Muugu Fork offers new Rainbow Cheese Dippers

Muugu Fork - Flatlay

Scrolling through Instagramโ€™s Explore page while travelling to work keeps me occupied. Photos that I always double tap are those that involve gorgeous and eye-catching food, such as rainbow dishes or cheese pulls. And a halal-certified cafe, Muugu Fork, just came up with a dish that combines both of that!

Food at Muugu Fork

Muugu Fork - MuUnicorn Rainbow Cheese Dippers

We got our highly anticipated MuUnicorn Rainbow Cheese Dippers ($9.90+) as starters. It came along with two house-made dips – salsa and truffle mayonnaise. We could see drips of gooey cheese oozing out of the crust, as if it were teasing our hungry souls.

Muugu Fork - Rainbow Cheese Stretch

My colleagues were armed with their phones, ready to capture the colourful cheese encapsulated in the fried batter. I deftly snapped the crispy batter into half and proceeded to stretch it.

The mozzarella was piping hot and really stringy, showing a colourful trail of that dairy goodness hanging between my outstretched hands, reminding me of Spongebobโ€™s iconic meme. The batter was thin, light, and addictively crispy. The milky mozzarella had a herby note to it, and there was a slight aftertaste of the colourings.

To counter that, dip the stick into the sauces. I was skeptical of the truffle mayonnaise at first but I fell in love with it at first bite. The truffle oilโ€™s earthy notes added a unique flavour and a touch of extravagance to the dish.ย 

Muugu Fork - Rac and Chicks

I canโ€™t live without meat so I had to order theirย Rac and Chicks ($19.90+). The big plate of chicken cutlet was served with a side of french fries, house-made black pepper sauce, and arugula salad.

A torched raclette cheese wheel was carried to our table by a staff member. It was more than pleasing to watch an avalanche of gooey cheese flowing and blanketing the chicken cutlet.

Filled with anticipation, I cut into the crispy chicken. The raclette tasted sharper than regular cheese, and when eaten with the chicken, made this a standout dish. ย 

The chicken was a tad dry so I dipped it into the garlicky black pepper sauce. The fries were basic but I absolutely loved the salad; it was drizzled in a roasted sesame dressing which was so full-bodied in flavour, adding depth to every bite.

Muugu Fork - Ondeh Ondeh Cake

After all that fried food, we ended our meal with Ondeh Ondeh Cake ($8.90+). It consisted of three layers of pandan sponge, slabbed with gula melaka cream and grated coconut shavings sandwiched between every layer. My spoon sliced through the cake effortlessly, without it crumbling into a mess.

Fragrant and airy, the pandan layers complemented the sweet gula melaka cream wonderfully. The bits of coconut made the cakeโ€™s texture stand out from regular cakes, and really reminded me of the Peranakan kueh.

Ambience at Muugu Fork

Muugu Fork - Ambience

Nestled along Arab street,ย Muugu Forkย is found just across Village Hotel Bugis. This dimly lit cafe is decorated with whimsical props on its walls such as bicycle wheels, keyboard, and antique lights. They have outdoor seats as well if you prefer some cool breeze. Do note that they collect service charge and only cash and NETS are accepted. The staff member was really friendly and understanding, attending to us warmly when we needed it. To avoid disappointment, do reserve their MuUnicorn Rainbow Cheese Dippers in advanceย as they only have limited quantities every day.
