Mangalamba burlingame

Good Burmese food in Burlingame. 

Nice rainbow salad with 18 different components consisting of noodles, spices, fried bits for texture, and topped off with some lemon and mixed at your table.  Fun and delicious dish!

Stewed chicken curry house noodles
Excellent slowly simmered stewed coconut chicken. 
Good rice noodle texture sopping up the curry.

Service, food were both good.

Overall 4 stars.  I would wait up to 20 minutes to eat dinner here.

Banh Cuon Tay Ho

Delicious Banh Cuon!

Delicate rice wrap that is not too oily and a good filling.  Served with the pork roll, fried yam+shrimp, pink raw garlic flavored beef.  Topped with fried shallots and of course served with a lot of nuoc Nam fish sauce.

Wifey got the turmeric catfish make your own roll.  Catfish was tasty with turmeric,  and green onions served on a hot plate.

Artichoke bread in Pescadero, CA

Arcangeli Grocery Co. - Norm's Market

Sensational artichoke garlic herb bread.  Piping hot from the backcounters of Arcangeli grocery, this might just be the most memorable bread I've had. Yeasty and chewy on the inside with a slight crunch on the outside.  Perfect amount of salt, and most importantly sweet hot artichoke hearts on the inside compliment the bread perfectly.  Truly memorable and definitely TTT approved.  Buy multiple loafs is my recommendation.

Gas Station or Delicious Mexican Restaurant?

Mercado & Taqueria De Amigos

So is this a gas station or a Mexican restaurant?  It's both.  You can kill two birds with one stone by getting your Mexican fix at Mercado Taqueria in Pescadero, Ca while or buying some batteries all from the same counter!  The food here was delicious.  The major difference was the tomato sauce which tasted similar to a san marzano tomato sauce.  It was light, sweet, slightly acidic, had some hints of mexican oregano and a bit of heat.  This was the foundation of the delicious mexican food we sample hered.

We ate

Trio of Tacos -  All Tacos had a bit of the spicy tomato sauce which made them awesome.

Fish - tasted like Cod.  It was fresh, seared perfetly, slightly sweet, and really delicious

Carnitas - Crunchy, flavorful, however nothing too different than other Carnitas

Lengua - AKA beef tongue wasAwesome.  Stewed to perfection.  Tasted like a cross between really delicious beef tendon and stewed short ribs.

Tamales - Pork tamales had a nice and light masa, pork was soft and succulent and taste true, but most imoportantly the delicate tomato sauce really completed this dish.

Definitely TTT approved.  If you don't want to wait at Duartes for an expensive overpriced meal, come spend $10 bucks here and you will not regret it i promise.  Remember to get some gas too for the ride home!
