Checking back into Living Food, where the kitchen's constantly cooking something new.
Start with salads: this "Mekong" one (RM18+) is a hearty-tasty Asian mix of glass noodles, spiral carrots, cucumber & caramelized onions in kaffir lime dressing.
Soup's up! Hot & healthy, we like both the roast mushroom & lentil soups, the former laced with crunchy hemp seeds, the latter with cauliflower.
Ceviche isn't the province of only Peruvian outlets: Living Food serves this raw-marinated fish too, using jade perch with spiral veggies & lemongrass sambal (RM22+).
Sorta like shepherd's pie: a mash-topped stew of mushrooms, zucchini, carrots & lentils.
Sorta like sushi: a "maki" of quinoa, avocado, mango & cucumber in "nori" rolls. Delicious.
Raw granola gets the star treatment here: Munch on them plain or have them with bananas & strawberries in granola milk for a creative cereal.
Desserts can't get healthier than this black forest brownie (RM12+), a pleasurably fruity-nutty cake made with almond flour & walnuts, blanketed in cashew cream.
Love this one too: Salted caramel gateau (RM12+), a vegan concoction of dehydrated apples coated in salted caramel with macadamias & medjool dates.
Surprise bonus salad stop: Neroteca might be best known as a sanctuary for swine, but there's a sweeping selection of salads here too.
