Ever since I tried Peruvian food a few years ago, I haven fallen in love with it, so I don't know why it has taken me so long to visit Mayta. Environment & Hygiene:It had quite a nice set up inside. It was spacious inside, with some nice decorations. I liked how one side of the restaurant was more romantic looking, whereas the other side was more causal and relax looking. Hygiene was okay. Service:The service was excellent. I liked that the chef took time to ask us how the food was, and was at
Environment & Hygiene:
It had quite a nice set up inside. It was spacious inside, with some nice decorations. I liked how one side of the restaurant was more romantic looking, whereas the other side was more causal and relax looking. Hygiene was okay.
Service:The service was excellent. I liked that the chef took time to ask us how the food was, and was attentive to our needs.
Complimentary Bread The bread was soft and packed with herbs. Quite Good.
Starter: Corn Cakes ($88) On top of the corn brick, there were some mushrooms with a very rich sauce. The flavour of the corn was there, but the sauce was just too salty.
Salmon Escabechado ($188) Beside the bed of smoothly mashed white beans, and the sweet confit shallots lied the nicely fried salmon. The skin of the salmon was really crispy and the flesh was tender. However, the skin was so so so salty. It numbed my tongue to taste anything else.
Chupe Rice ($188) The was a nice dish. The rice was creamy, tasty and the portion was plentiful. Shrimp Bisque was the base of the rice, which explained why it was so flavourful. Also, the fresh cheese made the rice very creamy and cheesy.
Lomo Saltado ($198) The dish that I was most looking forward to. The stir- fried steak, tomatoes, red onions, and french fries made this one hearty dish. Also, the addition of roasted bananas and tacu tacu, which were fried rice bean cakes made this lomo saltado different from ones that I have had before. The main ingredient of this dish was soy sauce, so again it was a salty dish, but luckily the sweetness of the bananas were there to help mellow the saltiness down.
Arroz Con Pato ($198) Another rice dish this night. The beer cilantro rice was very tasty, but wet. None of us knew it was cilantro to be honest. I like cilantro and I especially love how it tastes in rice. I don't really eat duck meat, but I actually didn't mind the duck confit in this dish. The meat was tender and just fell off the bone.
Desserts: Picarones ($68) These were Peruvian style doughnut balls with a chocolate sauce, and pickled berries. Nothing too outstanding. It tasted like what it was, which was deep fried dough.
Rice Pudding Casserole ($68) This was the better tasting dessert out of the 2. The cinnamon ice cream was very good. The sweet yet acidic berry sauce complemented the sweet creamy rice quite nicely. Also, because it was a cold dessert, it was very refreshing to eat. Final Verdict:
The flavours of the dishes were a nice change from what I haven been eating, so I enjoyed that, however, I just can't get over how salty most dishes were. Also, we were looking at about $200 per dish, so I'm glad the Super Monday Buy 2 for 1 Main deal was on.
