Part of the Merivale empire, Mumu Restaurant lives up to its reputation of being an elusive dining destination. Merivale is known for their exceptional restaurants that are usually fully booked; it's no wonder Mumu is a coveted spot.
But 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 brings a plethora of bold flavours to the table, crafting a menu that delights with nostalgia and excites with bold twists.
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.
As with any street food experience, Mumu encourages you to embrace the spirit of sharing and explore a variety of dishes. Our culinary adventure began with the Grilled Black Baby Lip Abalone, adorned with chili, garlic, coriander, fish sauce, and brown butter, all topped with fresh chives. These delicacies were worth every penny, offering tender abalone bursting with an explosion of flavours that will leave you raving for weeks. Trust me, this dish is an absolute must-try.
Mumu's daily specials menu that night presented us with a deep-fried seafood spring roll accompanied by 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 aren't gate-keeping good food.
Prepare to be amazed by Mumu's Crispy Eggplant, coated in black vinegar. A creamy interior, crispy coating, and tangy black vinegar twist, this dish is a harmonious blend of textures and flavours that will keep you coming back for more. A classic Chinese dish done exceptionally well.
To further elevate our culinary journey, 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 envelops your senses. Don't hold back - get your hands dirty and relish every morsel. If that bone isn't squeaky clean by the end, you're missing out on the true essence of this dish.
