Located along President’s Avenue in Bf Paranaque, before you
enter Tahanan Village (if coming from SM), is a restaurant like no other. They serve organic, healthy and truly
scrumptious dishes . . . welcome to Urban Farm.
The concept of from farm to table is nothing new to Urban
Farm, what makes them different is the usage of herbs and spices to its
full potential. Instead of using some of
the ready-made flavors in the market, all the flavors arising from the various
plates of Urban Farm is handcrafted specifically to the intent of the
chef. From fresh greens to something to
satisfy a meat lover, they have something for you in this relax and cozy
establishment.
Somewhere, somehow the initial intent (based on my own deduction) of this place is to offer something
healthy then it became homey or vice-versa (homey first then healthy) but one
thing is for sure, the food is indeed homey and healthy at the same time! The décor of the place also contributes to the
relax atmosphere. Simply painted in a
semi-bright lime green and white, the whole places speaks of Go Green Revolution!; an idea that
sparked during the early 1960’s if I got my history right.
The food that we had that day, courtesy of a foodie meet-up,
was their version of cheese sticks. It
is rolled baked bread with melted cheese inside when sliced. Since the room is not warm but simply
comfortably cool, the cheese formed back again making it not gooey. It comes with a tomato salsa dip that makes
you think of a tomato and cheese pizza somehow when you get to taste it. |

Next on the list are two salad servings: the Buddha’s Feast
and the Mix Vegatables. I love the
Buddha’s Feast! I am not a fan of peanut
sauce but this one doesn’t really have that greasy feel when it comes to peanut
sauces. The vegetables were cooked right
and the sauce truly made a big difference.
Three items that you should try are the Ribs, the Shitake
Mushroom Burger and their Chocolate Mouse or should I call it their Triple
Decker Chocolate Mousse. The Ribs simply
falls out of the bone in its literal sense!
It is so soft and tender with all the right juices! The Shitake Burger Mushroom is 100% meat free
but feels and taste like a real good burger patty! It has the flavorings and the components of a
burger, minus the guilt, plus it is healthy too. Watch out for the slight zing that you would
have as you eat this dish; it is from the crushed garlic mixed into the patty.
For those with a sweet craving, have no fear for they have
something healthy and good to satisfy that sweet tooth of yours. From cookies to cupcakes, they have something
for you. A must item to have and not to
be shared is their Chocolate Mousse or what I would call Triple Decker
Chocolate Mousse. It has three layers of
chocolates from white to milk to dark, top to bottom. The serving may look big but once you get to
have a bite of it, you would gladly eat it all and tell your friends to get
their own slice. It is that good! Like any mousse, it is firm when served but
soft when you drive in a fork for a bite.
The sweetness level is just right!
It is simply chocolate goodness in every bite!
Their signature tea is something that you need to have when you
decide to have an eating binge in Urban Farm. It is tea made from tarragon and is very
helpful for digestion plus it taste good also.
Urban Farm is one place in BF Paranaque that you can food binge
without the guilt, that’s for sure. It
is family friendly and truly health worthy food is served from their hearth to
your table. Visit them at BF Paranaque,
along President’s Avenue and enjoy good healthy food with your family and
friends.
