LWIN LEE | MANGO CHILI @ NEXUS BANGSAR SOUTH CITY
Affordable
and tasty authentic Thai foods with a kind aim of creating a platform to help
the poor are what fueling the daily brisk business at Mango Chili that is
located at Nexus Bangsar South Shopping Mall.
Apart from the daily
F&B operations, the founder of this modern Thai case is also actively
involved in CSR efforts –Food for Good project, where each meal will be
provided free to a child in need for every meal they sell. In addition, certain
amount gained from each business
transaction would be contributed to underprivileged children communities such
as Dignity For Children Foundation, Trinity Children’s
Home, The Need to Feed the Need (kids@Chow Kit) and others, ensuring their
tummy is also well taken care too, as well as hiring the poor and giving them
skills and improving their standard of living. Such a noble act of the
thoughtful entrepreneur.
Even
the interior of the café is comfortably designed to be family-friendly with a vibrant
corner for the kids to loom around safely at the mini playground.
The
eatery is usually packed especially during the weekdays, so finding a table in
the air-conditioned dining area might require some patience. But discouraged
not as you are bound to be served attentively by the amicable and helpful team
of Mango Chili.
So let’s
get started on what’s instored for us by the bubbly and seasoned Chef Zul, shall
we?
THAI FISH CAKE (MYR 10.50)
Signature
appetizer in almost Thai food serving restaurant. Each bite of the fish cake is
a joyful and flavourful one.
BASIL CHICKEN SPRING ROLLS (MYR
10.50 -5PC)
Am
rather thrilled to have tried the ubiquitous spring roll made interestingly
with basil chicken meat fillings. Crispy on the outside but juicily soft in the
inside. A simple delectable nosh that keeps you longing for more.
TOM YAM SEAFOOD (MYR 18.95)
Another
iconic dish by our northern neighbor, seafood tomyam. Comes in light reddish
soup, spicy sour soup that has been added with milk and deliciously filled up
with assorted fresh seafood and meat that includes, scallops, squid, fish,
chicken meat and et al. Goes well with a
bowl of white rice.
DEEP FRIED FISH WITH TRIO SAUCE
(MYR 42.30)
Sweet sour
chilli, oyster sesame sauce and spicy seafood sauce to go with the deep fried
seabass.
Truly one
of the affordable and scrumptious fish dishes in town served lavishly with a
crispy, soft fish meat, drenched in a very appetizing condiments that got us
hooked on for more. Without realizing, am already harnessing the thought of
ordering 1 whole plate for myself the next round of my return (=
GRA POW CHICKEN WITH FRIED EGG
(MYR 13.65)
Stir-fried
chicken with Thai hot basil leaves.
One of
the not-so-common Thai food that I usually have, but am really a true buff of
basil herbs, so this particular dish does warm the cockles of my heart fondly. Each
chicken bites are juicy and tender, coupled with loads of bounteous basil
leaves that further add fragrance to the over all dish. Not too salty but
dished up aromatically with just the right ‘wok hei’.
GREEN CURRY CHICKEN (MYR 15.80)
One of
my must-have items in every Thai restaurant- green curry! The curry served here
has a pleasant consistency, rich in flavor and very much ‘friendly’ to the
tongue. So those who can’t endure too spicy grubs, this might be a good choice.
Soon,
it’s dessert time to round up the feast on a sweet note.
The glorious
chocolaty indulgence!
THE MADAGASCAR KOPI KAU (MYR
13.65)
Injecting
a slightly chic twist here than its peers, diners get to savour this decadent
piece of confectionary gratifyingly. The brownie is served warm and very moist,
literally melt-in-your-mouth while accompanied by a scoop of homemade gelato,
namely Kopi Kau! As depicted by its name, the ice cream is really robust with
the coffee flavor and we can’t help but to relish in it even faster! Haha…….
BUBUR PULUT HITAM (MYR 7.30)
Sweet sticky
black glutinous rice dessert served with vanilla ice cream. Somewhat oriental
elements here, I used to enjoyed the black glutinous rice with red bean cooked
by my mom and never failed not to finish it up. Same goes for this homey bowl
that equally amuse our palate.
For
those who still prefer for some traditional recipe, then here you go;
RED RUBY WATER CHESTNUT (MYR
6.90)
A bowl
of homemade rubies that is fragrantly served with julienned jackfruit and ice
cream in a milky broth of coconut milk.
Alright,
it’s time to have some cooling drinks to wash down the satisfyingly pampered
tummies.
ALOE VERA (MYR 9.45)
Instantly
reminds me of Korean eumshik drink =)
WILLIAMS PEAR FROM LYON SOUTH
OF FRANCE (MYR 12.60)
Stay
healthy with this 100% natural fruit republic juices that are made of pure
fruit without any additives, colorants nor preservatives.
Signature
mocktails may be?
Refreshing
non-alcoholic drinks created using lemon grass pandan drink and earl grey tea
as their beverage base.
POMEGRANATE POWER (MYR 11.55)
PASSION MANGO (MYR 13.65)
Concocted
with some mango fruit bits.
Creating
a sustainable platform to impact communities in NEED, has always been the core
inspiration that keeps Mango Chili going for more, maintain the service quality
whilst receiving support from the generous folks around. So do head over here
for a decent and meaningful meal as it’s always happier to give than to take.
For every MYR 20 spent, a
less-fortunate kid would be liberated from the tyranny of hunger. A simple gesture does make
a huge difference.
