This restaurant claimed itself to be an Indonesian restaurant. But I really can't tell from the food itself.  A bit of Thai, Vietnamese... or SE Asian fusion. It doesn't have a clear position. I ordered the Sunday Brunch ($288) and free-flow of wine ($168) which comes with unlimited servings of starters. The wine is shitty and same as the starters. I had red Thai curry prawn as the main and the quality of the prawns is good.  But I could have something much better for the money I have paid for.

The service is very good in general and the waiters were quick on re-filling wine. However, I saw a mouse on the way to the bathroom.  The management needs to be more vigilant on hygiene.

We came here for lunch and all four of us ordered from the set lunch menu.

I ordered set C - chicken mince with egg, daikon broth. Instead of jasmine rice, I was allowed to substitute it with papaya salad. The daikon broth was SO SALTY. I did not enjoy this. One friend ordered the regular Set C and also found the broth salty. The egg and chicken mince were tasty and the papaya salad was nice and spicy.

My other two friends ordered a set A and a set B. The seafood curry sauce was too thin (we all agreed) but tasted ok. And the set A beef curry was replaced with a chicken stir fry which was judged “ok”.

The serving portions are ample and the service is good. Although good value, I would say the lunch sets are a mix of hits and misses. My friend is a regular dinner patron here and said the a la carte food is better. So I will try ordering off the a la carte menu next time.

Such an enjoyable chill-out lunch place on weekdays.

Loved the twist of westernised SEA great food, mild spicy taste!  Important thing is that , we could enjoy a glass of good white wine at lunch! We love the food style & this restaurant cultural decor , and also liked to sit by the window high table with the view of the artistic Wyndham street in Soho district!  Worth to visit indeed !
 

I recommend the minced chicken as part of their lunch set menu. I had Lemongrass Penacota dessert and that was divine! We have a plan to take other friends come to Mamasan for dinner soon next week!

With the beverage promotions we each ordered a mocktail to start. My Balicolada ($38) is a mix of fresh coconut water with coconut milk, citrus syrup, pineapple juice and cranberry juice. It has a beautiful pink color, with the signature coconut notes of the cocktail permeating. It is not overly sweet and refreshing, and is a good aperitif for our dinner.

For starter we had a Grilled King Prawns with Pomelo, mixed with Asian Celery, Garlic, Cherry Tomatoes and Red Nahm Jim ($168). This is a Thai dish with a twist, featuring an abundance of herbs, including basil, mint, ginger, lemongrass, making the salad highly fragrant. The dipping sauce (nahm jim) is a spicy chili with fish sauce mix, really appetizing. Even though for some it might be a bit too hot, the sweetness of the pomelo helps to balance the overall taste. The prawns are grilled with a great charcoal aroma too. Among the dishes on the night I like this one the most.

We also ordered two main dishes, with the first being the Hanoi Steamed Fillet of Barramundi with Miso, Lime, Chili, Green Shallot and Sesame Seed ($178). It has an interesting flavor, reminding me of the Chinese bean paste on first bite. The texture of the fish meat is a bit too mushy for my liking, and honestly the other ingredients like lime and green shallot were too overshadowed by the miso. It is not bad, though I have to say it is not my favorite type.

The other main dish is 'Ayam Merah' Slow Cooked Chicken in Tomato Cumin, Green Cardamon, Fresh Coriander, Coconut Milk and Fried Shallot ($178). This is a traditional Malaysian delicacy, with the sauce rich but the coriander did provide a balance. However it is just a bit salty for me, even pairing with Steamed Rice ($30). The chicken is decent but if they are slow cooked I would expect it to be more tender in texture.

Wrapping up we had a dessert, and I decided to sample the Black Sticky Rice with Mango and Coconut Milk, served with Mango Ice-cream ($78). The portion of the sticky rice is big, though there is only two thin slices of mango, by all standards it is just too little. Fortunately there is a scoop of mango ice-cream which compensates for that. Overall it is not bad, just a bit too sweet.

On a positive note, the service is quite nice, and when asked the staff tried to recommend the best dishes to me. Throughout the meal she came to check in with us, with all smiles and friendliness. The price for the dinner is $780 which is fairly reasonable also. I applaud the effort of Will trying to create all these SE Asian dishes in a nice setting to customers, and with just some tiny improvements on flavors of some dishes I am sure the restaurant would reach another level.

Soft-shell crab and pork neck salad started us off well. The crab was crispy and pork was tender. The seasoning was excellent too. I also enjoyed the fish with three sauces - sweet, sour and spicy all in one. Not unlike one commonly found in Thailand. We had a few curry dishes and they were all delicious. Each dish on the menu were clearly well thought out so if you want to order something adventurous this is the place to do it!

