ie Organic

ie Organic & Healthy Food Centre is located at D'Piazza. It occupies two levels: a grocery shop downstairs and a dining area upstairs.

The interior decor is pretty cozy with lots of ornamental decorations. The "green" atmosphere puts the café squarely in the camp of organic and health food.

A rotating Set Lunch (RM9.90) menu is available from 11:00am to 2:30pm. The meal includes with soup and drink.

The Sweet N Sour Fish is decent, but the portion is pathetically puny. I wonder whether this is supposed to be sampling platter?

For greens, the Stir Fried Mix Vegetable consists of cabbage, baby corn, carrot shreds and fried garlic. It is lightly prepared and uses very little oil; the shop is not called "healthy" for nothing.

The staple ingredient is the Multi Brown Rice. It uses brown (unpolished) rice which is richer in dietary fiber, B vitamins and essential minerals. I am a big fan of brown rice, but not many restaurants offer this treasure.

The ABC Carrot Soup is slightly sour but in a good, appetizing way. It contains carrots, potatoes, tomatoes and onions. In my opinion, ABC soup is simple to prepare but rich in natural flavors.

The drink served today is Sugar Cane Juice. No sugar is added; the only sweetness is from the natural sugar in sugar cane.
