The weekend is almost finishing but I want to post something about how I started my weekend, prepping my heart for something new tomorrow.
The year-end school holidays has finally come to an end after a month long. It was seriously very long yet I felt time flew by. I started to feel some anxiety as my eldest is about to return to school again tomorrow.
My friends asked if I want to hang out but actually I felt maybe I cannot as I want to look into the meals for my husband who is recovering from covid and was still in quarantine in his room. Finally I decided I could use some time out after I settle his dinner and make sure he is well fed. So I got to thank my husband too who asked me to go out with my friends too as he knows I can be anxious for the son whenever school approaches.
Anyway, when we reached, we had no place in mind but when I saw The Soybean Factory, I knew immediately that is the place I wanted to try. I have ordered from this place multiple numerous times via food delivery but I have not personally visited the place.
Location: Shop 2, The Palette Hab, Komersial, 8, Jalan Langkawi, Danau Kota, 53300 Kuala Lumpur, Selangor
*Opening hours: 11am to 11pm everyday
Menu of food, beverages and desserts available
The Soybean Factory serves a variety of food made from the soybean. They obviously have soybean drinks, which we can choose either black bean or yellow bean or even red bean. I ordered a black bean soy drink and it was without sugar. I find it very pleasant, maybe because I recently do like soybean products.
We ordered a soybean curd aka tau fu fah with a variety of toppings like taro balls, peach gum and sweet potato balls etc. Hahaha this is a pandan flavoured and it is exactly what I always order via delivery so it is my favorite!
I left the food ordering to them actually because I have ordered too many times till I do not know what I want anymore as I want everything on the menu hehe! They also ordered a Hawaiian Dleight which is lemon slice with some soy jelly and longsn, served cold. This was ultra refreshing. It helped us relax the most.
Aside from that, they also ordered a fried flour stick which is what we called Yao cha kueh meaning deep fried "snack". This was served with kaya which is a dipping sauce extracted from the pandan leaves with sugar.
Yummy! Love the food so much!
Ambience
This place is very relaxing. As you can see, they tried to make it plant themed with some quotes hanging at one corner of the walls. They have a large spinning fan on their high ceiling. I get attracted to things like this. At the back where the food is served and to be self collected, it is written The Art of Soybean.
However there has been too many plants hanging down and a bit over decorated so it felt a bit overcrowded in that sense. Still it did not bother me.
The company I had
It is important to have a safe space with some friends whom I need not be on guard and can really relax. I need not worry about what to talk about or even what can be asked about or said about. I can even just space out and say nothing with these two. We did not ask much about the stressful things that night and we just literally relax. It was random yet it was just good for the soul, with no itinerary planned. I could do this also because of my mum-in-law took my boys in to be away from the husband who has contracted covid. That night I went home and did what I needed to do like clothes folding but with a more relaxed heart.
