Here is something that looks so appealing you won’t have the heart to bite into it; but it smells and tastes so appetizing you just cannot help devouring it!


Scrumptious taro nest prepared with noodles and cornflour is topped with a warm salad of mixed vegetables, soya sauce, honey and other ingredients, to create a irresistible starter.


The veggies in the salad are minimally sautéed so that their flavour is enhanced without losing the crunch. Assemble the Taro Nest with Warm Salad just before serving.
