People in Melaka can revel in the existence of
affordable Western cuisine available at Mahligai Brasserie. Located at Taman
Lagenda, the kind of food served here includes barbeque, brunch, burgers,
pizza, sandwiches, and steaks, as well as French, Italian and British cuisines.
The interior of the restaurant is deserves compliments because clearly a lot of
thought have went into it. The burgundy table cloth and velvet chair in booths
gives the feel of casual yet sophisticated. The effort in trying to recreate an
ambience like that of a fine dining establishment resulted in an easy
environment to enjoy food in good company.
Once seated, the staff would serve you a glass of cold
water, so the choice to order more drinks is completely optional. The portions
are well enough to satisfy the average stomach. Take the Chicken Maryland for instance;
this historical American dish has more than just breaded chicken and gravy.
Added
to the mix are pineapple fritters and beef bacon on a bed of baked potatoes
littered with cubed fruits, and salad at the side. Knowing that some people may
be a bit particular, the gravy is served in a separate saucer. Then there’s the
Mahligai Burger, made up of juicy homemade beef or chicken burger garnished
with thin sweet potato sticks and coleslaw. The burger is served either the way
it is or with optional addition of egg and cheese to make an already
well-stacked burger even bigger.
The good thing about Mahligai Brasserie is that they take great care in presenting the dishes in the best way possible. Each plate is decorated nicely with an artistic touch that would worth an Instagram or two. Other notable mentions include the Cajun Beef Tenderloin, Club Sandwich, their choices of pastas.
