...or better yet, go for the spiked version with the Velodka (P 250) blended with a shot of vodka for the perfect libation at magic hour by the bay.
Start your feast with the garden fresh and crisp flavors and delectable textures of the Caesar Salad (P 475) with Romaine lettuce slathered in the bold yet creamy notes of the anchovy dressing topped with crunchy croutons and bacon...
...and the beer-battered Fish Fingers with Grilled Vegetable Dip (P 295) for clean and comforting tasty bites of unrestrained flavors to open up the palate for the savory mains.
And of course, you just gotta have the Mamou's Bacon Steaks (P 225). Extra thick cut of bacon, it just doesn't get better than that.
Pasta? Expect nothing less than tediously handmade pasta the old-fashioned way with its springy texture at Mamou - A Home Kitchen like the Pasta Stracciatella (P 425) with the luscious richness of creamy burrata and the deep tart flavors of Pomodoro in an elegantly seamless blend capped by the fresh notes of basil. A good pasta dish doesn't have to be too complicated, right?
The savory Lamb Curry (P 535) with fork-tender lamb simmered in a thick and richly flavored curry base served with steamed white rice and sweet mango chutney is a lavish meal in itself, with each heaping spoonful warming the palate all the way to the last bite.
Mamou - A Home Kitchen has long been known for its selection of premium steaks, and this tradition continues with its F1 Wagyu offerings. Sourced straight from Japan's Kaneko Farm, F1 Wagyu is a unique cross breed between Japanese Wagyu and Holstein cattle bringing the best features of both breeds into an elegant cut of rich, fork-tender beef.
Mamou - A Home Kitchen takes this beautiful slab of beef and adds layers of flavors in their inventive style for a whole new steak experience. The F1 Wagyu (P 3,590/250g) in Mamou - A Home Kitchen's savory, mild and tangy Mustard variant complements the buttery richness of the beef for that delicately balanced finish with just a whisper of sweetness. Other equally tempting variants include the Salt & Pepper, Garlic and ButterYaki.
For dessert, Mamou - A Home Kitchen offers the perfect sweet ending with its indulgent traditional take on The Big Apple classic with the New York Cheesecake (P 395/slice)...
...and the Pecan Pie (P 325) closing yet another chapter of flavorful stories at everyone's favorite home kitchen.
