Persimmon

2012-01-13T07:47:00.000+08:00

Persimmon is a multi-trunked or single-stemmed deciduous tree, which grows up to 25 ft. in height. They grow best in areas that have moderate winters and relatively mild summers.

Persimmons trees are broadly classified into two general categories: those that bear "astringent fruit" until they are soft ripe and those that bear "non-astringent" fruits. An astringent cultivar, which is commonly cultivated in Japan known as “Hachiya” is high in tannins and must be allowed to ripen fully until to become jelly soft in consistency before it is fit to eat. A non-astringent persimmon, on the other hand, contains less tannin, can be eaten while it is crispy as in apples. Astringency can be removed by treating the fruit with carbon dioxide or alcohol.

During each season the tree bears, numerous fruits that vary by cultivar from spherical to heart to flattened or squash in shape. They also greatly vary in size from as little as a few ounces to more than a pound. The color of the fruit varies from light yellow-orange to dark orange-red. The entire fruit is edible except for the seed and calyx.

Benefits
1. The fruit is low in calories (provides 70 cal/100g) and fats but is rich source of dietary fiber.

2. Persimmons contain many health benefiting phyto-nutrients flavonoid poly-phenolic anti-oxidants like catechins and gallocatechins as well as important anti-tumor compound betulinic acid. Catechins are known to have anti-infective, anti-inflammatory and anti-hemorrhagic (prevents bleeding from small blood vessels) properties.

3. Fresh permissions contain anti-oxidant compounds like vitamin-A, beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin and cryptoxanthin. Together, these compounds functions as protective scavengers against oxygen-derived free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that plays a role in aging and various disease processes.

4. zeaxanthin, an important dietary carotenoid, selectively absorbed into the retinal macula lutea in the eyes where it is thought to provide antioxidant and protective light-filtering functions; thus, helps prevent "Age related macular disease"(ARMD) in the elderly.

5. The fruits are also very good source of vitamin-C, another powerful antioxidant (especially native Chinese and American persimmons; provide 80% of DRI). Regular consumption of foods rich in vitamin C helps body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful, pro-inflammatory free radicals.

6. The fruit is good in many valuable B-complex vitamins such as folic acid, pyridoxine (vitamin B-6), thiamin...etc. These vitamins act as co-factors for numerous metabolic enzymatic functions in the body.

7. Fresh Persimmon fruits also contain healthy amounts of minerals like potassium, manganese (15% of DRI), copper (12% of DRI), and phosphorus. Manganese is a co-factor for the enzyme, superoxide dismutase, which is a very powerful free radical scavenger. Copper is a co-factor for many vital enzymes, including cytochrome c-oxidase and superoxide dismutase (other minerals function as cofactors for this enzyme are manganese and zinc). Copper is also required for the production of red blood cells.

Courtesy from my colleague who introduced me this place as well as the pictures enhancement. Back to the restaurant and the food. Probably due to Christmas around the corner, the restaurant being decorated to celebrate Christmas. They have an open kitchen concept whereby you can see the chef preparing the food you ordered...Probably, you can learn something by looking on how they prepare it. For this time round, we ordered set lunch which cost us RM18++ per person for a main course, soup of the day, drink and dessert.

Spaghetti with Bacon and Ham

Here is another well known food in Taiping - Fried Chicken...If compared to KFC, this would be my favourite...They business hour starts from 6.30pm to 9.30pm (closing hour depending on the quantity for the day). Normally, the chicken sold out within minutes...Most of the local will make telephone calls to make order while some will just order from there and wait...

Drumstick with Chicken Leg

My favourite and also my grandpa favourite...I also like their chicken wing and the chicken skin. It makes me drool everytime and also when I am blogging it...

This morning market is quite well known among the local Taiping residents...You can buy all sorts of food includes fish, meat, vegetables, fruits, clothes, utensils, and many many more...What is my concern is the food or local delicacies sold here...

Deep Fried White Radish Cake with Sweet Sauce

This is my all time favourite which you hardly find it else where...It was cut into rectangular shape and deep fried till golden brown...Served with sweet sauce...YummY!!!

Nasi Lemak Stall situated besides newspaper stall...

Nasi Lemak with Asam Prawn, Acar, Egg and Curry Chicken

Another favourite of mine...remember to ask for more curry sauce...it makes it more "lemak"...If you wish to have more asam prawn or acar, you can ask the aunty to add more but need to pay more as well...

