It is their play with food, flavours and flirting with the palate that worked like magic for me. They have taken ingredients and brought them together in a delightful asian experience. The Mocktails start the meal well and the desserts offer a fitting end, but the hero - as it should be for all good kitchens - is the food.
The Salads are crunchy with a wonderful sharpness and a full bodied after taste. The snow pea and green bean salad worked wonderfully to whet the appetite and not kill it. The soggy rice was, well soggy, but not at all like baby food. It has texture and a sweet and spicy flavour.
It isnt often that you sit down to eat and from the top to bottom, the kitchen serves up the soup like its meant to. At Mamagoto, I had no complaints. Well...the service is a bit crowded and it would be nice to be encouraged to linger. But the food had the flavour and the heat to seduce my taste buds at a price and ambiance that certainly seduced by wallet.
