Momo Cafe

Thanks to generous Le Chink, got a taste of food from Momo Cafe at Ayala Triangle.

     The MoMo! Gourmet salad (P295) has roasted garlic shitake mushrooms, candied walnuts, grapes, white cheese, raspberry-balsamic vinaigrette, mixed greens, sliced oranges and hard boiled egg. I prefer regular walnuts to candied--it was a little too sweet for the salad especially since the vinaigrette was also on the sweet side. Otherwise, I enjoyed everything on the plate, especially the two types of cheese. If I had to rate it on a scale of 1 to 5, I would give this salad a 3.5.

     My favorite part of the meal, however, was the soup. We ordered two kinds: I had the herb pumpkin cream & bacon bits soup (P150) while Le Chink had the wild truffle mushroom "cappuccino" (P175). The pumpkin soup was on the sweet and creamy side while the mushroom soup was on the salty side. Both were good but I appreciated each soup better since I could take a bit of the mushroom soup when I found the sweetness of the pumpkin becoming too much.

     As a main course, we had slow roasted herb beef fingers (P495). I enjoyed all the side dishes: the roasted sweet corn, the mashed potatoes and the veggies. The beef was tender and melted in the mouth. 

     Though dessert was offered, I could not eat another bite. Thank you, Le Chink, for another taste of the good life!
