I heard about
Mangia long months ago since they opened their first store at Panglima Polim. Since I live far away from PangPol, (well yeah
the other reason is I have no company haha) I don’t even have a chance to visit
them and try what people most talked about, the Swedish House Meatballs. Being
curious of what Mangia served as well as their lovely interior, I was blessed
when last week I visited Grand Indonesia and saw they second store opened in
West Mall, yay!
It was still a soft
opening, so there’s not much on the
menu, but thanks God the Swedish House Meatballs was in
the house! I sat together with my fellow food blogger after an ice cream party.
My friends felt so full, so did I, but I
just cant resist the temptation of Swedish House Meatballs and decided to give
it a try. While waiting for the food to come, I took a photo as usual. The
interior is vintage yet quirky, romantic, and homey. I love their colorful and flowery deer
head on the wall. They also painted all the furniture with eye-catchy, candy
color but keep the customer’s eye soft with the warm light inside. Several
artificial trees put in the corner made the resturant feel so green and shady.
Well, enough about
the interior, now give the applause for the Swedish House Meatballs (59K)!
Surprisingly it quite a big portion with big plate, generous meatballs, heavy mashed potato and gravy sauce. This
Swedish House Meatballs actually brought the original Swedish serving with a
strawberry jam as the bomb. You should eat together the meatballs, mashed
potato, gravy sauce and the strawberry jam to get the Swedish temptation. When I combined
it all, I felt at first awkward, but when it came into my throat, God, this is
heaven! The tasty and juicy meatballs perfectly combined with the savoury of gravy sauce and and the sweet of the
jam, it was a perfect mix for me! Everything just being addictive for me, I
even couldn’t stop even for a while to chew the meatballs hahahaha!
Instead of the
meatballs, they also have snacks like this Perkedel Mayo (29K) which appeared like a corn fritters, an Indonesian snacks hihi. I love how crunchy they were. The
other surprise was the sauce, it was like a combination of mayo and peanut
sauce. Very tasty!
For the drinks,
they have several line like this Almond Ginger Iced Tea (25K) and Detox Special (29K) which
become their customer’s favorite. The Almond Ginger Tea was super refreshing with
a sweet almond flavour and a lil bit ginger sensation inside. While the Detox
Special is a green smoothie consist of cucumber and celery, CMIIW,
and the taste for me was good, I even taste the awkward celery flavour inside, but my foodie friend who had tried this before, said that this one was sweeter than before.
Anyway, I got a
super great early dinner that day. Very appreciate with Mangia’S friendly service. The waiters answered any of
our questions patiently and even
asked how the food taste for me was. Although the food was a bit pricey but it speaks for the
taste, quality does not come cheap. Will visit Mangia soon
when they’re already adds the full menu!
