Masu Cafe: Nepalese Dining

No comments:
 
In Nepal, Masu refers to meat with curry, gravy and rice- which pretty much sums up what this Nepalese restaurant offers. Most of the Nepalese dishes is a variation of the Indian cuisine, the reason why I called it Indian at first. Indian- Nepalese. Since we love trying out something new, we had lunch at Masu Cafe in order to taste the level of their dishes' spices.

Beryani or Biryani Rice (Php170)
Biryani is a rice dish cooked with curry and chicken. It may look just like a standard cup of rice in the photo but it's really huge, good for 3-4 people. In our case, good for two people only. :) So we had two orders for this. The bottom part is surrounded with curry, stuffed with chunks of spicy chicken inside. And garnished with thinly sliced fried onions and maybe a yellow coloring. This dish isn't too spicy yet.

Chicken Curry Masala (Php180)
We didn't notice we were chicken filled. Basically, it looks the same like the yellow chicken curry that we have, only that the chicken curry masala powder (which is orange) is used for this. The sauce of this dish was best paired with the Tandoori Nan that we also ordered.

Chicken Pakoda or Pakora without Sauce (Php120)
Deep fried chicken with herbs and spices within. This one is also spicy but not very spicy so you can still eat this even without a glass of water beside you. It's crunchy and what I love about this is you won't notice you're actually eating vegetables.

Tandoori Naan (Php25)
A round leavened oven baked flat bread that we dipped in the chicken curry. :) I guess experiencing this cuisine wouldn't be complete without eating a pinch of flat bread.

Going to their interiors, the place has yellow walls, orange mats, wooden chairs and tables and there was a huge mirror on the side. Christmas is in the air! There was a mistletoe and snowman figures on the wall already.

If you are new to this cuisine, you can order what we've ordered. I assure you, you won't regret. Haha!

I tried to locate Masu Cafe through google map. When you pass by Jalandoni St., you'll see a carwash with flags and it has Masu Cafe on it. Also, it's across Magsaysay Road- the way to Sports Complex. :) I've been asked many times where exactly it is and I had a hard time explaining, so here you go:
