Mango Tree (Elements) — Restaurant in Kowloon

Um....Before sharing the dining experience, would like 'highlight' their greetings. I was walking in asking for a table for nine, which understandably we were a huge group and should be better to make a reservation. We were happy to wait a bit. Staff looked surprised and didn't bother to take our group. Just randomly gave us a ticket telling us to wait for their call via phoning us. I was pretty shocked and asked how do you even call if you didnt ask for my phone number? Just to ask us go for a shop and come back? And what I saw at the entrance, there were plenty of empty seats and some even by combining, it easily made out a table for nine. When rest of us were pretty upset and would like to make a move leaving, the manager came saying they would arrange the table immediately and gave them a minute without leaving. Um.... Anyway, it's one of our group's birthday and if he didn't mind, we kept our decision.

Their pomelo salad was alright. Good portion to share. Refreshing and tangy. Love their cashews for a crunch. Funny to serve the whole big dish with one shrimp to share.

Soft shell crab rice roll was okay. Not until you bite through, you could even visibly find the soft shell crab. Rice paper was fresh that it wasn't chewy or dry. Mango slice gave a hint of sweetness. Fish sauce gave some saltiness. Whole dish wasn't bland at all.

Another funky dish served. The lettuce wrap with Thai stir fry mince. Restaurant served the heart of lettuce. How do you expect heart of lettuce could wrap the mince? It couldnt even tear in pieces but we ate in chunks mixing with the mince. Mince meat itself was delicious with limey and spiciness.

Shrimp cake and fish cake were bother the highlight of tonight. Shrimp cake was crispy and bouncy. Strong scent of shrimp flavour. Fish cake was herby and with a slight chewy texture. Very savoury. Perfect size for sharing.

Roasted chicken was also a great dish. Chicken was charred with crispy skin. Smoky, moist and juicy. It was served with sticky rice which definitely need to eat instantly. It went cool easily ending up tough and hard. Difficult to digest and bite.

Salty fish kale stir fry was my all time favourite. In spite of the saltiness, absolutely loving its fishiness and wok taste. Perfect to serve with rice. Kale was still crunchy and green. Water spinach stir fry was also one of my all time favourite. Love the crunch and chilli for a kick. Water spinach was fresh. Both vegetables were perfect to share.

Overall, food was alright. Just that we could not feel the warmth or sense of welcoming from...

The restaurent area is very large. It has many 4 persons tables along the window side. Though the outside views not much attractive, still can give us comfortable feeling. The table setting is has a certain distance, hgive us a strong privacy feeling. Service standard is quite good. Waiters or waitress are friendly and can provide good advise to us. This visit we ordered afternoon tea set. The restaurant provides faxibility on combination of tea set. Customers can order savoury for $238, only sweet for $138 or both savoury and sweet for $328. The tea set including savoury,sweet and drink. Savoury include pomelo salad with crab meat, chicken in panndan leave, shrimp and Thai sausage rice paper roll, char-grilled beef satay, crispy soft shell crab, yellow curry in mini crispy bread.

There are 4 different kinds of sauce serve with savoury. The sauces are: sweet soy sauce, sweetened vuinagar, satay sauce and sweet and spicy sauce.

This was my first time returning to Mango Tree, and I was pleasantly surprised by the remarkable improvements in the delicacy and craftsmanship of their Thai cuisine. From the appetizers to the main dishes and desserts, each dish was prepared with exceptional care and a genuine appreciation for quality, providing an unforgettable dining experience for patrons. I was so impressed with the flavors and presentation that I couldn't help but post pictures of our empty plates, not because we were hungry, but because the food was simply that outstanding. In fact, I was so impressed that I've already made a reservation to return in a week to sample more of their delectable offerings, including the highly recommended lobster and crab noodles.i

Notes: 2nd visit in a week We went back to try out the afternoon-tea. It was a delicacy. We also ordered their famous seafood platter. It was absolutely delicious.

3rd visit in 10 days This time, we went back to try their gigantic shrimps and the sauce was absolutely amazing! Wish they have one close to this level in...
