Casual Thai at Landmark
2018-03-07 488 views
The boutique restaurant is hidden in a less frequented corner of Landmark and offers Thai food in a retro setting—with such dim lighting that one might fall asleep if the food takes too long (which it did). The menu has been polished to cater to Westerners and expats, which is fine as I have gotten used to and very much love anglo-adapted Thai.

The boutique restaurant is hidden in a less frequented corner of Landmark and offers Thai food in a retro setting—with such dim lighting that one might fall asleep if the food takes too long (which it did). The menu has been polished to cater to Westerners and expats, which is fine as I have gotten used to and very much love anglo-adapted Thai. Although I am fond of an occasional, indulgent meal at really authentic Thai restaurants in Kowloon City, there is something agreeable about these newer restaurants that offer more or less consistent quality and cater to a wider spectrum of diets and tastes so that the same restaurant is equally awesome for someone who’s in the mood for a feast on one night and then for a much lighter meal on the next day. That being said, Thai food is Thai food, and this is going to be a greasier-than-average meal regardless of what you order, but the dishes are savory and pleasing, available for takeaway and priced fairly. If you work nearby, the other obvious bonus is its convenience. All in all, Mak Mak is a decent choice for a quick, casual meal in Landmark, perhaps even for a free-flow weekend brunch at $298, with the only downside so far being its choppy service which could make or break an otherwise fine restaurant if diners do not see improvements over time.

 Flash-grilled salmon salad $128
Salmon was just slightly dry, but otherwise fine. The sweet basil and lemongrass added interesting aroma. Portion on the small side.

 Crab omelette $138
Loved this because it was drained in grease. Tasted amazing with some burned edges and generous bits of crab meat. I’d be returning for more.

 Fried rice with honey pork $128
It came with more fried egg and small prawns which I appreciated. Standard quality otherwise.
