What we got:
Muugu is one heck of a place to find. We spent a good 10 to 15 minutes circling the Jalan Jati / Jalan Delima / Jalan Inai area before finally giving up and gave the restaurant a call. A good landmark is Villa Inai; take a left turn right before the condo block and you should be able to see it.
Complimentary bread
Twisty tomato (RM13.95)
Described as 'classic tomato - with a flying kick', Muugu's rendition of tomato soup does indeed have that extra zing to it - we suspect, with an addition of chilli, but just the right amount as not to overwhelm the natural flavours of the tomato fruit.
Truffle fries (RM11.95)
Ahhh, truffle fries. Although Wiki tells us that most truffle oil is actually not made of real truffles, that doesn't change the fact that the bowl of fries we had were wonderfully aromatic and absolutely addictive. So good we paid scant attention to the dipping sauce that came with it.
New York strip (RM39.95)
Muugu called it steaks 'award-winning', so how could we not order them to try? We got the 220g New York strip, which came with sides of ratatouille and mashed potato, and our choice of sauce (we opted for the red wine). We wouldn't necessarily call it the best we've had, but pretty decent as far as steaks go. The mashed potato was a little bland, but we loved the ratatouille. Yums!
Mixed seafood fettucine (RM27.95)
Our other main was the mixed seafood pasta - choose between the penne, fettucine, linguini or spaghetti, tossed with prawns, squid and mussel in a tomato base. Again, a fairly well-executed dish.
What we liked at Muugu, besides the service, was the rather affordable price tag relative to the location. For a restaurant housed in a bungalow a stone's throw away from the Golden Triangle, we expected prices to be on the higher side, where soups would cost somewhere in the mid-twenties and mains probably somewhere near forty (steaks would be in a different price bracket, of course). We really wouldn't mind revisiting.
As was the case with our Black Market vouchers, we got free RM25 credit, so we ended up only paying RM30 for RM100 deal value.
Tax: Service charge of 10%
How much we paid: RM33.20
