French-Japanese cuisine @ Miam Miam

Marrying French techniques with Japanese inspired flavours and ideologies, the team at Miam Miam is engineered to deliver a memorable dining experience.
Miam Miam is a French-Japanese fine casual café kitchen and is a labour of love by globetrotting friends with a passion for food. 

Taking much inspiration from kissaten, the age-old Japanese establishment, the dining space is casual and warm with the busy percussions of the kitchen playing in the background. The open space gives a full view of their centerpiece kitchen, living up to its café kitchen name. 
Berries soda

The berries soda was a refreshing summer time drink, with fresh berries and freshly picked mint leaves.
Iced matcha latte with matcha softee

Made from stone-grinded top grade Japanese Matcha powder, mixed with milk and slightly sweetened, topped with a brilliant green Matcha softee it is no wonder the iced matcha latte with matcha softee is one of Miam Miam's best sellers. We loved the delicious and intense matcha flavour and the creamy,yet light softee atop the matcha latte. 
Lobster bisque pasta 

The lobster bisque was beautiful. The bisque had a well-developed flavour profile, courtesy of being made from lobster shells. The pasta was al-dente. The grilled tiger prawn was a delicious addition.
Squid ink pasta

The squid ink pasta was perfectly cooked. Tossed in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, anchovies and squid rings, colored with premium quality Ikasumi powder, we loved the delightful addition of wasabi infused oil which made every mouthful moreish.
Iced coffee 

Bold but very light-bodied, Miam Miam's iced coffee is hand dripped and served in a unique copper cup to keep the coffee ice cold.

Of particular note are Miam Miam's sweet offerings - the souffles and pancakes are certainly Miam Miam's pièce de résistance.
Matcha souffle 

The matcha souffle was picture perfect. Using the same premium Matcha powder as Miam Miam's green tea latte, the souffle was beautifully light and fluffy.
Caramalised banana pancake

The pancakes at Miam Miam are sensational. Fluffy with some real "height", the souffle pancake was adorned with delicious caramel, banana  and served with vanilla softee. We enjoyed the addition of toasted almonds which added crunch and flakes of salt which really brought the flavours to the next level.
Adopting the Japanese ideologies of kaizen and kanban in its food and preparation practices, Miam Miam's kitchen prescribes a practice of continuous improvement which shines through in the quality of their offerings.
