My family and I went to Mesclun Restaurant and Cafe for Sunday lunch, and it was my first time there. I had heard mixed reviews about the place, so I wanted to try it for myself. Believe it or not, my favorite dish was the complimentary bread with garlic butter. It was toasted just right and was really soft on the inside. Overall a good meal. It started off bad but ended well enough.
The Cream of Mushroom Soup was a bit malabnaw (watery) for me, but the subtle truffle taste was there. It wasn’t very enjoyable for me.
The Mesclun Salad was alright. I just wish it had more ham.
The Yakuza Chicken intrigued us because of the name, but it’s basically chicken karaage. I liked how the crisp breading was a thin layer and how the chicken meat was tender. The katsu sauce that came with it kept us guessing. It had the consistency of peanut butter but tasted a lot like sesame dressing. Still not sure until now.
The Sisig Spaghetti for me was awesome. It really had that sisig essence, but wasn’t fatty enough to make me feel sick. It had the right amount of spiciness and the chicharon sprinkle added a nice, crunchy texture.
I liked the House Cured Corned Beef for the tenderness of the flavorful beef. The tangy tartness offered by the mustard sauce was a nice touch.
Really tender ribs with a nice Hawaiian BBQ sauce. However, the grilled corn was too charred and dry.
A classic, well-executed Beer Battered Fish and Chips with a very light, fluffy breading. Loved the malt vinegar and the garlic sauce. Adding the fried jalapeno wasn’t a bad idea, but could’ve been better if stuffed.
The Chimichurri Chicken was nicely seasoned and very tender. I especially loved the mashed potatoes for the creamy consistency and the buttery taste.
The Chocolate Cake was terribly dry and crumbly. We hypothesized that it was left in the fridge for too long. We mentioned this to the server when she asked if we liked the dessert. The management was nice enough to offer us a different slice of cake to take home. We said it was unnecessary.
The Lemon Meringe Cake was too sweet for me because the meringe-to-sponge ratio was a bit too high. If the meringe layer had been thinner, the sweetness would have been balanced out by the sponge cake. It was still good though. I liked how they added marshmallow icing.
