Hi-Tea Delight: A Unique Fusion of Comfort and Flavor

I recently indulged in a hi-tea spread at Arena Coffee House with my hubby, that offered an interesting mix of flavors—crispy fried chicken, delicately crafted roti jala, and succulent mussels, fried bee hoon, fried rice and more. Each item brought its own flair to the table, making it a memorable fusion of textures and tastes.

Fried Chicken

The fried chicken was golden and crispy, with a seasoned crust that crackled pleasantly with each bite. The chicken inside was tender and juicy, the perfect companion for an afternoon tea. The seasoning was subtle but flavorful, allowing the crunch to shine. Although not a typical hi-tea item, the fried chicken was a welcome indulgence, offering comfort food vibes while keeping it light enough to enjoy alongside the other items.

Roti Jala

Moving to the roti jala, this traditional Malaysian net-like pancake was a star. Its light, airy texture paired beautifully with the accompanying chicken curry dip, balancing savory and mildly sweet notes. The visual appeal of the intricately woven pancake added a touch of elegance to the spread, making it perfect for a hi-tea. It acted as a soft contrast to the crunch of the fried chicken, offering a versatile flavor profile.

Mussels

The mussels were an unexpected, yet delicious, addition to the menu. Fresh and perfectly cooked, they were served in a light broth or sauce that was aromatic, perhaps with a hint of butter. They added a touch of refinement to the hi-tea, bringing a seafood twist that paired surprisingly well with the other dishes. The briny freshness of the mussels complemented the richness of the fried chicken and the soft delicacy of the roti jala.

Fusion Comforts: A Blend of East and West

This spread, featuring mixed vegetables, spaghetti, bee hoon, and fried rice, brings together a blend of Eastern and Western culinary elements. It’s a meal that caters to diverse tastes, offering a little something for everyone, whether you’re a fan of Italian-inspired pasta, light rice noodles, or comforting fried rice.

Mixed Vegetables

The mixed vegetables were a refreshing and vibrant addition to the plate. Lightly sautéed, they retained their crispness and natural sweetness. The variety of vegetables—such as carrots, broccoli, and peppers—added both color and texture, making it a well-rounded and nutritious side. The simplicity of the preparation allowed the freshness of the vegetables to shine through, balancing the heavier elements of the meal like the fried rice and pasta. This dish was the perfect palate cleanser in between bites of the more indulgent carbs.

Spaghetti

The spaghetti added an unexpected Western touch to the spread. Cooked al dente, the pasta was a little out of place amidst the Asian-inspired dishes, but it held its own. The sauce, if it was a classic tomato-based or perhaps a lighter aglio e olio, was flavorful without overwhelming the dish. The spaghetti Bolognaise though simple, was well-cooked, and served as a filling base for those who appreciate a more international twist in their meal.

Bee Hoon

The bee hoon (rice vermicelli) was a lighter, more delicate option in the mix. Tossed with a light sauce or stir-fried with subtle seasonings, it was an enjoyable contrast to the spaghetti. The bee hoon’s soft texture and mild flavor paired nicely with the mixed vegetables, and it had just the right amount of seasoning to be flavorful without being too heavy. A touch of soy or garlic would’ve elevated it even further, but it was satisfying in its simplicity.

Fried Rice

Lastly, the fried rice was the comfort food hero of the meal. Rich, fragrant, and full of umami, it had a well-balanced blend of textures, with small bites of egg, vegetables, and perhaps a bit of protein. Each grain of rice was perfectly fried, not too greasy but still full of that classic wok-fried flavor. The seasoning was on point, with a slight hint of soy sauce and maybe a dash of sesame oil adding depth. The fried rice tied everything together, bringing a familiar, hearty touch to the otherwise diverse selection.

Sweet and Savory Harmony:

A recent spread of desserts and light bites featured an intriguing combination of samosas, kuih koci, puddings, salads, and longan. This unique mix of sweet and savory items created a delightful fusion of flavors, textures, and cuisines that left a lasting impression.

