For the longest time, I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about Mizi Bistro at New World Park. In fact, I’ve walked pass that little restaurant many times and wondered at the crowds there. And yes, there are so many great rave reviews on so many food blogs I know that the food must have been pretty impressive.
So, we gave in to our curiousity and plunge right in to give it a try. Since there are so many food reviews about this place, I think I will just post up the pictures of what we ate and give a brief review of it all. No point writing a 1000-word review when so many others have waxed lyrical about the food there. Okay, I admit, I was just being lazy but well…it’s not like I cooked these food. I tend to feel less passionate about outside food nowadays compared to my own *ahem* delicious cooking.
A Review of Mizi Bistro, New World Park
Something to take the edge off your hunger as you wait for the food to be served…
Over at Mizi’s, they have this wonderful selection of value-for-money set meals that comes with drinks, soup, main course and free-flow of ice cream for dessert. All for RM19.90 only. And when I say wonderful selection, I meant the whole menu. As in you can choose any main course in the menu. A word of caution though, some of the main course may mean you need to add RM6 to the original price.
The above is the soup of the day, pumpkin soup. I am not really a pumpkin person but surprisingly, I do like the soup. Not too cloying or sweet as I’d thought it would be.
This is what I ordered, roast chicken breast with apples. Yes, they did this quite perfectly too, balancing the sweet flavours of cooked apples with the savoury sauces.
I can’t remember what The Food Critic’s dish is called but it’s basically roast chicken in a tomato-based sauce that complements the chicken pretty well. Nothing really to shout about but it still do have loads of great flavors. Like roast chicken in tomato-based pasta sauce.
Finally, there’s the free-flow of ice cream. I LOVE ice cream especially on hot humid days so I helped myself to three scoops and topped it up with chocolate rice and chocolate sauce. I even went for a second helping…mmmm…..
Final note: Food is reasonably good and it is worth the price. They have a nice relaxed ambiance and yes, this is a great place for some casual lunch or dinner. And by the way, if you can’t have enough of their food, you can try the original restaurant, JL Gourmet Corner at Prangin Mall, which was opened years before they open Mizi as a sort of branch.

I have been to this place countless times and while it remains a great place and I love the mushroom soup, I’ve become rather jaded with the menu. The last visit, I tried this really strange seafood concoction in a milky turmeric sauce (can’t remember the name) but it tasted just like plane food!

I find this restaurant OK with meeting-spec & reasonably priced dishes.

Yum~ Lurve Mizi. But what I love most about the restaurant is their mushroom soup! Too bad you din get to try dat. It was really creamy and thick, not the usual pour-from-can-heat-and-serve type we got at most restaurants. And the rich texture of the soup, yes, mouthful of mushroom pieces… really nice 🙂
Penangtuapui: Well, for that kinda price, I wasn’t expecting exceptionally good food anyway but it is reasonably good.
thenomadgourmand: I first tried their food at JL but wasn’t very impressed so I could say Mizi is an improvement.
550ml: that’s why there’s such a thing as too much of a good thing! The place must have something good for you to keep going back for more.
cariso: That’s why I like it, because it is reasonably priced.
YT: Maybe next time when we go there I’ll try the mushroom soup.
