Mama Lan (Brixton)

• ) The atmosphere is really nice
• Spicy chicken wings are the most famous starter
• The fried vegetable balls are really yummy are crunch they are deep fried
• The portion is relatively big
• King prawns' dumplings are the only ones which are not grilled in the house
• Chinese leaf and carrot is outstanding
• My next stop was only a few shops down
• There in front of me was the one and only Mama Lan rolling the dumpling wrap for the spicy beef and onion dumplings I had just ordered
• I finished off with the recommendation of their beef noodle soup
• It was one of those weekends where there were constant underground works on the TFL I don&rsquo
• Brixton village was easy to find
• Brixton village is home to an international fair of restaurants all under one roof
• Wooden benches filled with happy diners reminded me of the streets food stalls in Hong Kong
• Each serving came with 5 pieces with chunky picked vegetables on the side
• The beef versions were a lot tastier
• The bowl of beef noodle soup broth was dark and rich in colour
• The noodles was thick and chewy
• Overall I think the beef noodles were really good
• The beef one is worth trying
• The menu here is minimal and some dishes are seasonal
• These delicious small bites are always gone in seconds
• Have some cash handy as card payments (at least for now) are not accepted
• Fantastic fresh dumplings with great flavour combinations
• It's pretty small (like most spots in the market) it was worth a small wait for a table and the service was fast
• Are somewhat reminiscent of food vendors in Asia where space (and being able to shuffle away fast) is not just a commodity
• Finally squeezing in next to a very loud guy having a shouty conversation with his poor date
• We ordered soft drinks along with prawn and water chestnut dumplings and some pork dumplings
• It falls apart in your mouth and is so bloody beefy
• Mama lan gets extremely busy so it's best to arrive early so as not to be disappointed
• The chicken noodle salad was delicious an I could happily eat plate after plate
• The dumplings were not as impressive although still tasty
• It also seemed a bit expensive when compared to other offerings in Brixton Village and we were a little shocked by the bill when it arrived
• Dalston represents with another foodie haven to rival the more established barrio&rsquo
• Mama Lan in Dalston is one of four locations
• As you can look like you are a bit of a billy no mates
• I opted to start with their cocktail of lemonade with rose
• A glass like jug with lashings of juice over chunky ice cubes
• The only observation I would have is that the seaweed sauce was very intense
