I’ve always found the name of “Cafe Mao” offensive. I ate there once – mediocre at best. They are probably as good at cooking food as Mao was at growing it. In my little fantasy world, I’d love to set up a little stall outside of the Cafe and sell Pol Pot Noodles. Wonder how long before someone would complain?
As ever, someone else expresses this thought so much better than I can.

It’s funny; on Monday I was forced to join a lunch at Mao in the city centre and, as I was eating my mediocre food (the service is always unforgivable), I wondered whether anyone else found the restaurant’s name tacky and offensive; great minds…

…yeah it’s a f*cking disgrace – mao killed something like 25 million during ‘the great leap forward’, and his noggin is now flogging 10th rate nosh. The Hitler Cafe anyone?
