Lohas@Uptown Damansara (CLOSED)

I finally made my way to Lohas to experience some good organic vegetarian food. I have been here a few times before but that was a long time ago. The first thing I ate here was the vegetarian nasi lemak.  I was amazed by how good it was. It was remarkable how the sambal and curry tasted almost like the regular thing.

I was so impressed that I came here a few more times for the other dishes on their menu. Then I stopped coming when I embarked on my low carbohydrate eating plan. As you know, vegetarian food is quite carb heavy from items like noodles, rice, potatoes and mock meats which are made from flour.

But it looks like I have been on a carbohydrate eating rampage judging from what I have been eating and posting lately. And yes, as a result of my folly, I am now XX pounds heavier and my waistline is X inches larger. But let's not talk about my weight. It's a very depressing topic hah..hah..hah...

In spite of my spreading girth, I am still unrepentant. From where I sat, my eyes zoomed in on the organic gelato and organic snacks. 

Look at that. Buy 1 Free 1. I thought this place is supposed to promote healthy food and good eating habits hah..hah... I did go have a peek after my meal but that stuff is very pricey. So, no go.

Anyway, after I browsed through the menu, I settled for the Organic Soya Milk Curry Noodles. I chose the set and it came like this.

Lohas has since revamped their menu and their food presentation has also seen much improvement. It is true, food served on a tray does give it an extra special something. This noodle set came with green tea and a few side dishes. 

And not only that, I also got a serving of ginger tea and 2 spirulina tablets. I must find that spoon-like serving thingy for my mum so that she can present my dad's supplements to him like that during his meals hee..hee....

I quite like this set as having all those side dishes makes it all the more enticing. Let's see what I got.

This wanton-looking thing that came with slivers of ginger was disappointing. I don't know what is inside but the whole thing was very starchy and gummy. Not pleasant, I'm afraid.

The edamame looked very dehydrated and wrinkled but the beans inside were fine. No complaints there.

This little fried patty is made with sweet potato I think. It was very nice, crusty on the outside and soft and sweet in the inside. I like this very much.

The salad was quite nice and I liked the sesame dressing. 

And this is the sambal, the exact same one that comes with their nasi lemak. This stuff is very good. Spicy and very tasty.

And now, for the main dish, the curry noodles cooked in soya milk (in place of coconut milk).

It had noodles, brinjals, ladies finger, potatoes, tofu puffs, tofu skin and topped with fresh pea sprouts. Of course the gravy is not lemak like santan but the basic spice paste ingredients is all there and the taste and aroma is good. I quite enjoyed this bowl of noodles.

It was very filling and after I finished the whole lot, I did not forget the to take the spirulina. This meal set cost me RM21.50 (non-member price RM23.90). Not cheap as to be expected of organic food. But I don't mind having this once in a blue moon for some self-pampering. Well, I'll be back!

Note : Two hours after the lunch, I was VERY hungry. So....
