Malaysia Escapade - Lotus @ KLCC

Just 2 hours after lunch at Putrajaya and my stomach was grumbling. All that talk about teh tarik had given me a craving for a glass of piping hot fragrant tea.  The guide recommended a popular local hangout called Lotus, just a stone's throw away from KLCC.

I ordered a cup of Teh Halia and it did not disappoint. Hot, bubbly and thick, the scent of the ginger infused tea wafted across the table.

My snack came next..a curious little thing. Is it a curry puff? Nope. It's Fried Ice Cream.

The crunchy, almost biscuit-like, pastry opened up to a scoop of chocolate ice-cream. The combination of savoury shell and sweet ice-cream was truly a delight for the tastebuds.

A highly satisfying detour  ; )
