Lai Po Heen at Mandarin Oriental Welcomes Chef Thomas Fong from Doha
April 24th, 2024
This Lebanese purveyor of nuts has unveiled numerous Malaysian branches across the Klang Valley’s malls in recent months, from 1 Mont Kiara to 1 Utama, Pavilion to Sunway Pyramid, Nu Sentral to IOI City Mall. Take your pick from pistachios, pecans, peanuts, hazelnuts, chickpeas, cashews, macadamias & more, with some in flavours like cheese, curry & sesame.
The nuts are sold by weight, ranging from RM4.50 per 100 grammes of peeled peanuts to RM27 per 100 grammes of BBQ pecans; mixing & matching is possible, so there’s no need to purchase a full 100 grammes of any single variety. The nuts are crunchy & taste fairly fresh – some of them can be predictably addictive (cashews!), though for the most part, they’re best for folks with a relatively high tolerance for sodium. Wash down perhaps with LifeJuice’s hazelnut-infused cold brew Earl Grey tea.