Noodle Stall situated outside Chuan Heong Coffee Chop

It sell variety of noodles which include soup base and dried base

Dried Loh Shu Fun with fishball

There are a few more nice food which includes roti canai (only roti biasa or roti telur), burger, Lai Fun, wan tan mee, apam balik, etc.

They are quick in taking order as well as pouring the drinks (ocha).

Hu Jing Ge restaurant in Flemington Hotel is like one of the hot spot for new married couples to have their wedding dinner, company events as well as casual dinning because there is not much of modern hotel being established in Taiping.

The hotel is strategically located in front of the famous Taiping Lake Garden one of the most historical garden in Malaysia yet still remain its natural looks. After a relaxing tour around the small town, finally decided to drop by the restaurant to try out their dishes as compare to KL.

Double Boil Shark Fin with crabmeats

Fried Tofu with Thai sauce (Nice)
- the special thing about the dish is that its being top with dry squid that add extra flavour to the dish but may not be favourable to all customers -

Four Season with Sambal
- Xi Dai Tin Wong -

Mixed Vege in Yam Basket

Stew Pork Belly

Overall the taste very similar to those ordinary restaurant in KL because according to the manager of the restaurant, the chef origin from KL before being hired by Flemington. Compliments to the management of the restaurant as being serve pleasantly throughout the session.

Cashier Market,

Jalan Panggung Wayang,

34000 Taiping,

Perak.

This place is also known as Larut Matang. This is because above this hawker centre is Fajar Supermarket but already closed down as they had sold it to The Store (M) Sdn Bhd. Anyway, there are a few stalls which is quite well known by the local and it is always crowded in the morning as well as the evening. Previously, we covered another stall in this Cashier Market which is the Ah Hua Prawn Noodle.

Stall No.50 - well known Mee Rebus (in KL is known as Mee Rojak)

Mee Rebus (RM3.00)

It only goes with yellow mee mixed with hard boiled egg, bean sprout, tau kuah, potato, cracker and most importantly the sauce...Ohya!! it served with one limau kasturi (lime)...If you like spicy, ask for their extra spicy sambal belacan...

Few stall away from Stall No.50

They sell variety of chicken parts (i.e. drumstick, wing, breast and thigh)...Surprisingly, they do popcorn chicken (diced chicken) and also skin...That is what I ordered most of the time...

Popcorn Chicken (RM2.00)

Quite reasonable price for this portion...deep fried to golden brown - crispy outside, soft inside!!!

Nothing new for big eaters like me about buffet in Paya Serai within PJ Hilton. Paya Serai's interior design blends mother of pearl with metallic and silver shades, while the sparks and flames of the open kitchen set a dramatic dining backdrop.

Beef Rendang
Chicken Curry
Stir Fried Lala with Curry Leaves
Tandoori Chicken

Have to admire the simple exquisite dinning experience portray by the management

Food ranges from entry, main to desserts giving you both local and international varieties

One of the nice cookery done for the day

Japanese cuisines as part of entry

Fulfill you dinning with some delightful desserts

Sorry as did really able to take more pictures as the crowd during that time are pretty vast. However, what can I share is that its a great place to family and friends to have your events or celebration catering Halal cuisines ranging from local Chinese, Indian, Malay as well as westernize dishes all together regardless you are vegetarian or meat lovers. Nonetheless, I favour having my meal on ala-carte orders as compare to buffet style

Compliments to the friendly waiters and waitress as we being served pleasantly with wide smile and patients.

The place offer comfortable dining as well as chilling place for you to sit on bar chairs with your cocktail on you grab.

One of the top recommendation was the Foie Gras Burger and really catch my attention when first saw it because rarely you could find this else where. Too bad, did not manage to try it during the night but yet will be one of my wish list for food now.

The restaurant provide their own specially made chilly sauce and ketchup that goes satisfying with the meal.

Then, you need to take the drink by yourself to your table while the food will be served to you later... Their specialities is the Jaz Lager Beer

So make sure you drop in and try the freshness of lobsters now..!!!

Looking at the number of person, the waiter will then recommend the number and weight of lobster to be serve so is up to you in how you want it to be cook.

The price of the lobster is quite fixed so there is no worries of throat cutting prices unlike many western restaurants that the price is state as depending on seasonal rates which will burn your pocket up without you realizing it when you place your orders.

The owner really courteous in serving their customers as the guide to eat your lobsters are provided as reference
