If eating at Mount Marsala doesn't put your digestive track on overdrive, then you've got an iron stomach. Days after eating here, I am still feeling the effects of the spicy.
Sitting close to the kitchen, besides the music and other patrons, there is this wonderful sound of the wok utensils hitting the wok during the process of stir frying. These folks know how to use a wok properly.
The Masala Fish Finger, Momo Fry and Handsome Chicken Lollipops were all delicious. The fish especially was my favorite. While deep fried, the breading was crunchy and properly drained and spiced prior to serving. The fish flesh was well seasoned and flaky. My dinner companion and I were fighting over the last few pieces.
The Momo Fry with ground chicken was awesome. The dumpling skin was a good thickness and served well to soak up all the spicy sauce. The ground chicken filling was perfect. This was delivered on a super hot fry plate that thickened the spicy sauce.
Lastly the Handsome Chicken Lollipops were delicious BUT, some pieces were a tad bit over breaded. It came with what seemed like a mayo spicy sauce that was overpowering so careful how much dunking you do.
The mix fried rice was a knockout punch to the gut. So much spice, perfect rice, nice serving to share. It is rare that each component of the fried rice can stand on its own. The peas, the diced carrots, onions, egg, beef, shrimp, cabbage, every component seared in a wok perfectly stands on its own. No overcooked or mushy veggies; carrots or peas! That's a sign of great wok expertise. Last of the notables, the chili fish entree is also delicious.
The "American" Chop Suey was a major disappointment. Overly sweet, the noodles did not absorb the flavor of the sauce and thus seemed rather awkward. This was left behind almost completely. I'd steer clear of this dish in the future as I don't think this is for me.
A Goldeneye Noodle dish was similarly disappointing in that the noodles were too al dente. They were not reconstituted fully prior to wok frying and as a result the noodles were a bit stiff.
The Pina Colada drink served as a great palate softener to counter the spicy blast. Definitely did the trick!
Finally the staff are really friendly and provided good recommendations. Mount Masala is a definite gem.
