Mango Mama Review

One word for Mango Mama, WOW! Not wow for their dessert but WOW for their price. I'll get to that in a moment. My friend wanted to try so we decided to go. When I entered the store...strong durian smell. I'm not a fan of it, don't hate it, but I don't eat it lol. It's ok size store. It was packed with people for some reason, we had to write our names down and wait. Waited for maybe 5-10 minutes? Not too sure, didn't time. Finally got a table and I was sitting on a spot with tape on the seat (ripped up). Uh...I was wearing thin tights that night and it got stuck on the tape!!! Good thing my tights didn't rip but it left a mark on my tights!!! ARG!!!!!!

Anyways, the service was good, the girl thought my friend had a question and came right over but my friend was just moving the hand around LOL!

Well, back to the WOW pricing. There was something I really wanted to try on their menu but looking at the price made me change my mind. Their cheapest thing is $5 something and it can be as expensive as $35 or more? I thought that was crazy! The dessert I wanted to try was $17 something, like REALLY? I can get a decent western dish with that price. That's why I'm not sure why this place is packed with people. I guess they are rich or didn't realize how expensive it was like us?

So, we ordered the mango tart, mango sago with grapefruit ($7), and mango saga mochi. My friends thought everything was really sweet but I thought it was ok. I can eat pretty sweet so maybe that's why. Everything was very mango. I did have a few fresh diced mango (3) and few tiny pieces of grapefruit (2) in mine. We all thought the portion was quite small for that price. My friend's mango tart was the size of normal tarts that you find at supermarkets and it cost like $8...

Overall, I don't find Mango Mama dessert OMG good. It's very pricey so if you don't plan to spend much on dessert, consider somewhere else maybe? Will I come back? Uh...nope sorry. My friend said she might come back to try their waffle thing that is not out yet but they put that in a picture menu. Why would you put something on a menu when you don't even have it...? One last thing for improvement, PLEASE FIX THAT SEAT before it rips someone else's tights!
