FARM TO PLATE @ DAMANSARA KIM

Another new porky place! Farm to Plate specializes in 2 of my favorite things: Pork - Iberico (They claimed they serve meat from free range, acorn-eating pigs), to be exact, and coffee. Located in the quiet neighborhood of Damansara Kim, it is the sister restaurant of UoVo, which is just next door. They are having pre-opening reception at the moment. There were still some minor renovations going on when we went over and the owner apologized for the waiting and some teething problems here and there as they were catering both Farm to Plate and UoVo at the same time. The official opening date hasn't been announced yet. 

 Menu is limited at the moment with just a few mains, pizzas, a mushroom and potato soup, a salad, coffees and beers. We ordered the shoyu & sake Iberico ribs, mushroom pizza with truffle oil (Recommended by the waiter), a hot latte for hubby and Costa Rica brewed coffee for me. I was disappointed when the waiter came over to inform that the pizza was sold out. Guess it can't be helped as they were serving both restaurants together and this pizza must have been good that everyone was ordering it. So we changed our order to the mushroom and potato soup instead since they already paired the ribs with salad. BUT minutes later, one of the chefs (I think) came to our table, apologized for the pizza and said that he'll make up for it by serving us a creamy pasta, completely free of charge! Whee, such good service!!
The shoyu & sake ribs (RM 79).
The main star: These ribs were succulent, fatty and robust - hit right on the mark! Do allow a cooking time of about 25 mins for these finger licking good ribs! They are definitely worth the wait.
Creamy mushroom and potato soup (RM 15).
This was earthy, thick, hearty and good. It would be nice for a cold day, but too bad it was hot as usual that day. Haha. 
Pappardelle carbonara (FOC!)
Creamy and rich.
Though this is one of those easy and speedy recipes that one can whip up in 10-15 mins, I wouldn't complain coz it's free. Lol! Generous portion of fresh mushrooms and pasta cooked to al dente (yes, even slightly crunchy!), and the sauce was creamy, smooth and luscious.
Latte 5 oz (RM10)
Costa Rica brewed coffee (RM11).
Coffee was good. Enough said.

 Farm To Plate Damansara Kim has a minimalist and bright looking space with light coloured walls and simple wooden furnitures.

YACON SOUP WITH CORN AND CARROT

Was shopping at the usual supermarket recently when I saw a lady promoting something which, from far, looked like sweet potatoes to me. I didn't pay attention to her til she called out to me and handed me a piece to sample. She was promoting organic yacons, not sweet potato. The moment I put it into my mouth, I remembered eating this looong time ago, but because I seldom see it in the supermarkets, I had totally forgotten about such a thing.  The yacon is a traditionally grown for its crisp, sweet-tasting, tuberous roots. Though the root looks like a   sweet potato, the taste and texture are completely different. Its crispy texture, juiciness and mildly sweet taste makes it somewhat similar to water chestnut or snow pear. It can be eaten raw or cook. It is said that yacon  is very high in fiber and low in calories which makes it a healthy and nutritious snack.   Some of the health benefits of yacon include its ability to regulate blood sugar ...

CHINESE ARROWROOT SOUP WITH PORK BONES

This is the simple version of the Chinese arrowroot soup (Also known as 粉葛湯 'Fun Kot Tong' in Cantonese). Our family love drinking this soup. It is tasty and cooking it with pork bones and dried squid makes it sweet and refreshing. Some people who like boiling arrowroot together with lotus roots or peanuts, and my mother-in-law usually boils it on its own and drink as 'cooling' tea. Naturally sweet and tasty. If you don't like seafood, you can choose to omit the dried squid. This is how the Chinese arrowroot looks like.  The arrowroot is a type of root plant similar to taro, potato or tapioca. However, it is harder in texture and incredibly starchy. When it is cut up, it has patterns that looks like the ages of a tree trunk. It is usually made into powder and used as thicken agent in cooking. The arrowroot is high in protein and fiber which is very beneficial to our body. Ingredients: 1 medium-sized Chinese arrowroot (Approx 700g) 10 red dates, ...
