The Jungle — Restaurant in Kowloon

The Mexican food was just inauthentic and extremely disappointing. We ordered beef tacos and chicken fajitas. Overall, the experience was unsatisfying with the price we paid.

The wait took 30 to 40 minutes before the food came. The tortilla of the tacos($138) was cold. The tacos were half full. They only had a few pieces of beef. The vegetables inside were some cheap purple veggies like those packaged ones found in the supermarket. Each taco only had 1 spoon of guacamole and 1 spoon of sour cream. It made us feel like it was something we could make at home.

The fijita ($148) just didn't taste Mexican but Italian somehow. After putting the fillings, the whole roll tasted like pizza. The salsa tasted weirdly salty like canned food. It looked a little red and brown but turned out it did not taste like the normal salsa with tomatoes and cilantro.

Lastly, the table was not spacious that we were pretty uncomfortable. The kid at the back kept kicking and if you're relatively bigger, you have not much room for movement. The lighting was strangely purple which made reading the menu difficult.

I get this place is Nepalese. However, since the menu was 90% Western (American/Mexiacan) with its prices, as customer, I expected some decent...

My first time to try Nepalese food🇳🇵, and I really enjoyed this dining experience! The interior design of the restaurant looked like a jungle🌳, the decorations just matched with the restaurant’s name - ⍋TᕼE ᒍᑌᑎGᒪE⍋

Must-try - Momo (The Nepalese dumplings)🥟! They looked like Chinese dumplings, can be either steamed or deep-fried. For the filling, you can choose from either chicken, pork or cheese🧀.

The dumplings are placed in a bamboo steamer, and each one is filled with lots of meat🤤! The outer part of the dumplings has a chewy texture, the chicken filling is delicious and juicy, it’s also mixed with onions and spices. The dish is served with homemade chili sauce, which creates additional flavour to the dumplings!

TACOS🌮 The soft tortilla is filled with shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, tomato salsa, guacamole🥑, and sour cream. For the filling, you can choose from either American Southwestern style chicken, roast beef or shrimp.

We have tried the shrimp one and the American Southwestern chicken one. The shrimps are flavourful. The chicken has been marinated, it is well-grilled, with good taste!

The tomato salsa is a bit sour and spicy, the overall flavour is refreshing and really...

The Jungle a nice concept but not so well executed just yet. Some fine tuning is still needed. The cocktails are a diabetic trip and just too sweet. My friends ordered the "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Elderflower Paloma". The absinthe and the grapefruit added to each cocktail was like a shock to taste buds, and not in a good way. The Coco mocktail was a bit better but also too sweet at the beginning.

The food and drinks take too long to come out. It took 10 minutes for the drinks, and an additional 20-30 minutes for tacos, momos, and the BBQ pork belly. A slow kitchen. Set your expectations low for the tacos, which seemed to use the guacamole from a pre-mix. It took 1 hour for the chatamari "pizza" to come out. The chatamari pizza was probably the best thing we had for our meal. But we had to follow up on it and they told us "2 minutes". It was not 2 minutes and ended up being 10 minutes. The momos don't have enough filling, but...
