Fika Farmhouse 小田食光

The Fika Farmhouse is a humble and pet-friendly cafe hidden within Johor Bahru city. If you enjoy the laid-back and greenery nature, you will surely enjoy how they integrate these elements into your dining experience.

The environment was cosy and relaxing. Service, on the other hand, was friendly and accommodating. This place is situated in an open space and can get quite hot in the afternoon. Luckily we were sitting beside the cooler with the constant flow of cool air.

The Cold Press Juice was a definite saviour to beat the scorching hot weather. The Supercharger indeed perked us up with its chilly and refreshing flavours from pure orange and apple juice.

Most of us ordered the Supercharger to boost our energy but if you prefer some gasey drinks, they also serve sprite in lemon and mint leave.

The colours of the Salad looked inviting. The beautiful bowl of salad is made up of Green Coral, Baby Spinach, mango, pomegranate, walnut, white cheese, tomato salsa, and organic chia seed. This appetiser is finished off by drizzling some lemon vinaigrette.

The aromatic Truffle Fries are good finger food for sharing while we were waiting for our main dishes. It was generously topped with shaved cheese and the smell of truffle oil was simply irresistible.

Two big slabs of grilled chicken chop with crispy skin and these boneless chicken thighs can be paired with the choice of smoky black pepper or brown sauce at your preference. The dish comes with 2 sides, roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes.

Pasta Lover will like to try out their chicken Bolognese. No doubt that the spaghetti may be slightly overcooked, the taste and aroma were good enough to entice us. The dish is served with minced chicken with marinara sauce and topped with Grana Padano.

The dish is a tad spicy with chilli flakes, nonetheless, I love how the Salmon and Mushroom come together with the Spaghetti. Instead of serving the whole piece of Salmon, it was served with cubes, Shimeiji mushroom, Eryngli Mushroom and garlic.

We were given 2 slices of Seared Barramundi Fish on top of chickpea, cheery tomato, and zucchini. 3 slices of sourdough were well toasted, and good for dipping into the sauce. A pet peeve is that the dish was on the saltier side.

Weighing at about 420g, these BBQ Pork Spare Ribs were pretty well served with evenly coated BBQ sauce and served with thick-cut fries as well as some sauerkraut. The meat is tender and falls apart from the bone easily with the slightest effort.
