New additions

Our display fridge finally arrived and we'll soon be adding more cakes and cold desserts to the menu..

We've also got new threaded curtains which have really enhanced our existing decor, and I must say it has a real "wow" factor now! We'll continue to improve and also be updating our menu with more mouth watering Thai dishes, so you must come soon to try them all!

Many happy returns!

We celebrated John's mum's birthday, Maureen, at Mango yesterday evening, along with family members. She is also the very person who created part of our staff uniform- our signature Thai pants! She will always be an important part of Mango. Happy birthday Auntie!

New items...

We introduced our mango cupcakes and green tea cupcakes earlier in the week, and my no.1 fan, Sammi, came to visit! She was so pleased to see the cupcakes, on top of the 2 avocado ice-cream "potong" that she ate. 

Sticky rice mango, "khao niew ma muang" has garnered quite a following too, over the past week. Well, Friday nite we catered for a surprise birthday party at Kinabalu Golf Club, and we were glad to see that most of the food had been cleared off the serving trays. In fact the leftover soup, had been "ta-pau"d. If you'd like to have a party at our place, or would like us to cater for your event, just call us at 014 6700709 (melanie/john)

Clash

Despite a surprise with the SMS for our joint promo with DiGi that was sent out earlier today, we managed to serve guests with the set menu. At the same time, we kicked off our Thai Mixed Rice Lunch.. very economical and fast for the executives in the area. RM1 for each vegetable, and RM1.50 for each meat. Boy, we had some happy campers! Glad that they've said they'll come back again too. 

Nevertheless, if you were one of the few selected DiGi customers who received the Mobile Voucher via SMS, the offer is as follows:

DiGi Customers' offer @ MANGO

7 item set menu for 2 @ RM25 (normal price RM41). 

Valid 1-30 June 2008. 

Call 014 6700 907 for reservations to avoid disappointment.

Includes:

1. Tom Yum Soup

2. Green Curry Chicken

3. Stir Fried Long Beans

4. Spicy Prawns

5. Jasmine Rice

6. Lemongrass Tea

7. Fresh Fruits

All the above items are for 2 pax. Just show our staff the SMS before ordering.

So we did have a number of people  calling to enquire, and we believe this is an offer not to be missed. However I'm not sure why some of the callers expressed their concern for Thai food being too spicy (??), even after explaining to them that they could request no chillies if they wanted... However, that defeats the purpose of Thai food... strange but true!

Engine's revved up

The opening was a blast, and we're quickly getting into gear for our mixed rice lunch coming up next week.. In the meantime, there're always things we learn from customers that keep us on our toes...However, the plus side is that it's always heartening to see people enjoy your food. Especially when you've put your heart and soul into making it. For instance, we had an order of one of my of mango cupcakes- mango pieces and mango buttercream- and the customers asked for another! Plus almost all the food was cleared off the plates. So far, we've had very positive reviews. Our opening day was really a test for us and I must thank our entire team for doing so well. And thank you for your support, especially fellow bloggers! 

We hope to see you all again soon.

Here's our ala carte menu:

MANGO OPENING 2 Jun 2008

 

We did it! Despite all our worries, our opening attracted a good crowd for both the official lunch opening and the day's dinner. In fact, the food was swiped off the plates within 1.5 hours during both sessions. Our dinner crowd was kinda overflowing, as latecomers struggled to find seats. But we were glad they stayed on to try our food. We've been running around so much in preparation for today-I'm completely knackered. Here's to busy days ahead. Photos of our day before prep and the day's event.
