MOMOLICIOUS: Being a Bengali, we are genuinely in love with momos, be it any shape or size. I chanced upon Dumplicious on Southern Avenue quite a few times but until I saw it on Instagram, I did not find it legit. So today, determined and in a major “I always get my momo” mood I trekked to Dumplicious only to be told that their roof has caved in and they are closed at least for two hours. Unhindered, I decided to rest my case at Momolicious. Tucked in a dirt lane opposite South City Mall, I was impressed by the pretty pink decor. Since it was way past lunchtime, I decided to go for three varieties Afghani Momo, Handi Momo and Korean Momo. After a wait time of 20 minutes, I took a peek into the kitchen and I found that the girl who waited on me, was making the momos. I savored the Afghani Momos, which were drenched in cheese, with a pinch of guilt. The juicy and creamy chicken filling was sumptuous. The Handi Momos came in a plastic Handi and tasted like Mutton korma. The Korean momo was garnished with oyster or hoisin sauce (I am not too sure) and was bland and unappetising. I could eat only one piece of the Korean momo because maybe I was full or it didn’t tickle my tastebuds. Consider visiting this place if you care two hoots about calories and would not mind having a dine-in experience at a momo joint.
