Magic Masaman Nothing spellsĀ comfort food quiteĀ like a warm slow-cooked beef curry with vegetables. And paired alongside a substantial dose of carbs to complete the meal (choice of whole grain rice, white rice or roti), the item is exactly what the recent rainy weather calls for.
Catering mainly to the CBD lunch crowd, Ocha Fresh Thaiās Magic Masaman ($12) is ideal for those, like me, who canāt handle spices. Creamy, nutty and savoury,Ā the signature dish was loaded withĀ tender chunks of beef, potatoes and crunchy peanuts. The mild sweetness of ingredients also made it an easy crowd-pleaser, suitable for both the young and old. Warm and crisp, the roti (+$1) may be aĀ less healthy option but certainly offered a nice textural contrast to the fragrant curry.
