Trying to take a passion for pork to tempting new thresholds, Iberico Kitchen is devoted exclusively – as its name indicates – to the Pata Negra breed of acorn-foraging Iberian pigs, with a porky potpourri that swoops from Iberico salads to Iberico burgers.

Iberico Shoulder Loin

If you’re hungry for the hog, we’ll rubber-stamp the Iberico shoulder loin, a tableau of unexpected tenderness, readied semi-confit style & surrounded by portobello mushrooms, oven-baked tomato & a Lebanese-inspired potato cake that hints at Iberico Kitchen’s cross-continental influences. RM58; a simple-looking but stellar-tasting testimony to pork’s persuasive power.

Iberico Jowl Schnitzel

Iberico Kitchen combs through the world’s trove of meat-based recipes, emerging with highlights like this juicy Iberico jowl schnitzel, cocooned in Japanese bread crumbs & complemented by a vegetable kebab, peppers salad, house-made sauce & mashed potatoes or fries. RM39; prices here are comprehensibly higher than the norm, since this is premium imported pork.

The Ribs

And of course, there will be Iberico ribs, the kind you’ll grease your fingers for & lick your lips over. Two variations are offered – ‘Original’ or ‘Honey-Glazed,’ served in quarter-racks (as seen above), half-racks or full racks for RM16 per 100 grams. Each quarter-rack sampler comes with a side dish; choose from paprika fries, pilaf rice, pineapple salsa, creamy sweet corn & more.

Pasta

Pasta gets an upgrade, with aglio olio topped with pan-seared collar slices that showcase Iberico’s pure but rich flavour. RM33.

If you read this before the Chinese New Year fortnight ends, head over for this Iberico ham yee sang, a terrific twist on the season’s staple, with the ham supplying a smooth, sweet-savoury succulence that elevates a plate full of crisp, fresh nuances.

Seafood Fried Rice

And if the kitchen’s not too busy, it obliges requests for customised orders – we like the seafood fried rice here, which comes topped with shrimp & loaded with crab meat interspersed among the grains (RM19), but why not make it a true porky pleasure too by adding the restaurant’s own-made Iberico jowl meatballs, which will cost extra but prove worthwhile.

Off-menu specials might be possible, but be warned that the Iberico belly, luscious though it is, comprises more fat than flesh. There’s more to come, since the restaurant remains new; expect everything from Iberico paella to Iberico spare rib ‘har mee.’

Crema Catalana

Desserts are pork-free; the crema catalana with watermelon salsa is a light & refreshing bet after a hog-heavy feast. RM15.

Wine is currently offered solely by the bottle, with mainly Spanish varieties that start from north of the RM150 mark.
