20210122 Mum Cha and San Churro TURN: Richard

Blog by Richard

I chose the venues tonight and I went to pick up Albert at about 5:25 and he gave me a “I survived 2020 Covid 19 commemorative coin, which he had for everyone. Thank you, Albert

We got to the Elephant at about 5:40. Con and Chad were there but not Elizabeth and Steve as they were still in Sydney

After a few bevy's and some discussion about politics, we headed to a new restaurant at about 7 pm.  Mum Cha is an Asian restaurant on Rundle St and at first appearance, it looked like a bit of an upmarket Dumplings r us further up the street

It was hot outside but beautifully cool in the downstairs part of the restaurant.

The service was impeccable as the servers were quick, polite, and very knowledgeable about their product. We asked for the entrees and mains to arrive at the table at the same time and they came back to us with a note from the Chef saying that it was not possible. I had thoughts of La Taberna last year but thankfully their service was very fast and the mains were very quick after the entrees

Here is what each of us had with score and review 

Con 

Prawn dumpling

Hainanese chicken and rice 

Con’s score was 5 as he felt it was not flavorsome enough although it was an adequate amount 

Albert 

Prawn and chicken wonton

E-Shan Eggplant 

Albert gave them 6.5 and also thought it was filling but just OK

Chad

Pork belly pancake 

E-Shan Eggplant 

Salted caramel pan Dan 

Chad’s score was 7 and he also enjoyed his special entree and thought the dessert was great but he was just too full at that point

Prawn and chicken wonton

Hainanese chicken and rice 

I gave it an 8. My wontons were in a soup and I then used the soup to add extra flavour to the main meal. I also used all the condiments as well chili and hoisin sauce. The chicken came with Bok Choy as well which I love

I tasted Chad’s dessert as well and would definitely get one if we ever came back

Afterwards we went to San Churro for some coffees and hot chocolate and the gang then got into my car and i took them all home !!
