Living Food Bistro

I have been to this place as well as the one in Bangsar many times, even 3 times for my birthday alone on various treats. My first visit to Menara Tan is a winner. It’s a small café but cosy and quiet during the day, making it a perfect location for chat with friends. Yes it is a bit far out but I can guarantee the food is above average and I didnt even miss the meat nor the dairy!
Living food is actually what it says it is, raw food. Most of the items of the menus uses nuts to create creamy sauces in original recipes. But they not only have raw items, you will find cooked chicken on some dishes though cooked minimally. On the few occasions I ate at this place, there were a few favorites. One of which is the mushroom hemp soup, basically pure mushroom purée with hemp seeds blended for some good fats, it’s really flavorful and robust and perfect dipped with the seeded bread thar accompanied it. I also love the salad of cabbage, sprours, herbs, hemp and mixed greens.
Another highlight must be their version of Lui Cha — 9 different herbs and Japanese green tea served with quinoa instead of rice for more energy and amino acids. My dining partner had beef stew. Yes, it’s real beef cooked slowly till fall of the bone tender and spiced to perfection with sauce that us perfect with the quinoa. The club sandwich was not good — eggs, sauteed mushrooms, tomao, lettuce with smoked salmon. I find it a little lacking in flavor profiles and not worth the under RM 30 for it. l We didn’t have dessert but the tiramisu looked good. My utmost go to drink there must be the Green beverage with greens, ginger, orange, pineapple, lemon. Odd combination but tasted very yummy though with a grassier taste that might not be your cup of juice.
