Dinner: Hoofed!

We made a hurried trip down to the capital city during the third week of June for the premier show of S.O.M. It was a weekday trip, so our only chance to have a decent dinner with cousin was on Monday and it was a late one. Thankfully our venue for the night opens till late, and we managed to try what had been on our list for about half a year now. It was none other than Hoofed! at Taman Tun.

Three of us only, so we decided on sharing to enable us to sample more food items from Hoofed!'s limited menu. Ya, the menu was not extensive but the 3 that we tried were awesome. Starting from this Smoked Duck Salad. Sitting generously atop the cucumber sticks and pieces of iceberg lettuce were the smoked duck slices which went very well with the oriental sesame oil dressing. As we tucked in more, we discovered that this restaurant had added century egg besides hard-boiled chicken egg into this salad. It was a good choice, I would say, eventhough initially we were like having second thoughts about this unusual food item in a salad. Ingenious!



Next came this unappealing-looking mains called Devil's Pasta. Despite the appearance, we chowed thism angel pasta down in no time. Partly because we were hungry, and the other part being this was really really good. The caramelised pork was still crispy after being stir-fried with some black soya sauce, and it blended very well with the thin strands of pasta.


Lastly came the highlight - Suckling Pig. We ordered the half portion priced at RM90, and even then, we had to doggy-bag half of it home because it was too sinfully rich. The first piece was excellent because the crackling was oh so crispy, then when tucking into the second, it does get a bit oily so that was where I stopped. I had it just as it was, without the accompanying sauce. Felt it tasted better that way.


Glad that we can now strike this off the food list having tried and tested it.
