wanted to try after reading the good reviews, but ended up quite disappointed. We order the poached egg (both salmon and bacon), Oolong tea soba, lemongrass chicken wrap and tofu salad. we also order the goji berry/coconut water juice thiny.Tofu Salad: Tofu was quite nice given its pan fried. The salad however was just so so - it was actually with a japanese sesame dressing, and i thought it would be something more sophisticated. but overall speaking its not bad, given you can hardly go wrong wi
Tofu Salad: Tofu was quite nice given its pan fried. The salad however was just so so - it was actually with a japanese sesame dressing, and i thought it would be something more sophisticated. but overall speaking its not bad, given you can hardly go wrong with japanese sesame dressing right? (i guess this is the reason why they are using so much jap sesame dressing in most of the dishes.)
Oolong tea soba: surprisingly, i thought its hot, but its a cold (its still nice though) - that said, what surprised me more was they use japanese sesame dressing again!! it certainly taste good because i like the dressing however, this is really not what i expected and felt like there is not much "heart" in preparing the food. The soba came with some mushrooms also, yet there is no oolong tea taste at all, as it was all covered by the sesame dressing already.
Lemongrass chicken wrap: the salad that is on the side - its with sesame dressing again!!! oh well....the lemongrass chicken wrap itself was alright, it felt a bit too soggy though and the wrap is too soft as a result also. Lemongrass was quite interesting combination and unique, but when the idea is good, i definitely think they can do a better job.
Poached egg with truffles: probably the best dishes that we had. Both salmon and bacon were nice with the truffle. For the portion its quite expensive though (around $30 each for an egg).
Gojiberry/coconut water juice: Quite nice as I love coconut water.
Overall quite disappointed to be honest, but i guess Locofama what they are selling is the "organic food" concept rather than the food itself or the technique. There is just one thing that made us decided will not go back again - our poached eggs actually arrived quite late (after we ordered like an hour, and had some dishes already, they were yet to arrive).
So we asked the Filipino lady and she actually told us the egg needed 20 minutes to cook - but it was not written on the menu nor when she took our order she remind us of the waiting time. To be honest 20 minutes wait is okay but you gotta let us know, and by the time we asked her it was way beyond 20 minutes already. And she gave me an impression that she was not very helpful and not very happy when I asked...(we had finished 2 dishes and just sat there waiting for over 15 mins already...when other tables that came after us already gotten their pasta). In any case, the egg did came after 10 more minutes, but they gave us two salmon instead of one bacon and one salmon, so we ended up wait another 10 mins again for the replacement... (but i am really curious why a poached eggs need over 30 mins to cook? I would be interesting to read more from their menu or it would be nice if the waitress could explain a bit more of their special cooking next time..if we ever go again)
All in all, we ended up spent more than $400 for mediocre food, while environment is nice, I doubt if I will want to go back again. if you want organic or healthy food, perhaps Mana or Grassroot pantry (which is right across Locofama) will be a better choice for you - at least the staff are much more friendly
