One of the family used to serve as well and they were all very friendly. It seems they started this to fund the families education and I think they are all grown now so this might not be around for very much longer.Mayhttp://www.slowfoodkitchen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488444600218615887.post-89464553230377700792009-04-04T10:53:00.000+01:002009-04-04T10:53:00.000+01:00@Alex - Mandalay definitely does a good job of kee...@Alex - Mandalay definitely does a good job of keeping Burmese food represented in this country, though it's a bit of a trek.<BR/><BR/>Definitely try the ohn-no khao swe and, you're right, fritters rule all :)meemaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252248464524701128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488444600218615887.post-21119276194873731052009-03-14T17:42:00.000+00:002009-03-14T17:42:00.000+00:00The fritters are great, I agree, especially the Sp...The fritters are great, I agree, especially the Special Assorted option: there've been times when we've been there and eaten more of that than anything else. Strangely I haven't tried the Khau Swe yet, although it's something my Grandma used to make (she was Burmese) - even though I live a few minutes away I don't visit Mandalay as much as I'd like. <BR/><BR/>I like the decor though, I find it unpretentious and refreshing: with its rubber tablecloths and so on Mandalay has an ambience somewhere between cafe and restaurant, and it's a good place for a relaxed meal. As you say it's not as if there's any competition in London (or as far as I know the rest of the UK) in terms of Burmese food and it's a unique little oasis on the Edgware Road as well, which is crammed with Middle-Eastern restaurants and shisha joints.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997142121586211366noreply@blogger.com
