Burlingame |
“ All those yrs we thought we knew evry store along Burlingame Ave. Mingalaba was certainly hidden from us b4. Inside has cultural l%k, table cloth & neat setting. Of their burmese & Mandarin chinese f%d, we asked for suggestion of d former. Green papaya salad ($9) w/ onion, garlic chips, peanut, dried shrimp & tangy dressing was unusual. D julienned papaya tasted bland & firm, more like a root veggie than a fruit. Not my fav. burmese egg n%dle soup ($9) was made w/ coconut chicken soup, onion, cilantro & lemon. Nice rich flavor, xlnt. Also tried lunch specials ($10) incl their version of sweet n sour soup. Rangoon beef was sauteed in a thick sauce of spices, tomato, onions & green chili. Intense taste like Kung Pao beef, but less tender, dfrnt spices. Curry lamb was mildly hot, lean meat & somewhat tender (not enough sauce). Sensible food portions. Xlnt service even amid large lunch crowd - poured tea, served n%dles for 3, & frndly chats. Worth a curiosity visit. ”
