Happy Beans Cafe, UEP Subang Jaya

Andrew brought us to Happy Beans when we wanted something sweet for tea time.
There's some interesting stuff here.. can try la
Yes, interesting indeed...
Happy Beans speciality is handmade yu yuan (yam balls) that you can have it served with a few ways..
Andrew ordered the yu yuan special..
His bowl consists of yam balls, sweet potato balls, cubes of yam and pearl balls. Served in piping hot ginger brown sugar soup, it reminds me of eating tong yun and bubur cacar condiments at the same time. The yu yuan has an interesting texture- it's very QQ-bouncy, compact yet does not stick to the teeth. Andrew and WF really enjoyed it.
WF order something cold, it's cincau with her selected condiments..
With yu yuan and a few types of beans. It was served with a small cup of vanilla creamer, but WF who does not enjoy milky stuff did not add it in. I actually thought it tasted pretty good with the milky stuff :p
As for me, I'm not a fan of doughy flour stuff (with no filling :p) so I decided to have their dou hua with beans.
Their version of dou hua (bean curd) was silky smooth with distinct soy bean taste. It was pleasant to eat the non sweeten dou hua with the sweetened beans and slightly ginger spicy soup. The only bean type I didnt like in this was the kidney beans. A tad hard and rather tasteless.
Happy Beans have a range of shaved ice with fruits, which looks much better than those served in KTZ. Shall pop by to try that one day.hehe..
Happy Beans Cafe is located at 46, Jalan USJ 10/1E, 47600 UEP Subang Jaya, Selangor.

Kedai Kopi USJ 2, Nyonya Laksa, Subang Jaya

Just a short post today, a place that I was suppose to try it's nyonya laksa for ages, but always out of luck when we were there.
Luck was on our side recently and I managed to get a bowl of nyonya laksa from Wu Shou Lou's stall..
I had mine with curry stingray (RM5, i think), which looks very tempting.. This bowl of noodles was served piping hot and having this for my first meal of the day, well, it warms my tummy immediately. The soup was not too thick but still had sufficient kick once I mixed the sambal into the soup base. Those who are fans of thicker soup base may find this less attractive though ;p
I got a super huge chunk of stingray... Very fresh and the meat's really sweet (though a tad coarse, as how stingrays should be), goes wonderfully with the crunchy beansprouts and long beans. You can opt for nyonya laksa with chicken or the full blown seafood deluxe as what Boolicious had.
Satisfying bowl of noodles indeed. :)
Wu-Shou Luo nyonya laksa stall is located at Kedai Kopi USJ 2, Jalan USJ2/2C, Subang Jaya, Petaling Jaya.
