From the moment you step foot into Mumu, you're greeted with an explosion of colour and energy. The enormous neon sign emblazoned on the wall that proudly states "MUMU 4U" sets the stage for the festivities that await. The retro ambiance, complete with vibrant orange tables and walls, instantly transports you to a bygone era of excitement and revelry. With the music pumping in the background, it feels as if you've stumbled upon the most exclusive party in town, where the catering is simply out of this world and a queue outside to prove it.

Mumu Menu

Mumu Restaurant gets busy early, much like their sister restaurant Totti's, located next door, the queue in front of the restaurant requires its own foot path.

So, what sets it apart? It's the incredible blend of South East Asian street food and the sheer genius behind each dish. Chef Dan Hong has crafted a menu that delights with nostalgia, especially for his Asian compatriots, and also excites with bold twists.

Grilled Abalone with chilli, garlic, coriander, fish sauce, brown butter and vermicelli

As with any street food, or Asian dining experience, Mumu encourages you to embrace the spirit of sharing and explore a variety of dishes. We began our tasting adventure with the Grilled Black Baby Lip Abalone, with chilli, garlic, coriander, fish sauce, and brown butter, all topped with fresh chives. These delicacies were worth every penny; tender abalone bursting with flavours that will leave you raving for weeks. Trust me, this dish is an absolute must-try.

Seafood Spring Roll (specials menu)

Mumu's daily specials menu presented us with a deep-fried seafood spring roll that came with a fiery chilli mayo dipping sauce. This dish, while not on the regular menu, was a standout; we found ourselves persuading neighbouring diners to order it because we never gate-keeping good food.

Crispy Eggplant, Black Vinegar

Prepare to be amazed by Mumu's Crispy Eggplant, coated in black vinegar. A crispy coating that gives way to a creamy, soft interior before the tangy black vinegar pops in to say, "howdy doo". A classic Chinese dish done exceptionally well.

Angie Hong's Marinated, Grilled Lamb Cutlets, Fermented Chilli Relish

We couldn't resist trying Angie Hong's marinated and grilled Lamb Cutlets. Served with fermented chilli relish and lime, these tender and succulent lamb cutlets exude a smokiness that made you wish you had a glass of scotch in the other hand. Get in there with your hands, if that bone isn't squeaky clean by the end, you're missing out.
