Me and a girlfriend was out one Saturday afternoon and we did not really have a plan on what we wanted to have for lunch and decided that we will just walk down Toorak road and discover what would wetch our appetite. We parked at the Como centre and from opposite the street our eyes caught this quaint little eatery and decided to check out the menu. Misschu is an unassuming restaurant which has a fusion of asian nostalgia with modern western twist.
It is known as a tuckshop which is what we they call food stalls in schools in the Asia region. We were well received as we walk in and the wait staff was nice and friendly. There is a menu and drinks notepad on the table, you tick in the boxes what you want and the wait staff will come take the paper menu from you.
We did not have to wait long before our food arrive. We started off with the egg omelet, avocado and balsamic caramelised onion fresh rice paper rolls which came accompanied with a sweet spicy sauce sprinkled on top with nuts. I enjoyed how the ingredients in the rolls were fresh. We also had the pork and prawn deep fried rice paper spring rolls, which came in little bite size with a chilli dipping sauce. I was glad that although fried it was not oily at all and I love the crunch of the paper rolls.
It was not long after that we had the lemongrass beef and seared atlantic salmon warm vermicelli salad. The lemongrass beef vermicelli was a little dry and could do with a bit more sauce but it had good flavour nonetheless. The salmon however had more sauce which tasted a little tangy, sweet and spicy all at the same time. The salmon was not over cooked which was a little pick in the centre.
Overall this place serves well if you after a quick simple meal. The portion was generous and we had some salad leftovers, we left with a full and contented belly.
