Scottsdale’s Little Rangoon to close at end of May
The Valley’s only Burmese restaurant soon will be just a fond memory, as Little Rangoon at Scottsdale Road and Shea Boulevard closes at the end of May.
“We’ve become one of the casualties of the ongoing economic situation,” said Elizabeth Chan, who, with husband Alfred, opened the little eatery in the Scottsdale Promenade center in February 2008.
It’s a significant loss to our international dining scene, and if you’ve never had Burmese food, you owe it to yourself to hurry in now and give it a try. The southeast Asian menu is an herb-and-spice rainbow, drawing from its neighboring countries of India, China and Thailand. That includes crispy opo (gourd) fritters, fish cake salad, ba-yar-kyaw soup (deep fried pea-chile pulp), and catfish chowder with rice noodles and crunchy peas.
“We really enjoyed serving our unique cuisine to the public,” Elizabeth said, adding that a bargain awaits any creative investor who might pop up. “We’re trying to sell the whole operation at 75 percent off our capital, giving buyers the option to keep our cuisine if they want.”
Still, she noted, “The chance of finding a buyer with the ability to cook our cuisine is next to nothing.”
For fans of the distinctive foods of Myanmar (formerly Burma), there is still a whisper of hope. George & Son’s Asian Cuisine at Frank Lloyd Wright and Via Linda in Scottsdale offers a few Burmese choices scattered among its extensive selection of Chinese dishes.
