Fika Farmhouse — Restaurant in Iskandar Puteri

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.

Supercharger - RM16

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.

Mango, Pomegranate & Walnut Salad - Rm 27

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.

Truffle Fries - RM 20

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.

Chicken Bolognese - RM 24

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.

Salmon & Mushroom Aglio Olio - RM 29

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.

All in all, the ambience of Fika Farmhouse scores but the food on the other hand was pretty decent and...

Hosted a 13pax dinner at Fika last week. The surrounding environment was great. BUT, the food quality and taste wise was kind of disappointing. Especially, when the chef return our food in a very poor and rude presentation. We had ordered the same 3 lambchop in the table and we asked for an exchange on 1 particular plate that was served extremely salty for both the lamb and the wedges. When the kitchen return us the exchange plate, the presentation shocked all of us and will said all was a jaw dropped , as the chief had literally chopped and slide the lamb into cubes that in disgust shape and the portion was obviously three quarter lesser as the pervious and others plate! This clearly show that, the kitchen/chef was not happy with us for the return, despite from the all the appetizer to the snacks and others main courses that we had ordered was not that great, the fried calamary was smashy and soft in the inside, the ribs was overdo that the meat was tough and dry, the burger patty was very dry etc.... (just to name few) We had raise this matter to the floor manager when we finish checked and settled the bill. He was shocked too and apologize to us. We do hope that the kitchen/chef will take note on accepting and also to listen to the customer feedback on the food that they serve for a better improvement but not just continue to tarnish the restaurant with their own...

Once in awhile, you run into places that you wish forever stay yours. Places you don't want anyone else finding out but yourself. Fika was one of those places. Pairing amazing food with affordable prices, topping it off with an amazing atmosphere. Fika Farmhouses is one of those gems you don't just run into by accident. While I've only been there a handful of times, I've yet to find a dish that disappoints me, a moment where service was not up to standard or something that just doesn't fit right. The burgers are absolutely to die for. However, the secret is their mash potato. I would absolutely kill someone to have that mashed potato recipe. The staff have been ever so nice to let us change our order of burger and fries to burger with mashed potatoes. Fika is truly one of a kind and one of the the few places I wish would never close down. Its a place I would never tell anyone about, but life is all...
