Mun Mun Thai Cooking

Finally getting the opportunity to this popular Thai joint and it did not disappoint. The seating is a little small and can't accommodate large group seating. At near full strength of 13pax, we were split 7-3-3. The place was still packed at 1500hrs and that's the crowd on a Sunday.

Ordered On:
16Mar25
Recommended order by regulars: E2
Crispy Fried duck with red curry, Thai Basil, vegetables and rice €22. x7
Drinks like Beers and Radlers go for about €4.50

*A fusion of Thai and German. The duck wasn't dry and nicely fried. What's great is the huge portions of fragrant vegetables that comes along with this very filling meal which would even for me be a meal and a half.*
H1 Gai Pad Bai Kaprau €19.50

*Great spice and was completely polished off*

H3 Gai pad King €19.50

*Their dipping sauce hits the spot!*
Food 4/5
*Authentic, European sized portions!*
Service 4/5
*Like any of the dipping sauces, just ask for it! They're cool about it and prompt to clear plates and bring ice to the table.*
Ambience 4/5
Value 3.5/5
*Not the cheapest but post-Covid, prices have gone up.

Great portions and nice atmosphere too! Great for small group eats and their Asian flavors are really spot on authentic. Would recommend when craving some Thai and if looking for some unique fusion of German and Thai, to try their Crispy fried duck with curry. Don't forget the table side condiments to up that spice level!

Cafe Lutipold
(Located beside residenz and recommended by Catherine)

Michelin guide for 2015/16/17

*Looks like some great simple take away options*

Click here for ABBA location of Cafe Lutipold
 An absolutely stunning court yard located just a stone’s throw away from Residenz Platz. (Click here for full review). Beautifully designed with the balance of nature and natural light. Absolutely stunning and definitely instagram worthy. The place is packed and advance booking is advisable though they accept walk-ins as well. Chances of dining in the enclosed courtyard itself is slim.

Ordered on:
02March2017
Tomato-bell pepper soup with a praline made of goat’s cheese and smoked oil €7.90

*Exquisite! The roast from the capsicum soup shines through. Served together with a ball of creamy goat’s cheese, its pure umami. Stunning red with a white center. Totally worth the order.*
Stewed Ox cheeks a la bordelaise with baby carrots and
truffled purple potato mash €17.90

*This dish was pretty okay. The purple mash is more of a gimmick really but the ox cheeks were prepared well. The sauce well balanced and accents the slow cooked cheeks beautifully.*
Pastry with veal stew, vegetables and cooked
au gratin with tarragon-hollandaise sauce. €16.60

*The crust was where the money was at. Flaky, light and went beautifully with its filling. The vegetables weren’t at all over cooked and really shown true. A slightly elevated version of a basic pie.*
Roasted quail breast with apple-celery salad, marinated
wild herbs and crystallised walnuts €12.95

Though tastefully presented, the apple salary slaw is a little bit of a let down. It tastes very similar to coleslaw. The refreshing cucumber strips were interesting though and food for thought for other salad dishes. The quail breast, though perfectly prepared, for lack of better words pretty much taste like chicken.
Dessert

 Desserts can be added on. Of the three, top selection goes to the chocolate which has a Roche texture and taste to it, followed by strawberry and lastly the lime tart (which was a little too sour.)
Total fed 4 at about €25 each with tip.

A pretty good overall dining experience which could have faired better if not for the less than friendly staff that we approached upon first entry. The first two gents we asked for seating did acknowledged our existence but did not help in finding a table. We weren't even shown to a preoccupied table and left there. Only later when we were tended by another female staff was service way better.
Initial service setbacks aside, the desert section were fantastic and worth the order. Even for quick takeaway sandwiches and desserts, this place is worth a visit especially after a tour of the Residenze or after shopping along walking street.

Bella Itallia
(230m/3min walk)

Click here for ABBA location of Bella Italia A stone's throw away from Hilton Munich, Bella Itallia serves up  classic Italain eats. Their decor changes with the seasons and is really quite pretty. 

Ordered On:
02March2017

Spaghetti Vongole 6.50Euros

*The pasta was done al dente. Not that many clams to bring the flavors of the sea, but a pretty simple dish.*

Bella Italia +rucola 8.10Euros

*Classic Itlian pairing. Pretty ok pizza.*

Four Cheese Pizza 11.60Euros

*4 cheeses. You can't go wrong. The only
down side is the crusts here are on the soggy side.*Spaghetti Scampi (not pictured) 11.60Euros *Reported to be salty and with a sporadic sprinkling of scampi meat.*

 Fed 4 at about 14Euros each.

A simple place if looking for some pasta dishes. For cheaper and maybe better thin crusted pizzas, one is better of going to Pizzescos with huge pizza slices at 3euros a slice.

Don't know where to get your pork knuckle and duck fixes yet not pay exorbitant prices? Wirtshaus Zum Straubinger offers better quality eats over Horfbaunhause Munchen.

Ordered On:
03Oct2016
(By Wing)

19Euros per pax fed 2.
Brothers meal or something.
A mixed meat platter. "Damn good man!" - Wing
Note that its 19Euros a pax but you get an array of everything!
 Ordered On:
17Sept2016

Quater Crispy Duck 13.50Euros

Half Pork Knuckle 13.50Euros

x3 Radlers

Fed3 15 Euros each.

The drinks here are so much colder than the rest of the places visited! The crispy duck is pretty good and the half pork Knuckle is of better standing and quality as opposed to those found in Horbaunhause. Other than that, the way they do their potato balls here are far superior to those had elsewhere. Usually they are starchy gloopy balls, but here, they are pretty decent and more enjoyable! 

Wirtshaus Zum Straubinger is a great alternative go to location for a more private dining atmosphere, offering cold beers and quality eats.
