Mamak Dang Malaysian Fusion offers excellent Malaysian food and service in a Malaysian-styled eatery! We arrived at Mamak Dang on a Thursday afternoon, and it just finished the lunch hour rush so there were hardly anyone inside. This worked to our advantage because we had the full attention of the staff and chef! 😀 Once […]
