Ma Maison - serving good Japanese and Western dishes at Greenbelt 2, Makati

The rustic laid-back ambiance was very homey and inviting, with floral table cloths that resembles that of grandma's :)

If you want a more intimate dining experience, reserve this table at the back of the room so you can have a little more privacy.

Details like the iron chandelier and Tiffany lamp added glamour to Ma Maison's rustic Japanese-Western theme :)

While waiting for our food to arrive, our table was given a mug of breadsticks, which made our hungry tummies happy :)

My niece was so happy when she was given a plate of her own.

Baked Escargots (Php 385)

Buttery, soft and chewy huge snails - cooked just the way we want it. Adding a pinch of salt makes it even yummier!

Chasoba Salad (Php 425)

Ma Maison's cold green tea soba noodle salad was okay but I believe it is quite expensive for a plate of noodles, ham, veggies and egg salad.

Chicken Wings (Php 245)

Mmmm.. Ma Maison's chicken wings were good! I savored each and every little bite I could get from these crispy wings - flavors so full and tasty to the bone!

Don't worry. It's okay to get your hands dirty because each table gets a basket of wet tissue, etc :)

Aloe Vera Apple Juice (Php 125)

A refreshing apple juice with sweet aloe vera bits.

Tonkatsu (Php 375)

Ma Maison's famous pork cutlet is definitely one of the best! The meat was so soft and juicy with a crisp light breading.

Best way to eat it: Dab a bit of crushed Japanese rock salt, dip it in the special tonkatsu sauce, eat and ENJOY!

Ma Maison's tonkatsu comes with a side salad and mashed potato. I liked the Japanese dressing so much! It reminded me of Sushi Kushi's yummy ginger salad dressing - sooo gooood!!!

Seafood Paella (Php 695)

baked saffron rice with mussels, clams, prawns and squid

Ma Maison is a Japanese-Western restaurant and not a Spanish restaurant so don't expect too much.

Squid Ink Spaghetti (Php 275)

The spaghetti noodles were served al dente - with mushrooms, onions and squid bits in squid ink sauce. This was gone in seconds :)

DOTENI Hamburger Steak (Php 395)

What exactly is DOTENI sauce - it is made up of red miso beans stewed for 28 days. That's how special Ma Maison's doteni sauce is. Also, the patty consists of beef AND pork combined so expect juicy beefy meat and pork fats in this delectable treat.

Curry Udon (Php 325)

Ma Maison's curry udon noodles came in a sizzling bowl. The soup was very rich, zesty and flavorful - perfect with a slice of bread or a cup of rice.

Beef Stroganoff Butter Rice (Php 375)

Buttered rice wrapped in omelet served with beef slices in brown sauce

Frozen Green Tea Brazo de Mercedes (Php 185)

I will definitely come back at Ma Maison not just for their TONKATSU but most especially for their Frozen Green Tea. It was a four-layer of heavenly goodness: egg meringue, green tea ice cream, custard cream and graham crust.

White Chocolate Mixed Fruit Tart (Php 195)

I was never a fan of white chocolates but my niece loved this the most, especially the fresh fruits that came with it. The filling tasted that of a milky cream chocolate cheese that makes kids go gaga over dessert.

Ma Maison is encouraging customers to text their comments/suggestions, which goes to the top management and store manager. This way, they get to make necessary actions faster. Of course, Sofia doesn't know how to send an SMS yet so she made her own "letter" to Maris, our superb server.
