Mum's Place Restaurant

We went to Mum's Place Restaurant for dinner yesterday, which was a stone's throw from Rachel's condominium at Damansara Perdana. It is strategically located in the heart of The Place, a soon to be flourishing and bustling hangout spot second to Bangsar, Hartamas, and Mont Kiara alike.

Mum's Place is a huge restaurant, unsuspecting first-timers like me would sure be surprised by the spacious interior. The place is well decorated with woody antique-like furnitures and soft lightings, giving a slight tinge of a baba-and-nyonya impression.

The interior

As soon as we seated our arses down, we browsed through the menu which comes with loads of delicious pictures. The cuinises served were mainly of local and Portuguese type with a tendency towards the spicy side. Our famished bellies being further taunted by the yummy-looking menu prompted us to order the "Portuguese Devil Curry Chicken", a "Fried Jenahak Fish in Special Mum's Belacan Paste", "Black Pepper Eggplant", and the "Thai Style Water Chestnut" for dessert.

Portuguese 'Devil' Curry Chicken - RM13.80

Fried Jenahak Fish in Special Mum's Belacan Paste - RM37.95 (RM6.90/100g)

Black Pepper Eggplant - RM11.90

Thai Style Water Chestnut - RM4.80

The curry chicken was fabulous, and not very spicy. The fish, on the other hand, was so very freaking spicy we left the paste aside and only cannibalise the over-priced fish. The super-combo spicy dishes (curry chicken + fish in "special" paste) set our tongue on fire. The eggplant was good, very fragrant with black-peppery taste. A must try. Finally, the dessert was good to cool our burning tongues down. It tasted like the old-time "chendol" with very strong coconut milk aftertaste. Chun!

Mum's Place serves halal food and is open daily from 11.00 am to 10.30 pm. How to get there? Here's the map:
