We happened to go to 1 Utama to watch "Seventh Son" today and we had lunch at Nana's Green Tea, my first time here at Old Wing of 1 Utama. This place is easily missed as it is located inside an alley.

My friend ordered the Every Day Set Lunch for RM 18.80 which comes with any drink of your choice from a range of matcha, latte, tea etc. My friend ordered the Oroshi Set with Beef meat burger patty and multi-grain rice and also some salad and also of all things, brinjals!

My other friend who ordered the Loco Hamburg chicken burger with multi-grain rice set had a most beautiful half-boiled egg which I envied so much.

I ordered the Mentaiko Seafood Udon (RM 28.80) which was too creamy for me, though not as creamy as carbonara. I ordered that because it looks special but the taste was disappointing. In fact, I found it quite a challenge to finish it. The colour was awful as well, being pink in colour. There were scallops, peeled prawns and also squid inside. The Salmon Cream Udon (RM 18.80) set my friend had did not taste good as well.

Since my eyes went green seeing all things matcha in the menu, I also ordered 2 Matcha drinks. One of them being, Matcha Latte (hot) with red beans and also mochi. I did not like the mochi which looked and tasted like tang yuan and also the red beans did not go well with hot latte. The biggest spoiler was the whipped cream on top as I hated whipped cream. So this is definitely not recommended for RM 9.80!

My second item was a dessert, Matcha Shira Parfair (RM 18.80) which came with so much whipped cream with Matcha syrup on top and some vanilla ice-cream in between that I felt like puking. This is because I did not like cream but a cream lover would not say this. There were Matcha jellies, matcha ice-cream, red bean paste.

After today's meal where the cream feeling lingered with me till I finished movie and till dinner time, I am definitely not going to have any Matcha with cream for at least a few weeks. I would declare myself Matcha-unfriendly for few weeks!
