Late Lunch @Triangle

Was invited to try out K-town’s new IT restaurant, and I’m soooo happy I was able to make it! The food is out-of-this-world YUM!

As soon as we got there, we were greeted by the super friendly marketing executive, Aruba; although it was too cold but we couldn’t resist picking a table outside; we were seated and the lovely Aruba took us through their iPad menu and helped us choose our order.

We started off with the appetizers of course, rocca salad, Italian nachos, and chicken wings; I’m generally not big on nachos, but this was really good!

Koozie fries were sooo good in the cold weather, I’m craving them right now while typing!

Steak bites! Loved this dish, it’s so soft and tender, and tastes SO GOOD! One of my favorite orders!

Mushroom Trigono, cheesy mushroom, and onion rings; I’m such a sucker for mushroom, I love everything about it, and I almost add it to everything I make! If not in pieces, then in sauce! The mushroom Trigono (the heavenly triangles on the left below) are an absolute delight! I’ve never had mushroom in such a way, and I l.o.v.e.d it!

Moving to our main dishes, we had pesto and mini burgers; the pesto tastes so fresh with a vibrant basil after-taste

They have nine different types of mini burgers! We tried ‘heavy’ and ‘tenderloin’, and they were both very good. We were kinda full by now already, and the mini burgers looked generously big to us! If you plan on ordering several dishes, make sure you go for the mini burgers and not the regular-sized so you don’t end up with more food than you could eat.

And that was lunch! Hungry yet? If not, scroll down for dessert!

Nutella bread pudding, it’s good but I’m not too much of a chocolate person so it’s a bit too chocolate-y for my taste

Bread pudding, Y.U.M! My kind of dessert! So perfect with hot chocolate and a heater! Yum!

Before we were ready to leave, a waiter comes to us and asks us to try their cheesecake, bring it along! We were already so full, but had to taste this beauty, and just like everything else, it was a hit!

If you haven’t tried Triangle yet, you must! Very refreshing atmosphere and seriously good food! Check out the rest of their menu, here, and find their location map below:

Diet Care: Nutrition Meets Fashion Pre-event Fun

Got a cute healthy invite from the Diet Care for their upcoming event, Nutrition Meets Fashion, this coming Wednesday.

The invitation was a collection of ingredients with recipes for 2 delicious winter drinks under 100 calories; Hot Chocolate & Spiced Apple juice.

I was over at Froyo Nation‘s and we decided to have some kitchen fun! Starting with the hot chocolate, we got the stuff ready, super easy! 3-minutes easy!

Heated some milk in a mug and added 1 tbsp cocoa power

The recipe says 3 packets of artificial sweetener; but that would have been too sweet for our taste, so we added just a little bit of sweet’n low

Eh voila! Yum!

Moving on to the second recipe, the Spiced Apple juice

Everything was already put together by the Diet Care; all we needed to do is follow the steps!

500 ml apple juice and 1/2 tsp of orange zest

Cinnamon sticks (according to your taste)

Cloves (according to your taste)

Let them sit for 5 minutes

And it’s ready! How easy was that!

This was the first time that I try any sort of spiced juice, and I looooved!

Can’t wait for the event and for more easy & healthy recipes!

@MeliMeloKw: A Japanese Cuisine

Meli Melo has recently reopened their restaurant and they were nice enough to invite me with 3 of my friends to try it out! First impression? Cozy little place with such cute reviving interiors and very friendly staff.

Though the place is small, but it was screaming statement thru every-inch! This gorgeous city landscape was covering the ceiling! Refreshing, isn’t it?

Now let’s talk food, shall we? Started with this soup, Crab Corn soup if I remember the name correctly, delish! Loved every ingredient, it’s perfect for a cold winter, need to slow down on the salt just a tad though.

Second dish, one of the chef’s recommendations, the OBQ salad! This was our favorite of everything we had! Finished it to the last bite!

The Jerry Dan salad; lolo rosa letuce, cucumber, red cabbage, red and yellow bell pepper, wasabi cashew nuts, and dried cranberry in a Japanese dressing; had a little bit of everything basically. A bit too exotic for my taste.

Need I say, Edamame love!

Shrimp Tempura was great too

Moving on to the main dishes, started with the Meli Melo maki; sweet potato tempura, pumpkin, spicy mayo, crunchy flakes, mix of cheeses, and beef teriyaki. It tasted really good, but also kinda fattening.

Kuwaiti Maki; kani tempura, shrimp tempura, cucumber, avocado in japanese sauce; YUM!

Chicken Katso Maki; Katsu chicken, spring onion, mayo, with bulldog sauce rolled in sesame seeds; this was almost everybody’s favorite.

One of my friends didn’t like what we ordered, and asked the chef for more of a ‘customized’ maki, the chef was nice enough to make it and name it after her: Sofia maki! It was GOOD!

And that’s a wrap! Thank you Meli Melo for the invite, we had a lovely evening with great food and and super friendly staff; will definitely be visiting again.

Meli Melo is located in Al Shaeb, behind Pineapple gym. View their full menu, here.
