Banana
Unlike most other fruits, bananas are a bit high in calories (105 calories per medium banana); however, because of the many nutrients in bananas, including even moderate amounts in the diet may boost digestive and immune health, lower LDL cholesterol and blood pressure, and increase energy. Although known for being high in potassium (422 mg per medium banana), bananas are also a good source of other essential nutrients such as: Vitamins B6 and C, fiber, manganese, folate, magnesium. In trace amounts, bananas also contain: copper, calcium, zinc, iron, vitamin E, and selenium. Bananas contain fructoogliosaccharides (FOS) which act as food for the “good bacteria” or a prebiotic in the digestive system. Studies show bananas contain the most of this health-boosting prebiotic. Because of being both an excellent source of FOS and a good source of fiber, bananas boost digestive health. Studies show eating high-fiber foods may also help prevent heart disease. The potassium found in bananas is not only a boost to those who eat a banana after a strenuous workout, but potassium also helps to keep blood pressure in check and preventing cardiovascular disease. The FOS found in bananas helps to improve the body’s ability to absorb nutrients, especially calcium, thereby boosting bone health. Bananas are also a popular natural remedy for diarrhea. Bananas are a very good source of vitamin B6, a vitamin essential to new cell formation, a healthy nervous system, a healthy liver, and brain functioning. Vitamin B6 also boosts energy and immunity and also promotes healthy skin. Although rich in complex carbohydrates, the glycemic load of a small banana is 11. Glycemic load, a measure of a food’s impact on blood sugar, is considered low at 10 or less, medium at 11 to 19, and a rating of 20 and over is considered high. Since bananas rank on the low end of medium, the impact of bananas on blood sugar is not as great as once thought. In addition, the American Diabetes Association suggests bananas are low on the glycemic index scale and should be included as part of a healthy diet.

This place is well known by its Claypot Loh Shue Fun...What so nice is that the gravy is like "wattan hor" but this is thicker and creamier. Besides, their aluminium foil pork rib and lala is also among their specialties

First time visit this restaurant because I have a complimentary stay at Pullman Putrajaya Hotel & Resort which is nearby. Thanks to my sister, Dephanie, for the voucher.
The decoration of the restaurant is just simple but nice. I like the art hang on the wall as well as the lightings. One thing which I don't like is that the waiter will jus flip over the table cloth and make it as new although there are some stain on the cloth.
The food is nice and delicious but you need to have some patience as they serve the food quite slow. The price is pretty cheap compare to other western restaurant.

This place is packed with people all the time. You need to wait for a sit before you ordered any food. Desmond told me that the pork mee is nice so I tried it. After eating it, it just so so...not really up to my expectation.

This place started their business on 9 September 2009 (09/09/09). There are a few variety of set lunch but a lot of choices for ala carte. I would say this is much better than Rabbit Cafe. Their set lunch doesn't really value for money. Anyway, thanks to Connie for bringing us here to try out something new.

Thinking of Penang food, this might be the right place. The food really taste good and great. You will feels like in old coffee house. The price is slightly pricy but worth it (not for the drinks).

Introduced by Si Xian. Well, actually I never heard this place before even though I passby this place few times...It is just right beside Sime Darby Medical Centre (SDMC) previously known as SJMC. There are ample of parking nearby during night time but not morning... The food is nice and charged at a reasonable price.
