Mama Lan in Brixton Village

Every time I come to Brixton Village there seem endless possibilities of where to eat. Saturday night the village really comes to life with live music from DJ's to bands entertaining the diners. 

On this occasion Brixton Village delivered yet again on a dinner delight with Mama Lan, a little restaurant bringing the taste of Beijing to London. Mama Lan started as a supper club in 2010 and since then has expanded and opened its doors in a permanent location. The menu is simple and seasonal, divided into Beijing dumplings, street snacks and salads and a choice of two mains.

Little Lamb - not my cup of 'hot pot'?

Little Lamb is situated on Shaftesbury Avenue, and is primarily a place where you can order hot pots, or steamboats as most people know them. Having gone to Beijing Dumpling on Lisle St, and only paying £20 for ALL you can eat ingredients, I was slightly 'worried' about potentially being unsatisfied with 5 ingredients per person at £23 (yes, it is still a lot of food, but if given an option, 'greedy' is often the choice).
