Purple Cane Tea Restaurant

Have you tried food cooked with tea leaves? My friend, Vivian, took me there for dinner one night and that was when I first discover this place. This restaurant called Purple Cane Tea Restaurant is located at Lot LG 206, Lower Ground Floor, The Gardens, Midvalley City. I think the name is popular as it sells tea leaves.

I was surprise that the food taste nice when the right tea leaves are added to the cooking. Many would think that there would be a thick taste of the tea but there isn't. The tea leaves is added in the right amount which makes the food taste delicious. The food presentation is also beautiful. After that meal, I decided to take family there to try and they were amaze that there is such restaurant. 

Since I was in Midvalley recently with my sister, we went there for dinner. We sat down and look through the menu. For me, I would always order soup. I look through their variety of soup which includes some tea leaves in the soup content. The way they present the soup is also so cute. After contemplating for a while, I decided on Chicken Herbal soup. 

After deciding on soup, we continue with the main dishes. We ordered Chicken Cashewnut, Homemade beancurd and Gai Lan. Chinese tea leaves are added when being cook. I forgot what tea was use for each dish. I only know how to eat and enjoy food ^_^ Once we are done with the main dishes, we ordered our drinks which is Jasmine tea. 

When the tea arrive, it came in two pots. One is diluted while the other is very thick. My sister was smart as she poured the wrong pot and had a very thick cup of Jasmine tea. Not a bad experience for her due to her carelessness. Hahaha...When the beancurd arrive, we were served rice with tea. This one I manage to see how they cook it. The wash the rice then they use tea to cook the rice. What tea leaves? That is still a mystery ^_^

After a beautiful meal, we are both content and happy ^_^
