Mama San - South East Asia dishes in an exotic Balinese décor
Mama San, located in the heart of Central close to the noisy and lively LFK, is one the best restaurant of this year.
Mama San is one of award winning Chef Will Meyrick’s Bali based restaurants. This restaurant adapts its décor from the ambiance of colonial times in Shanghai during the 20's, with a designed industrial ceiling warehouse. Mama San stares all clients during the dining.
Chef Meyrick is a street food enthusiast and shows his research of traditional recipes and culinary heritage during countless travels throughout South East Asia , collecting the spices and textures of the local food and cooking styles.
“Mama San illustrates a story of a madam of authority in an Asian gentlemen’s club, who takes care of her girls with affection,” Meyrick said, according to dining city.
If you are a fan of the vibrant flavours from India to Vietnam; spice, herbs and citrus are common ingredients of Mama San.
To start the dining, The Chilli harbour prawns with deep fried garlic, iceberg lettuce and lemon were, again, incredibly fragrant.
The favourite dish of Yap HK is the “dendeng balado”, or caramelised short rib. It is one of the signature dishes at Mama San. The beef fell apart at the slightest touch and was, again, intensely flavoursome, with pounded chilli, kaffir lime and crispy lemon basil.
In dessert, Yap HK advises the lemongrass panna cotta. This one is probably one of the best panna cottas in town, particularly with its toppings of cucumber lime jelly and lemon basil.
Concerning prices, Mama San is a gastronomic restaurant with flavours from all Asia. A meal for two with wine and service will come to around HK$1,000.
