I had lunch at Matahari Grill today with 5 of my colleagues. Everyone enjoyed their food. We all had the prix fixe menu for $18.
The chicken satay was very tasty but I enjoyed the green mango salad more. It was fresh and light and the mangos were not overripe and not hard as a rock. It's a small thing but a big deal.
The portion sizes were very generous and the Curry Laksa (egg and rice noodle in a tantalizing coconut curry broth with chicken and tofu balls) was particularly huge. The mango chicken was very good but tt was not spicy enough for me (although to be fair, I didn't ask for it to be made extra spicy). The hot sauce they brought me had the right kick to it for my taste buds and no one else felt that the dish needed more heat.
The Matahari stir-fry (which I do not see on the regular menu) had a very plentiful and flavourful sauce over glass noodles and vegetables and chicken. It was delicious.
The dessert (fried bananas with a sweet sauce and whipped cream, was probably the weakest part of the meal but still provided a nice touch of sweetness to finish things off.
I didn't find the food pricey like some reviewers have mentioned. I thought that for $18, the value for the money was quite good. The only real negative comment I have is that the food did not all come out at the same time and we often had to wait up to 5 minutes until the rest of our colleagues received their meal. I do appreciate that this is a first world problem...
