Dropped by here for the second time last night, on a Friday evening, with 6 other friends for a girls' night out. There are a couple round tables available, which made it great for catching up with the girls. Normally I'm not the biggest fan of Indonesian food (nor fusion for that matter) but Mama San provides a varied and thoughtful menu which collects influences from across the region, while adding a bit of European flair in presentation and ingredients.

Normally I'm not the biggest fan of Indonesian food (nor fusion for that matter) but Mama San provides a varied and thoughtful menu which collects influences from across the region, while adding a bit of European flair in presentation and ingredients.
The menu is complimented by an interesting and affordable wine list, in addition to a wide selection of tropical inspired cocktails.
Food - in general, each dish was of high quality. Highlights include the oysters (only 28 dollars a pop) - fresh and plump, decorated with a simple but smart sauce concoction of citrus/fish saucy, chillies and fried garlic flakes. Beef rendang was surprisingly good, where the chef has thoughtfully incorporated something like coconut flakes into the meat- giving a welcome and unusual dimension of texture and sweetness to a normally heavy and flat tasting meat dish.
The restaurant deco is 'urban cool' with candle lighting, hardwood elements with a bar, dining area, and a small indoor "balcony" area for a slightly different feel.
Lastly, I enjoyed the steady flow of smartly dressed urban hipsters, who kept coming until 930pm for their second round of seating.
Overall, a fun experience for a Friday night at quite a reasonable price. Including a couple drinks each, our bill came to HKD 350 per head. Quite reasonable in my opinion for what you are
