About the event

🔥 DUSTY DINNER x ABBY LEE 🔥

We’ve been waiting for this one. For one night only, we’re welcoming the brilliant Abby Lee, creator of Mambow, into the bakery for a proper Malaysian feast.

Mambow is an exploration of Malaysia’s huge and diverse regional cuisine, but for this dinner Abby is going back to her roots, cooking a home-style Nyonya feast — Chinese-Malay cooking inspired by the food she grew up around.

And look at this menu 👇

🥟 ASSAM PEDAS OXTAIL CURRY PUFF x DK

🍍 UDANG MASAK LEMAK

Nyonya prawn, pineapple & coconut curry

🐖 BABI CHIN

Braised pork belly, fermented soybean & soy caramel

🌶️ OKRA SAMBAL BELACAN

Torch ginger flower

🍚 TURMERIC RICE

Dark roasted coconut

🍨 KUIH DADAR & KOPI ICE CREAM

Born in Singapore to Malaysian parents, Abby grew up watching her grandma cook and eating coconut pancakes and wonton noodles. Her cooking journey has taken her from Michelin-starred kitchens in Italy to Peckham Market and eventually to Mambow’s permanent home in Clapton.

Mambow has since picked up a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand and a serious stack of industry recognition, including being named one of the UK’s Top New Restaurants and #1 restaurant in London by Time Out. Boom!

This is going to be a proper one.

DON’T MISS IT.

AS THIS IS A SET MENU, WE CANNOT CATER FOR DIETARY REQUIREMENTS.

THERE IS NO VEGETARIAN OPTION AVAILABLE.

THIS TICKET IS NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-EXCHANGEABLE.
