Sweet Crispy Taro

On Sunday 27.oct.2024, woke up at 4 ish and went to Midvalley Mall at about 8 am since Oriental Kopi Midvalley Mall is already opened at 8 am. I planned to eat mixed vege with yam soup at Purple Cane eatery after oriental Kopi but the purple cane set lunch is not available during weekends so we went to eat sweet crispy taro at Canton-i. The ALA carte mixed vege yam hotpot soup is about MYR 62 so he doesn't want to order it.

*** Canton-i ***

11.19 am - sweet crispy taro cubes MYR 12.90++ which taste good even without the outer sugar crust. As we don't want to eat so much sugar crusts, we removed them before eating the taro cubes.

11.29 am - the amount of sugar crusts removed.

11.12 am - wonton soup no noodles MYR 18.90++ with 6 wontons with big prawns in them as fillings. The soup is clear soup unlike Nanyang Cafe which uses bone broth soup.

11.19 am - size comparison 

11.23 am - salted egg yolks in meat balls MYR 12.90++ which are tasty. I remember Canton kitchen has this item too.

11.07 am - my order iced milk red bean MYR 12.90++ which uses good quality non sweet milk. There are a lot of semi red beans paste which is quite sticky and I like the taste of this drink. Is refreshing.

Total is MYR 76.10 nett inclusive of 2 wet towels MYR 1++ each.

11.49 am - we saw the taro dish on this advert stand banner outside this eatery that made us decide to eat this dish. 

11.49 am - there is an advert for this treasure pot too MYR 328 

Morning 44.15
Next morning 43.85
Not sure which food item or drink item that acted as a diuretic to lose 300g of water.

*** Cacao Chocolate Sofuto ***

12.27 noon - we walked around Midvalley Mall to walk off the sugar that we have consumed earlier and then saw some people eating Family Mart Sofuto so we bought one Cacao Chocolate Sofuto cone MYR 3.90 nett to share as he can only eat this Sofuto which has no milk in it.

*** Decor ***

10.10 am - nice kolam at gardens mall.

*** Oriental Kopi Midvalley Mall ***

8.53 am - queue as always at this branch

8.20 am - my favourite kaya salted butter toasts which taste like kuih kapit because it is crispy with strong flavourful coconut taste. The salted butter may look thick but it is just a small piece so I don't feel too buttery but just right.

8.18 am - our favourite mihun chicken pieces to share.

8.17 am - two soft boiled eggs ala carte for him. No breakfast set during weekends. Total MYR 39.65 nett.

8.13 am - early at 8 am, can still walk in without queuing.

12.11 noon - zok noodles Midvalley Mall seems popular. We seldom go to the pinnacle branch and also seldom go this branch.

    1. I think it is either deep fried or baked cos the taro has crispy edges

  3. I like to eat taro and would have removed the sugar coating too. I cannot tahan anything that is too sweet and sugar coated.

    1. I believe this sugar coating is way too thick that only children can stand it.
