Dine About Town has ended, which means Ana Mandara’s Stimulus Menu will be available again. It’s $35 per person, with your choice of starter (lemongrass chicken skewers, vegetarian wraps, or banana blossom salad); an entrée (sautéed garlic prawns, crispy-skin five-spiced poussin, or wokked lemongrass beef); and for dessert, Valhrona dark chocolate semifreddo or house-made ice cream or sorbet. Ana Mandara also has live jazz and happy hour specials in the Cham Bar Thu–Sat every week. (Another tasty place to check out chef Khai’s cookin’ is at Pot de Pho in the Richmond, and the price is right).
