Lunch

Met a friend here for lunch & I had the signature beef pho (in photo) while she had the vege pho. We used the 30% off bill on burpple, which reduced the price of each bowl to about $10++, which is quite worth it for the quality and portion.

My partner and I ordered the signature wagyu bowls with
1. Mentaiko sauce ($23.9++)
2. Yuzu foie gras ($28.8++)

The beef was cooked just nice and had a charred taste to it which I like, plus the foie gras added umami to the whole dish. Would come back again to try the burpple set next time.

Being a somewhat unagi-lover, the Hitsumabushi (medium) at Man Man checked all the boxes! Just a right size for 1 pax, and I really love the authenticity of the wasabi served here - you have to grate it yourself and though it’s not as spicy and flavourful as the usual wasabi we are used to being served in other restaurants / supermarkets.

Went for the 3 course lunch set meal ($26.8++), which included a soup (tomato / chowder), main (pasta / pizza), dessert (chef’s recommendation) and drink (coke / sprite / soda). Had the chowder, seafood pasta, apple crumble w ice cream (topped up $5 to change the dessert) & sprite.

The service was really slow, and my group of 8 friends had to wait almost an hour for the food to arrive (they even forgot one of my friend’s orders), and the food is alright only. I wouldn’t pay so much for this quality next time. The only saving grace was the apple crumble which had a nice balance of sweet and savoury, and the fact that this restaurant is pet friendly, so my friend could bring his dog here.
