Mei By Fat Spoon

On our recent date nite, my partner and I went to Mei By Fat Spoon@The Hub SS2. Ah, finally something different from our usual haunts.

My partner was there with family recently for the Mid-Autumn/Mooncake Festival. It was a Thursday evening and it was raining cats and dogs. I did not join in the festivities because I don't do dinners on worknights. 

He even took snapshots for me to see (developing new habit hee..hee..).

He was particularly amused by the name "Moo Moo Rice Bowl" and he thought that the food here would be to my liking. You can check out the menu here.

So there we were on Saturday evening. It is a very nice and cosy place situated at The Hub SS2 service residence. There are a few other restaurants in this location and we plan to check them out too.

After looking at the menu, we ordered the Honey Soy Gizzard Skewers (RM9.00) and Fried Lemongrass Chicken Poppers (RM22.00, for sharing), Ox Tongue Rice (RM22.00, for me) and Mushroom Rice Bowl (RM19.00, for him). 

For drinks it was a Honey Lemon Tea Cooler (RM9.50) for him and an Ice Blended Lychee Mint (RM9.50) for me.

I loved my drink as it was so very refreshing. Definitely will order it again on my next visit. I did not appreciate those shredded mint leaves as they did not impart any distinct minty taste into the drink even when I mixed them up. 

When the Honey Soy Gizzard Skewers were served, I was like, aiyo! So small! hee..hee.. I was expecting bigger pieces of gizzard but never mind. They tasted very good but at the price, I guess it is not so berbaloi lah.

The Fried Lemongrass Chicken Poppers fared better in terms of portion size. Although I could not detect any lemongrass flavor, I thought it was very good as it was very crispy and crunchy. It tasted more like Japanese chicken karaage to me.

My partner's Mushroom Rice Bowl is a vegetarian dish and when I pointed that out to him, he said it is OK because he can get his protein from the fried chicken.

His bowl was topped with a papadom and I reckon the fried mushrooms were good since he did not make any comments.

This is my Ox Tongue Rice. There are two options - with Soy Sauce or Original Mirin Sauce. I went with the latter and was not observant enough to notice that I could opt for extra ox tongue (RM11.00). 

It was good but very lacking in the smokiness of the one I had at Eatomo. But still. it was an enjoyable meal, though I wished I had ordered extra ox tongue. 

Since I did not get a cake for my birthday, I demanded for a Fat Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream (RM15.00) wahahaha!!!

Chocolate cakes don't photograph well and this one tasted far better than it looks. It was a very chocolaty cake, not sweet, more of a bittersweet dark chocolate taste which my partner and I appreciated. My partner does not usually indulge in cakes but he took quite a bit of this one.

I guess we can come back since we both enjoyed the food here.
