Mamou

Last friday we decided to eat at Mamou, Rockwell. We were in the area so we decided to eat there. The ambience of the place was very cozy and it felt like something awesome would touch your mouth. The restaurant was bright. After we ordered, we were served with free bread. 


The order didn't take that long to arrive. The first order that came up was our appetizer. It was the cracked cheese with fuet and honey.

Cracked Cheese with Fuet and honey (php 295)

I'm not that fond of eating cheese like these. I like the square ones that could be bought in supermarkets only. But surprisingly I didn't hate this one. I kind of enjoyed munching it and dipping it in honey. It had a salty, cheesy and sweet mix. I liked the fuet more because I'm a meat lover! (HAHAHA) Dipping it into honey made it a lot better and tasty. It was a burst of flavor all together. Well, for this dish I think the honey made everything a perfect combination. Next up, our pasta was served.
Lorenzo's Truffle Cream (php 335)

This pasta is the best truffle oil pasta I've ever tasted. I highly recommend for you guys to try this pasta. It is just full of flavor that you couldn't resist to have some more. It didn't have toppings. It was just plain truffle cream. That is why it is very strange how flavorful it tasted without the toppings. But well it did taste perfect. The noodles were also al dente. I assure you that once you have tasted this you'll ask for more. It is something that girls would crave for. 

Duck Adobo Flakes (php 295)

For our next order, we had duck adobo flakes. We had it with scramble egg and garlic rice. They offer choices but we opted for scramble egg and the garlic rice. I liked this dish. It was also a perfect combination. But it was oily. Nevertheless, it was a good choice. The duck adobo flakes weren't that distinct when it comes to taste. Overall, it wasn't that bad. It is still enjoyable to eat.

Beer Battered Fish with Malt Vinegar (php 255)
This was our last order. The beer battered fish with malt vinegar, tartar sauce and potato wedges. Personally, I think this was a fail order. If we would have a choice we could have gotten something else. It was edible but there's no "WOW" factor. It didn't taste like it had beer batter. It was crunchy though. But it didn't taste right. It lacked salt and peper to taste.

Overall, I would recommend Mamou as a restaurant that you should try. The ambience of the place is cozy. The food is something that you should try. They have good food. The price is also affordable. Well, not for their steaks. You should try it and see for yourself. Thanks for stopping by. Below would be the number to call for reservations. It is highly recommended to reserved beforehand because a lot of people really eat here especially during the weekends.
