A week ago, we ran out of ideas of where to eat. Then I remembered passing Marco's Pizza opposite Kelana Jaya LRT station. So we headed there to try it out. You won't miss the outlet because it's got a huge, attractive signboard on the shop-front.

The outlet is huge. It reminded me of those teen flicks I used to read as a teenager when it was the in-thing for western teens to go to pizza joints for group dates. You have a choice of seating arrangements like little booths, bar-tops and of course the regular dining table and chair sets.

It also has TV screens showing MTVs, cartoons and sports. So pick your seat according to what you wanna watch!

About the food, we had a Hawaian pizza for mains and an appetizer of herbal and garlic bread. The pizza was impressively topped with very generous servings of cheese, turkey ham, pineapples and mushrooms, as you can see from pictures below.

See that cheese?

The bread was spread with lots of herbs and garlic.

We enjoyed our meal there and a week later, I recommended and returned to the place and ordered exactly the same menu! If you're there, do try the desserts too because they come highly recommended. They look very enticing too, but we were too full for sweets. Anyone who has tried it, do share your experience.