這家餐廳開了已經有一陣子,之前聽朋友說過中環有家Mama San味道不錯,我們總是揶揄朋友是不是去了些什麼’特別’的店,因為這名字很容易讓人聯想到其他東西(笑)!這家餐廳主理印尼菜,而主廚Will Meyrick則是個有街頭廚師之稱的蘇格蘭人,深受印尼街頭小吃文化影響,現在已經移居當地10年有多。主廚把印尼街頭小吃帶到中環,餐廳裝修的非常型格,同時帶有點東南亞的感覺。餐廳闊落,坐得也很舒服。中午有lunch set, 有四款可以選擇。我選了Set A Malaysian fish curry with rice($168).Set裡面有一個小青芒果沙律,酸酸的有點泰國風味。主食里的咖喱汁介乎於濃稠和稀之間,不會辣,還蠻香。魚外面有炸過,裡面魚肉香滑多汁,很好送飯。在中上環工作的朋友們可以去這家試試看喔!♥

We arrived around 8pm, party of 2, on a Friday, with no reservations. I wasn't entirely sure we'd be able to get a table. The host told us we'd have to wait 40 minutes to an hour, but that we could do so at the bar, looking over the menu, having a drink, and ordering a starter. We were the only ones at the bar (good sign) and the bartender took us through the menu and made various recommendations from each section, some of which we wound up getting. About 10 minutes into our drinks, before we'd even decided on anything, we were told our table was ready. We were led to a little table in the back that was somewhat inconvenient, as people had to brush by me to get through.

As I said, it was a Friday night in LKF, and there were types. Y'know, like guys who shave their chest and wear very low-cut V-neck shirts and who talk louder than most people yell. We were seated between a table of shout-talkers and a table of people celebrating a birthday. It wasn't quite the concept chef Will Meyrick articulated on the Mama San website:

"An environment where people can feel comfortable to eat, try their hand at cooking or just lounge in a bar. Basically, not needing to leave the space until home time, whatever that time is."

I wish I had read that before going. Nobody invited me back to cook in the kitchen, and I didn't see anybody just lounging for hours, although they didn't tell us we had to give the table back at any time, so there's that. I mean, can I just go back and cook something? Has anyone tried that? Who eats it? Do I have to pay? What's the insurance for that like?

I've had Mama San on my list of places to go since it opened, but I always put it off. I guess I was skeptical of a place that does "Chinese, Indonesian, Indian, Malay, Singaporean, Thai, Cambodian and Vietnamese," according to their website. That's almost an entire continent and a subcontinent. (Inquiring minds want to know what Laos, Burma, and the Phillippines did to get the axe.) Anyway, here's what we had:

For all the other menu items, I'll give you the menu's description. As you'll see, the menu is not all that helpful. I can't give you the description for this one, because I can't figure out what it was. You see, this dish comes with uncooked rice paper roll wrappers and a bowl of warm water. You quickly cook the wrapper, then fill it with vegetables, sauce, and uncooked fish of some sort. If you go look at the menu, you'll see that nothing is even vaguely described like that. It was very good, whatever it was.
Tuna Betel Leaves

"Tuna betel leaves with lemongrass green tomato sambal matah and bumbu pasih" $22/ pc. Sambal matah is a type of raw sambal from Bali that's made with chilis, shallots, garlic, lime juice, lime leaves, lemongrass, and shrimp paste. Bumbu pasih is a spice paste for fish, and contains some of the same ingredients (shallots and chilis) but also ginger, turmeric, tamarind, and coriander. 

As you can tell from the list, there's lots of ingredients in this thing, and they're the powerful bold ones I like: chili, citrus, and species of the genus Allium. It's a fantastic flavor combination, and you get a big pile of tuna. I had to eat some with my fork before I was able to fold my betel leaf around it and taco it home. As far as price for quality/ quantity, this may be the best thing on the menu. Only $22 HKD for a big, flavorsome, satisfying pile of tuna. I'll take that any day: highly recommended.
Crispy Salt Bush Lamb

"Crispy salt bush lamb with ginger coriander lemon segments and pomegranate sauce" $158. A saltbush lamb is a particular type of lamb (a dorper) raised in Australia's saltbush country. The marketing gimmick is "seasoned on the hoof"-- get it, it's because they eat so much salt.

