Lenny & Larry’s Fit Protein Brownie – Chocolate Raspberry Review

As you know I got home from my recent Singapore trip with a stash of protein bars and cookies and whatever else.
This is a little experiment that I’m doing; testing out these protein snacks to see if they actually work (ie most claim to keep you full) and if they actually taste as good as advertised.

After 3 Quest bars I’m more or less inclined to conclude that Quest Bars are chewy bricks (they are really dense & sticky) and some more delicious than others.
I still have 9 bars more to go so I’m taking it slow.

Quest Bar – Apple Pie Flavour 
Quest Bar – Banana Nut Muffin Flavour 

Luna Bar and Clif Bars are nice but they are loaded with sugar, almost as much as the amount of protein they claim to stuff within each bar.

The Lenny & Larry’s Fit Protein Brownie is fudgy, soft and moist.
The bits of raspberry added a nice fruity sweetness to the overall chocolate taste.

Sate Zainah Ismail – Jalan Keramat, near LRT Damai station

This was quite unexpected find for me.
For one I wouldn’t be anywhere near this area if it wasn’t for a friend who knew a friend who knew this place.
Yes, it is one of those someone recommended to someone who recommended it to me kind of story. 🙂

Quest Bar Review: Day 3 – Banana Nut Muffin flavour

After the Boundless Nutrition Perfect Cookie (Chocolate Chip) and the Quest Bar (Apple Pie flavour), I moved on to the Banana Nut Muffin Quest Bar.

One of the reasons why I chose the Banana Nut one out from my loot of a dozen bars is because I love bananas and I had hope that this will change my mind about Quest Bars since the Apple Pie one wasn’t really to my liking.

MinMax Restaurant ~ PNB Darby Park : (halal) pork-free dim sum

I am one of those “weird Chinese” who actually do not mind pork -free dim sum.
For me the most important factor is the freshness and taste.
I find most dim sum served at coffee shops and small dim sum outlets (most of the traditional ones anyways) are ridiculously greasy.
And from experience, the prices are not much different from the dim sum served in restaurants or hotels.

My favourite non-pork dim sum is at Celestial Court in Sheraton Imperial.
I have since found another pretty decent one on the 6th floor of KL Sogo department store. Siang Restaurant is a Chinese banquet seating style restaurant that offers prepared-to-order Chinese dishes, another of their popular offerings is the dim sum.
The same can be said for MinMax.

Boundless Nutrition – Perfect Cookie – Chocolate Chip REVIEW

Just last weekend I was in SG and I took the opportunity to order some protein bars from someone I know in Singapore.
As you may know, Malaysia is terrible for such imported products. We lack the market (or do we?) and we don’t have the companies or individuals that stocks these items in any of the shops.
