Having been bogged down with work lately, I have been quite sporadic with my activities when I do get time off. One of them would be to head into the CBD twice on the same day, one for a first aid course and the later to catch up with a friend over dinner.
The only perk I could think of when dining in the CBD on weekdays would be (hopefully) dealing with a smaller dinner crowd and so, better access to seating areas that are otherwise unavailable for walk ins on the weekends.
Miznon was certainly packed full when we arrived a little past 7.30pm for dinner and so, we settled for outdoor seating. The menu evolves around a sharing concept and yes, I was extremely excited to try out a few of the dishes.
Baby cauliflower flower - one of the most Instagram-ed items on the menu would be this dish. Not decked out with garnishes or anything mind blowing and upon query, only salt, pepper and olive oil were used. Curiosity got the better of us and the next moment, it was sitting on our table.
Unpretentious but extremely delicious it was. Soft to cut and seasoned to perfection. Who knew cauliflower would taste this good and truthfully, something I can easily polish off myself.
On the flip side, diners can help themselves to an array of sauces downstairs and the unlimited amount of pita bread there too. The pita bread smelled so good to the point whereby I was probably eating it so that I can smell it.
Lamb shawarma - I love love lamb dishes prepared the middle eastern way and this was no exception. Lamb meat was tender, succulent and coated with a delicious charred aroma. Again, something that I can easily and happily polish off.
Golden fish pita - I can be quite sceptical about pita dishes because often times, it wouldn't be generously stuffed which makes it appear less tempting. I did, however, loved this one from Miznon. Deep fried mulloway fish was not greasy on the palate and it tasted fresh, being surrounded by a slightly tangy medley of chopped tomatoes and coriander.
Swordfish fillet - well prepared and came loaded with what felt like an arsenal of cracked pepper. Would have liked it to be toned down a little tho.