Anyway, this menu item was recommended by our bartender, and is also recommended by me. We were worried this would be a small amount of food, because the bartender said "three pieces" and nothing on the menu suggests the units of this dish. "Lamb." OK, a whole one? half of one? Anyway, I'm not a meat expert, but I'm going to guess this is shortribs. There's quite a lot of meat on the ribs, the outside is indeed crispy, and the inside extremely moist and tender lamb. Absolutely delicious.
Crispy Snapper

"Crispy whole snapper with three-flavor sauce wild ginger turmeric pineapple chilli and tamarind" $228. We were in a fish mood and decided to go with the crispy snapper, as recommended by our bartender. The menu makes it fairly difficult to figure out what things actually are, omitting crucial information like "these are spring rolls" or "these are ribs" and hitting you with Indonesian terms you're not likely to know. Anyway, "three flavor sauce" is not very descriptive, and it's unclear whether the random list of things following it are the ingredients of the sauce or additional ingredients in the dish.

So, admittedly taking all the fancy out of it, I would describe this as sweet and sour fish. The three flavors are sweet, sour, and spicy, and it's a little bit spicy. To be honest, I didn't really like it. It was altogether too sweet for me, and the fish wasn't really tender. I won't say that it was bad, and if you're into sweet sauces, this might be for you. I just wasn't feeling it.
Dendeng Balado

"Dendeng balado caramelized short rib beef with pounded chilli kaffir lime & lemon basil." According to Wikipedia, dendeng balado "is a speciality from Padang, West Sumatra, made from beef which is thinly cut then dried and fried before adding chillies and other ingredients." That's not really what we got. The picture isn't very informative, I'm sorry. This dish was large chunks of beef in a sweet and sour sauce that was very similar to the sauce for the fish, and like the fish it was covered in fried basil.

Quite frankly, I think part of why I didn't like the fish and also I didn't much like this was that they seemed to be the same dish, just one with beef and one with fish. The description doesn't sound like you're getting sweet and sour beef, but again, the menu likes to underinform. This was recommended by the bartender, and I believe he said it was their bestseller, so I'm apparently in the minority here. The beef was tender-ish in that you could kinda cut it with your fork, but it was a little dry and chewy too.

This is the drink I got, a "Black Stripe." It's "rum homemade ginger beer Palernum citrus
demirara" (I don't know why the menu writers are so allergic to commas.) I liked it. My wife described it as "Christmasy". Note that this picture is not after I drank half of it. What you see is what you get. And in a paper bag. $78

I'm giving this place a smiley. Admittedly, I didn't relly like the mains we ordered. But it strikes me that that was an accident. I absolutely loved all of the raw bar stuff and the starter. Out of all the other things I the menu, I just happened to order the things in sweet sauce, and that just happens to be something I'm not big on. It does temper my overall view of the restaurant, in that instead of thinking that it's amazing, I think it does some things amazingly. And that's OK, most restaurants don't even make it there. I would come back here, and I suspect I would wrestle with whether to order the same or different things from the early part of the menu, as I liked what we got from there so much.

One final comment: the service is very slow. I understand that they're busy, but everything took forever. Perhaps that's Meyrick's "lounge" concept in action: why don't you just "lounge" there while we take our sweet time with everything. Look Will, at a certain point in the night, it's just time to not be in LKF.

黎到Mama San~ 呢到既環境非常舒適有氣氛,好有復古既感覺😍 講返食物質素。首先係前菜:第一款係soft shell crab rujak salad💫 呢個前菜味道比較特別,有青蘋果既酸甜清新,青瓜同埋沙葛既爽口,而且軟殼蟹既份量都不少,唔錯👍🏼 另一個前菜carrot green mango coriander味道就比較難以令人接受,因為真係非常酸!!前菜黎講的確係好令人開胃,但過酸同埋充滿芫荽既緣故都食得唔算好多就放棄😂主菜就係Pad Thai同埋Green curry of chicken😝😋 Pad Thai味道不錯,炒得比較乾身,而且海鮮都幾多👍🏼 青咖哩+椰汁非常香,而且不算太辣但幾惹味,雞肉都幾嫩滑~ 整餐最滿意正正就係呢個black sticky rice💞 黑糯米暖暖地,口感好好,黏身中又帶點咬口👍🏼 加埋香濃既椰汁,真係好好味😆 上面鋪有一塊頗酸既芒果同埋龍眼肉,雖然芒果好酸,但係因為椰汁甜之下配搭上比較適合🙆 芒果雪糕味道天然唔人工,仲食到啖啖果肉😋但整體來說質素平平,未有太大驚喜。

前菜黎講的確係好令人開胃,但過酸同埋充滿芫荽既緣故都食得唔算好多就放棄😂