Samosa

Starting with the samosas, these golden pockets of goodness offered a perfect crispy crunch on the outside and a warm, spiced filling on the inside. Traditionally filled with potatoes and peas, the samosas were seasoned with the right blend of cumin, coriander, and turmeric, creating a hearty and comforting snack. The crispy pastry contrasted beautifully with the soft, flavorful filling, making it an ideal savory option to balance out the sweeter treats in the spread.

Kuih Koci

The kuih koci was a standout item, offering a traditional Malay dessert experience. Wrapped in banana leaves, this sticky rice dumpling, filled with sweet coconut and palm sugar, delivered an authentic taste of local flavors. The chewy texture of the glutinous rice combined with the rich, caramel-like filling was indulgent yet not too sweet, making it a perfect bite-sized treat. The kuih’s natural earthy flavors, from the banana leaf wrapping, added an aromatic touch that elevated the dessert.

Puddings

Next up were the puddings, a creamy and smooth addition to the dessert selection. Whether it was a rich chocolate or a lighter vanilla pudding, each serving was silky in texture and gently sweetened, offering a melt-in-your-mouth experience. The puddings were not overly rich, making them easy to enjoy without overwhelming the palate. Served in small portions, they provided a delicate contrast to the more textured and heavier elements like the samosas and kuih koci.

Longan

Finally, the longan, a tropical fruit known for its sweet, juicy flesh, added a refreshing burst of sweetness. Its light, lychee-like flavor complemented the richer items like the kuih koci and puddings perfectly. Served either fresh or as part of a warm dessert soup, the longan was a cooling and light way to round out the meal. Its natural sweetness and juiciness provided a nice break from the more filling and heavier dishes, leaving a clean, sweet aftertaste.

Overall Experience

It was a pleasure to enjoy a hi-tea that delivered on every front—affordability, variety, and a relaxing ambiance, making it a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Affordability
One of the standout features of this hi-tea was its affordability. Despite offering a wide range of delicious items, it remained budget-friendly, making it accessible without compromising on quality. The value for money was impressive, with each dish well-prepared and portioned generously enough to satisfy without overwhelming. For anyone looking to indulge in a hi-tea experience without breaking the bank, this is a fantastic option.

Variety
The variety offered was another highlight. From savory to sweet, the spread had something for everyone. Dishes like crispy fried chicken, soft roti jala, fresh mussels, and lighter options like mixed salads and desserts like kuih koci and puddings provided a well-rounded mix of flavors and textures. Each item was thoughtfully prepared, offering diverse choices for different tastes. The range ensured that you could savor a little bit of everything, keeping the experience dynamic and exciting.

Relaxing Atmosphere
The relaxing atmosphere added to the overall charm. Whether you’re sitting indoors or enjoying an outdoor view, the ambiance was calm and inviting. Soft music and comfortable seating allowed for a leisurely experience, perfect for a casual afternoon catch-up or a moment to unwind. The staff was attentive yet not intrusive, letting you enjoy your time at your own pace, which added to the overall sense of ease and relaxation.

Enjoyable Experience
All these elements combined to create an enjoyable and memorable hi-tea. The affordability made it guilt-free, while the variety ensured that every palate was catered to. The tranquil setting allowed you to fully immerse yourself in the experience, leaving you feeling refreshed and satisfied.

For anyone looking for a relaxing afternoon with a delightful range of food, this hi-tea hits all the right notes—affordable, diverse, and most importantly, thoroughly enjoyable.

Zumba Kids is a popular class that combines elements of dance and aerobics. With their favorite music accompaniment, kids learn to move, listen to the rhythm, exercise their bodies, and improve their health.

In Zumba Kids we adjust the class to make it suitable for children. There are two classes; Zumba Kids Jr. (age 4-7) and Zumba Kids (age 8-12).

Most importantly, ensure that your ZUMBA KIDS’ INSTRUCTOR is licensed and certified to teach and conduct the class!

The main differences are:-

– teaching style.  There’s more spoken instruction and moves are broken down in a way that’s appropriate for the developmental age of the child

– warm up and cool down.  Children warm up and cool down faster than adults so we take this into consideration

– movements.  We use movements that are appropriate for children’s bodies and that they love – like jumping and turning (exactly the kind of thing we take out of Zumba Gold!)

