At a glance - Mama's Buoi

Chadstone shopping centre has been well known as the fashion capital, but now can also lay claim to being one of the thriving food hubs in Melbourne. Last year in October , Chadstone underwent a major redevelopment , and as a result, the shopping centre now boasts two dining precints consisting of well known establishments such as the Burger Project, New Shanghai and Fonda. Along with these restaurants, there is also Woodstock Pizzicheria, New Shangahi, Mama's Buoi, Marae Izakaya and Mezz, which shows that Chadstone offers a high caliber of food offerings for all visitors. 

To celebrate the plethora of offerings, Gastrology attended Chadstone's progressive dinner which allowed us to taste dishes from all the restaurants. 

Mama’s Buoi creates a u nique dining experience that evokes the adventurous side of all those who step foot in the door. It boasts an authentic, yet modernised menu, taking you on a c ullinary journey of all that Vietnamese cuisine has to offer. Inspired by Mama Hoang’s home recipes, the Mama’s Buoi concept encourages diners to ‘eat food like family’. The open plan kitchen allows guests to watch the chefs as the prepare the dishes that Mama’s Buoi has become famous for, using fresh ingredients delivered to the restaurant daily.

We enjoyed the Beef betel leaf par cels, fragrantly seasoned, grilled rolls of beef and the Crispy coconut tiger prawns with kaffir lime coconut dipping sauce.
