MANA is a weird yet seemingly fun place. Its storefront is obviously not in line with others. Because of this, MANA did not draw much of my attention few years ago until recently, organic and raw food has countered the ‘food trend’, my interest in MANA is hence ignited.MANA does not have much space inside. Office ladies (yes, 9 out of 10 of MANA fans are women. Evidence has proven that we are the more health-conscious kind. Woop) formed a straight and long line, reaching all the way out. Let’s b
MANA does not have much space inside. Office ladies (yes, 9 out of 10 of MANA fans are women. Evidence has proven that we are the more health-conscious kind. Woop) formed a straight and long line, reaching all the way out. Let’s be honest, I am bothered by how insufficient man power they had. Everything would have been perfect if I have come as a food craver, hungry food finder or whatsoever, instead of a summer student working in a firm nearby.
Back to the food, I ordered a half MANA Joy (filled with Avocado, Tomato and Mint). Up to this point, you may wonder, this is the kind of food you would expect in any ordinary salad or healthy food place. Pause…..
First, I am in love with its flatbread. It is added with Zaatar (A kind of spice which they claim has the effect of healing). It is right about their ‘warning’: Zaatar is highly addictive.
Second, the sauce----Garlicnaise. From the name, it is not hard to guess the sauce has garlic in it. Apart from this, I have no clue. Please, I would do anything to get this secret formula.
Raw, vegan, gluten free chocolate cake fills my second stomach. I didn’t find myself enjoying this much, maybe because I am overly indulged in the rich, buttery (means fat) chocolate cake. This cake tasted different from any ordinary chocolate cake you have, which cannot be explained by plain words. It tastes RAW? I must say. (natural cocoa taste). Moist, light weighted, and guilt- free.
The next time I visited MANA, I had Chocomana, a sweet wrap without Zaatar. Without the magical effect of Zataar, it did taste less appealing. But banana with peanut butter is always a safe choice, and of course a healthier choice!
But you can always make one of yours with whole wheat bread and almond butter. A more valued substitute.
