So... This place was... different. But
in a decidedly very good way.
Approaching the restaurant, the first
thing that struck me was the sign. The utterly deceptive sign. It was
bright. Colourful. And the sign promised breakfast and meals.

| Mrs. Amigos - restaurant exterior |
Given
the name, the associations immediately conjured up were Spanish- or
Mexican-themed breakfasts and brunches. Which was great! Except –
didn't my buddy invite me to a French restaurant...?
Maybe he got his European races mixed
up...? Unlikely, right? But hey, anything's possible!
When I get on in there, a bright and
shiny and clean restaurant interior awaited me. Sitting down, I was
handed a menu by eager waitstaff. And then something else stuck out –
the waitstaff was all Chinese, and on display in the back were
Chinese pastries. ... Wasn't this place called Mrs. Amigos...?
Curiouser and curiouser. My friend,
seeing the skepticism on my face, assured me that the place was
great, incongruencies and all.
So, I cracked open the menu and saw
largely French fare – mussels in white wine sauce, leg of lamb, and
the like. And every now and again, something Chinese-sounding caught
my eye. Like dumplings.
Shrugging, I ordered the things that
caught my eye: Mussels in white wine sauce to begin, and pork chops
as a main dish. My friend got the fried chicken on pasta.
And then, as the food started arriving,
I got the first of the excellently pleasant surprises that the place
delivered. The mussels smelled fantastic, and was doled out in a huge
portion. I checked the menu again: Was all this really only $7.99?!