– song lyrics and style.  I am more careful when choosing music for these classes that it’s age appropriate (although I rarely use anything other than PG music even in my regular classes!)

There are lots of benefits of Zumba for children, few of them are mentioned below:

• Easy to follow moves
• Calorie and fat burning in an easy and fun way
• Full body workout
• Excellent cardio-workout
• Increases flexibility
• Improves neuromuscular co-ordination
• Boosts self-confidence and self-esteem
• Perfect stress reliever
• Boost your mood
• Encourages teamwork
• Improves memory
• Develops imagination and creativity
• Its social and fun activity
• Helps you make new buddies

Zumba Kids classes are great for all children, especially those who don’t enjoy competitive sports and help integrate children who want to be in the spotlight with those who are a little bit quieter, so they all have a wonderful time in class.

Zumba is a great fun activity as it allows your child to jump, dance, shake and swing their hips. It also breaks down steps, adds games, activities, and cultural elements, and helps develop a healthy lifestyle for children. The prominent one is that Zumba is a great stress buster. It can help your child burn calories, tone up, sweat, and give out a flawless glow.

Zumba helps build endurance, and cardiovascular fitness improves blood pressure and quality of life. Zumba is a dance workout that your child will enjoy. Happy hormones are released in the body by doing Zumba. The level of serotonin, which makes you feel better, increases. This keeps the mood good and also reduces stress.

Learning and remembering dance moves works on strengthening the memory and creativity of your child. Are you a parent looking forward to your child joining a physical activity? Then, Zumba will be a good choice. It will help your child maintain a healthy and happy lifestyle.

Zumba Gold is a lower-intensity version of the typical Zumba class and was designed to meet the anatomical, physiological and psychological needs of seniors. It incorporates low-impact movements that are gentle on the joints, making it ideal for seniors with joint issues or limited mobility. The rhythmic dance movements in Zumba Gold provide a cardiovascular workout, improving heart health and circulation.

Who is Zumba Gold participants?

Many Zumba Gold participants are active older adults, beginner participants and anyone else that for whatever reason doesn’t feel up to participating in a regular Zumba class but still loves to dance.  I have participants in Zumba Gold that also attend regular Zumba classes but like to supplement regular Zumba with the low impact Zumba Gold once a week.  They find in Zumba Gold they have more time to work on perfecting their footwork, and more time to enjoy the music.

WHAT MAKES ZUMBA GOLD DIFFERENT? ISN’T IT JUST A SLOWED-DOWN VERSION OF ZUMBA?

No. And yes…

Many of the songs I use in regular Zumba classes I will also use in my Zumba Gold class, but the choreography is usually a little bit different.  I will swap out any high impact moves with low impact alternatives, I leave out a lot of the hip movements, swivelling and pivoting and any jerky or uncontrolled movements. There are some moves that are always performed at half tempo in Zumba Gold, but many of the moves you know and love from regular Zumba classes are the same in Zumba Gold.  

A salsa that I would teach in my regular class would be taught the same in Zumba Gold except I would “tame it down” so to speak no order to make it appropriate for the participants.  

That’s not to say that I don’t break out into full-on Zumba craziness now and again – because I do – but I do that to entertain the class (and only for a few seconds at a time), I don’t intend for them to follow my lead on those occasions {and they rarely do, generally, they break out into fits of laughter and giggles}.

How long is a Zumba Gold Class?

The class I teach is normally 50-55 minutes in length, but this can vary from instructor to instructor and class to class.  Most Zumba Gold classes are 45, 50 or 60 minutes in length.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?  DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING WITH ME?

Wear whatever you can move comfortably in – a T-shirt or sleeveless shirt, pants or shorts and a pair of sneakers.  Bring a bottle of water, and if you are someone who tends to sweat when you exercise, a small towel wouldn’t be a bad idea either!

In conclusion, fitness classes for seniors, such as Zumba Gold, offer a dynamic and enjoyable way to enhance physical health, social connections, and overall well-being. Zumba Gold provides a holistic fitness experience catered to the unique needs of seniors, with its gentle movements, cardiovascular benefits, and cognitive stimulation. Seniors can embark on a joyful fitness journey, rediscover their vitality, and embrace an active lifestyle with Zumba Gold. So lace up your dancing shoes, join a Zumba Gold class, and unlock a new level of wellness, energy, and excitement in your senior years.

