Mukha

    One Sunday after mass, my sisters and I decided to give Mukha a try. The layout and ambiance was quite impressive. The outside was filled with a few mismatched tables and chairs and had a very charming feel to it. The inside was also very inviting. Yes, the place looked like a place where most hipsters would dine at but the barista and the guy who took our order were pleasantly nice and friendly.

    So anyway, we ordered the Eggs Benedict with a side of salmon, Bacon wrapped asparagus and French toast with Nutella. The waiting time was quite long so be ready to wait especially if you come during their busy hours but trust me...the food makes up for the waiting time. 

Eggs Benedict (with salmon)

For a person who just started eating eggs with runny yolks (they use to disgust me but now I'm obsessed with them), i found the Eggs Benedict to be really good. It was well cooked and well seasoned. The eggs were poached well and the hollandaise sauce was thick and really tasty. However, i think the salmon made a real difference to the dish. In fact, it was what made the dish really yummy. To my amazement, even though the salmon they used was not freshly cut salmon (they used sliced and vacuum packed salmon), yet it tasted really fresh! *So make sure you get the Eggs Benedict with a side of salmon! :) *

Bacon wrapped Asparagus

The bacon wrapped asparagus was satisfactory but in comparison to the other two dishes we had, this was definitely at the bottom of the list. Don't get me wrong, it was still very yummy because anything taste yummy with bacon involved but in my opinion, this dish was more of an appetizer to me than a main. The asparagus were cooked well. I say it was cooked well because when it was served, the asparagus still retained its gorgeous green colour as well as a real crunch to it. I've come across restaurants who have really killed the asparagus by serving it wilted and a dark green colour which is a sign of overcooking or failing to shock the asparagus in ice cold water to stop the cooking process. 

French toast with Nutella and Banana

Next we had the French Toast smothered in Nutella and slices of banana. O.M.G!!! This was a slice of heaven! Even though this dish took forever and was the last to arrive, i now understand the true meaning of save the best for last. When i took my first bite of this, i was in heaven when i bit into the two slices of bread with a piece of banana and warm Nutella oozing through my mouth..thinking about it is making me drool. It was SO good! If i had to criticize this dish, i would say that it could have been better if the french toast was a little crunchier and if they had caramelized the bread a little more with some brown sugar. If they had done that, i think it would have been more than perfect! 

I would definitely go back to Mukha to try more of their food, coffee and desserts. However, i think i will go there on a weekday during a non peak hour to avoid a long wait.
