The Mandalay Bus has been part of Canberra's heart since original owner George Thaung first came to town in the 1950s to work as a chef at the Myanmar embassy.
In those early days, he had a caravan he would park in different places, selling Burmese food from his childhood. He bought the bus which now sits near Haig Park in Braddon in the early 1980s, and for years he filled the stomachs of late night revellers.
