An Expensive Carnivore Outing

There is this restaurant, Common Feed, that I wanted to visit.

I read that this restaurant serves Italian-Spanish food.

It is located next to the famous Damansara Uptown Hokkien Mee. I have walked past Common Feed on Saturdays and found the restaurant packed with diners. Must be good, eh?

So I visited at lunch during a time when they were not so busy. But still, there were already other customers, so I did not take a photo of the interior.

I looked at the menu to find sharing plates, pasta & risotto, mains and pizza. Sadly the pizza is only available from 6:00pm onwards, a time not convenient for me to visit.

And on the other side of the menu are their Focaccias and Lunch Pasta, salad, beverages and desserts.

Well, being particularly well behaved that day (hah..hah..hah..) I decided that I should abstain from carbs. That can wait for another day.

The only carnivore options were the Collar Steak (pork) and Beef Short Ribs. Very pricey. Anything to do with meat is always pricey.

So, OK. Collar Steak it was. As for drinks, I am disappointed that they do not serve regular coffee. Instead the only coffee options were either Cold Brew (not to my liking but better than nothing) or Drip Coffee. And even then, the Cold Brew was not available (out of stock).  Adoi.

So I had the Iced Lemon Tea (because I was thirsty). 

My fear with such drinks is the level of sweetness and I am happy to report that this Iced Lemon Tea was not sweet at all.

And then my food was served.

Eh? Just like that, true to what was described in the menu - Pork Collar Steak with Garlic Mustard Seed Aioli. I know, that's what it is but it was still shocking to see the plate like that and at that price LOL!

But. As I said in my head - this better be good! And yes it was. The meat might look dry in the photo but it was actually tender and moist. The seasoning/marinade was very good. I loved the garlic aioli which enhanced the flavors of the meat.

But no, at RM52.00 I will not order this again. No regrets though because it was actually a delicious dish and I stayed largely carnivore. No desserts, next time perhaps (carb day) when I eat something more affordable.

Since I did not get my coffee fix, I walked to Baristar Coffee & Tea Express (next door to Mamalee, opposite Alliance Bank).

They serve good affordable coffee. Take away only as they occupy a very small space.

On my walk back, I passed by Curry Leaf Restaurant and saw their promo sets.

Briyani Combo.

Naan Delights.

And their Super Combo.

I tapau their biryani for my mum last weekend but she wasn't excited. Mum loves Indian food, so her reaction (or lack of it) was a very brief and telling review of the biryani hah..hah...hah...

This was outside a hair salon. LOL!