Most importantly, ensure that your ZUMBA GOLD INSTRUCTOR is licensed and certified to teach and conduct the class!

With a commitment to culinary perfection, Han Pi Yuen invites patrons to indulge in a diverse array of dining variety and selections.

What makes dishes compelling are their aromatic ingredients combined with their nutritional value. Together this makes a compelling combination that tastes unique. Set against the backdrop of nature’s tranquility, Han Pi Yuen promises an unforgettable dining experience for guests seeking gastronomic delight and serene ambiance. Situated on the mezzanine level of the hotel, the restaurant opens daily (except on Monday) for lunch from 12.00 noon to 2.30pm and dinner from 6.30pm to 10.00pm. Every Sunday, the restaurant opens as early as 10.30am until 2.30pm and dinner remain the same.

Delicious dishes begin with good ingredients. A simple cooking process is also a key factor, with care and attention to the finer details. The range of the finer dishes on the menu incorporate these aspects. For instance, the rice parcels wrapped in lotus leaves brings an aroma to inspire out of a simple wholesome ingredient that is rice.

This is a secret find I contemplated posting about. Such a rare gem at Han Pi Yuen! So good was the Salted Egg Chicken I found nothing to criticize about it. The chicken cubes were fried till golden brown perfection and gently tossed in salted yolk paste. I can taste the crunchy crust, juicy chicken and savoury salted egg all in one bite! Eaten with the accompanying onion slices elevated the dish further. I fear that it is only a matter of time before this place gets packed.

Crispy juicy beef, crunchy bell peppers, and tender baby bok choy are tossed in a rich sauce that is sweet, spicy, sour, and peppery. Pair this ginger beef stir fry with a bowl of rice to soak up the deep, arresting flavors of the sauce, and you’ll have a princely takeout favorite with ten times the taste!

There are so many ways to prepare and cook fish but I prefer steaming because it would be the easiest and healthiest as it used less oil. There are many ways to steam fish and this one, the nyonya style, is one of my favorite fish dish. This dish is so rich in flavours and is a mix of sweet, savoury, sour, and also spicy. Nyonya or also known as Peranakan cuisine is a mix of influence from the Chinese and Malay cuisines. Nyonya/Peranakan food is usually tangy, spicy, but also aromatic.

It was love at first bite the minute I tasted the sizzling Chicken with XO sauce. I discovered this hearty, Glossy and dark, the caramelised chunks of chicken were superbly tasty and a fab take on the classic vegetable salads.

Well-balanced sweet and spicy-hot accents from the signature Sambal Prawns, my tastebuds alight. Both the prawns and brinjal and ladies fingers were up to mark too, a combination of succulent and crunchy textures. Top notch!

Bursting with such lush, deep-seated rempah flavours and lemak richness, the Hot plate Bean Curd in Claypot left us struggling to relish it without rice. This surefire palate-pleasing offering stamped such an indelible impression on me, I agree it was worth returning for.

Dim Sum in Malaysia, isn’t limited to just serving breakfast to hungry people. Regardless whether it is traditionally made or fusion with some other cuisine – dim sum will always have a place in our hearts. Beautifully braised chicken feet, warm kaya Bun, creamy custard bun, the infamous Siu Mai and prawn dumplings, fried yam balls and many more!

The Dim Sum Bento Set is ideal for those who want to try a bit of everything. The set is priced from RM38++ per pax, with a minimum order of two persons. The platter above was prepared by the chef for food review purposes, so patrons can expect a larger portion when they order the actual set.

We were served quite a variety of their offering. The steamed dim sum were fresh and tasted very good, I particularly love the scallop dim sum, very luxurious and actually quite hard to find else where. The prawn dim sum, stuffed chili, and ribs were all rather delicious too. We had about a dozen types in all.

The restaurant had a nice atmosphere, making me feel comfortable right away, as if I was at my grandparents’ house having a meal. Large paintings and decorations featuring traditional Chinese art styles filled the walls, while golden lightings hung from the ceiling casting a warm glow.
