I met up with my college friend at this reputable organic health food restaurant. She is a regular customer at Woods Macrobiotics Restaurant and she has been taking organic food for more than 4 years. Maybe that is why she is still looking as young as ever! She knows most of the dishes in the menu and she did a good job in recommending some nice food to me. The owner and chef, June Lim has created a wide variety of nice 100% vegetarian organic food. Woods used to be in Damansara Utama and they moved to this new location in Bangsar around two years ago. The food in this restaurant does not contain any preservatives, chemical additives, colouring, MSG, eggs, meat and diary products. My favourite is the pasta which is actually a kind of organic bihun (rice vermicelli) cooked in thick starchy wat tan hor (tua pan) like gravy. I know pasta sounds like the Italian pasta but this is another type altogether. Among other ingredients in this pasta dish are black beans, carrots, choy sum, cabbage and wet bean curd strips. The pasta is garnished with lettuce and capsicum. This dish taste so good! For desert, my friend ordered a dragon fruit cake and also a carrot cake. She told me that they do not use baking powder in the cake but use yeast instead. Eggs and diary product are also not used in these cakes. It is a healthier way of baking a cake. Anyway the texture is the same as normal cake and it taste nice. I cannot remember the type of tea we ordered but it has a nice aroma and it matched the dessert we had. Before we left the place, I saw Nigari Salt being displayed for sale in the fridge near the check out counter. I bought one bottle as a coagulant for my home made tofu.

wah Pete... healthy restaurant u got there.. organic... over here in IPOH, i have yet to find one organic coffeeshop or likewise.. perhaps the spending power here is not as great as in KL yet...
wow...you have included a map! :)
I have passed by this restaurant and went in once just to browse but have never tried the food there.
Organic... price would be a cost no? Though organic food is all healthy now... no more chemical in them food. Good health choice.
claire : KL people have to detox more ofter, because of car fumes polutions....he he he!
Mei Teng : It will take time to get use to organic food.....a little plain compared to normal food.
ladyviral : Cost a little more than normal food, but then it is healthy!
A few weeks ago, I went to an open-air market here in Seattle, everything is organic, like pototoes that are only watered when it rains and free-range beef. I took everything home and cooked it all up. The result was the tastiest most fat-free meal we had in a long time. Organic does make a difference and I didn't feel overly full after enjoying this meal either.
Moonaroo : I agree, there is something different about organic food....plain yet very satisfying! Free range beef is sweet and juicy!
Nice kah? Once I hear the word "organic", immediately words like bland, tasteless pop up in my mind! Hahahahahaha!
I cannot imagine, if i could take organic foods for 4 years,,, may be ok if i could go with beer ,hahahahah
STP : Ahh, we have been exposed to too much msg and salt in our food daily....so that is why organic macrobiotics food taste bland to us.....LOL!
Eugene : Organic beer without alkohol....ha ha ha!
