We spent a lot of time at Robinsons (toys and shoes department) and the camera shop. Our loots included toys, sandals (2 for me, 1 for XY), a video camera and a digital camera. The cameras are low-end models with basic functions. Our MiniDV camcorder has spoilt since last year and we've yet to burn any of the cassettes (since XY was born) to a CD. Instead of repairing the old unit, might as well spend a little more to get a new one. We bought the digicam so that we'll be more hardworking in taking pictures when we're out of the house. No more lazy-to-bring-the-DSLR excuse. :-)
We wanted to try Tony Roma's for dinner but we may have to wait for an hour. Forget it! So we walked around and decided on Purple Cane Tea Restaurant. It's our first time eating there. The dishes are cooked with tea. They're really nice and tasty but can't really taste the tea.
Here's what we ordered...
~ jasmine tea ~
~ burdock chicken tea soup ~
*So special, it comes in a teapot -- this soup I likey!*

~ ½ crispy duck ~
~ fish slices with salted radish ~
~ spinach with anchovies ~
~ braised bean curd ~

The food made me drool..

Purple Cane Tea Restaurant, I love the sound of the name itself.
Never heard of it, but from your description, sounds pretty healthy...

I love Purple Cane too, love their dishes cooked with tea leaves. I must try the tea soup in teapot. Whoa, your hubby struck lottery ka? How syiok to be splurging like that eh?
Really shopped till u dropped till 9+...no joke! I don't have the stamina for such late night shopping anymore...The dishes you had looks yummy...ooo spinach is good for you...way to go :)
Haven't tried Purple Cane yet but will do so with your recommendation. I like Tony Roma's ribs! vey succulent.
Are these pictures taken with your new digicam? So, I guess u'll be bz with your new project...burning cd's for XY & CE's old videos...but it's fun going down memory lane...see how much they have grown!
Every dish cooked with tea or just some?
Dora, we've tried Din Tai Fung in S'pore. We prefer Dragon-i. :)
Fussy mum, yeah... I think all their dishes use tea, some way or another.
Irene, balik kg better. Spend less $$. hahaha
Mummy Gwen, old DSLR. New small digital camera. :D
Wen, pricing like the Chinese Restaurants. For the dishes we ordered (for 3 adults n 2 kids), the bill came up to RM150.
Jac, DSLR to use at home. Digicam to bring out. :)
Bee Moon, got sales. :D
BabyBooned, din c the menu properly, but I read somewhere it's pork-free. I oso read that it's halal.
Shireen, how I wish! kekeke
Olive, yup, the food pics taken with new digicam. And u're rite, it's so fun looking at their newborn n bb videos. Then look at them now, so BIG edi.
NomadicMom, I think all their dishes r cooked with tea. Even the rice.
May I know where is the restaurant located? I think I wanna give a try the dishes there.
Joanne, we went to the outlet at The Gardens. Their other outlets r at The Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall and Shaw Parade.
Thanks for the info.
