Haven

It's grandma’s day out with the golden girls! I had planned this a few days earlier with Juanita and Marina who live on the same street.. We are each usually kept very busy with our own daily routines and see each other only when we walk out together for taichi, so I had missed them for nearly a month then.

I promised to take them to Haven on ampang hilir as I had enjoyed a couple of meals there earlier and knew they are into healthy food and organic stuff which Haven signifies. We had pumpkin soup, broccoli soup, pesto with chicken, chicken and mushroom pie and pancakes. They were perfect including the muesli bread that went with the soup. Good to the last crumb, they were downed quickly enough and we were quite caught up too with the recipes, so spared ourselves of sinful gossip…well, maybe just a little. Anyway, what I do remember is baby spinach makes pesto look and taste better and cucumbers are bad for lactating mothers. Somebody has taken a second wife?...can’t remember, doesn’t matter. Then we had a leisurely browse through their grocery store where we discovered many items which we will need to return for later…manuka honey, beans, organic fish balls and lots of pure stuff to repair drying skin and other degenerating parts. Call us suckers for such promises, but we’d read up enough (especially Juanita) on the ingredients to know that they are not bluff….expensive yes, but genuine too.

Juanita bought organic noodles, Marina got herself a bar of organic soap( coconut based) and I got a bag of mineralized rock salt and organic raisins. I also took away an order of pesto for Alman’s mummy for lunch. A wholesome trip for our stomachs and for our souls.
