CityPaper reported that it comes from the owners of Mandalay Restaurant & Cafe in Silver Spring.
“Here at the Mandalay Café you will find dishes from all over the land of Myanmar (Burma). Burma occupies the territory in between India and China in Southeast Asia, and you may notice similarities between Burmese food and that of neighboring countries. You will also notice that Burmese cooking retains a unique identity all its own.
Burmese dishes encompass a full range of flavors and ingredients, including vegetarian and vegan options. Burmese cooking also offers a full range of spiciness from no heat up to as hot as you like. At every level of spiciness you will enjoy a meal full of flavor and texture.”
STAY TUNED. (more…)
