Publika has always been a vibrantly kaleidoscopic neighbourhood where you can get almost anything from local to imported goods, besides- also one of favourite place for café hopping stint. Despite various international cuisines are popular among local folks here, MONA has since spiced up the brisk dining scene with its unique rendition which is closer to our heart.


Set forth as a retro-Malayan bar that is currently nestled at Publika mall, the founder aims to relive the times when bridges are built and not walls, while exchanging camaraderie and enjoying great food and drinks of course. The whole idea originally stemmed from Jibril- a theatrical storyline revolving around lawmakers that was inspired since his alma mater time that now transient to a much more aesthetic plot intertwined with palate-pleasing culinary art.  




 Patrons of MONA could look forward to assortment of tastefully fused cuisines that are toothsomely executed with brilliant ideas and twists of local taste, that would leave your taste buds amusingly tickled. Fans of especially salted egg grubs, would certainly find themselves on cloud nine as they relish in the delectation of golden eggs’ creation.
SALTED EGG CHICKEN WINGS (MYR 18.90)
Tender chicken meat coated with savory and crispy skin- makes it a flawless candidate of the ideal kick-start nosh.
SALTED EGG BUTTER CHICKEN (MYR 17.90)
If chicken wing is tad boney and some hassle to you, then enjoying this plate of succulent meat cutlets shall be the best bet. Each bites renders juiciness of the nicely marinated meat that goes really well with a plate of warm white rice.
ORIENTAL DUCK EGG NOODLES (MYR 17.90)
Malaysian favourite “Maggi” redefined ultimately! Noodles are stir-fried till flavorfully springy with the right amount of spice, before pairing it with nicely done meat slices.
NASI LEMAK BUTTER CHICKEN (MYR 19.90)
Talking about every Malaysian root, how can we go without the quintessential morning staple?
Coconut milk-cooked rice indulgently served with lovely butter chicken- Nasi Lemak it is!
Paired with a good amount of robust sambal paste to go along with the fragrant rice and golden fried anchovies- what else could you ask for a satisfying meal?
 
Apart from the promising plates convincingly twisted with Asian creativity, there are also Western plates up MONA’s sleeve too.
 
SEAFOOD MARINARA PASTA (MYR 18.90)
Prawns were huge and springy, served alongside with mussels on a bed of al dente pasta.
 
SALOMA STEAK (MYR 49.90)
House signature- a choice of either striploin or rib eye.
Enjoyed my steak medium cooked, accompanied by black pepper sauce and smothered mashed potato with flavourful mushroom gravy. I personally like how the mash was being done, fuss-free and smooth with occasional little bites for added texture, yum!
 
SALTED EGG CROISSANT (MYR 9.90)
Don’t leave without trying their melting salted egg filling encrusted within a fluffy and flaky croissant which is also topped off with some handful sprinkles of sweet crumbs too!
The pastry is light and puffy, making it the perfect pairing with the warm and gooey golden flow. It can be quite addictive though, hehe.
 
After the hearty feast, time to cool down the throat with some refreshing thirst quenchers!
 PINK LEMONADE (MYR 14.90)

One of Malaysian Heritage that certainly has been given a refreshing spike, zesty!
In a nutshell, MONA offers a balance of comfort and innovation in their menu, celebrating food that appeals to both novice and seasoned foodie through nostalgic comfort fare with a twist. Besides that, I adore how MONA aesthetically defines cocktail in its own unique way metaphorically.
