The first European explorers set sail with hopes of finding new, exotic spices to placate the palates of epicurious monarchs, but all they found were heaps of boring, inedible gold. Pick up where they left off by broadening your mouth's horizons with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of Pan-Asian cuisine and drinks at Mama Fu's in Hollywood.

Open an Asian-American dialogue with the guidance of a wide-ranging menu and the goodwill of taste-bud ambassadors. Start off with an order of spicy thai dynamite shrimp served over Asian slaw (regular $5.49, large $8.99), then dive into the Eastern seas of flavor with seared ahi tuna steak, encrusted in sesame and served over a bed of sautéed spinach ($14.99). Soak veggie-loving fangs in the red thai curry with tasty garden bits such as broccoli and red bell peppers in a spicy coconut sauce, and add a potent protein punch up with tofu, beef, shrimp, or chicken ($7.39–$9.39). A gluten-free menu is available, along with decadent sweet offerings such as Mama's dessert roll, a cheesecake and pastry hybrid tooting a horn of raspberry sauce ($3.99). Customers can opt for dine-in, carryout, or delivery ($5 charge), ensuring grabbing a bite is more convenient than grabbing a potbelly pig doused in maple syrup.

• We had Wonton soup which I may add is always delicious there and Crab Rangoons. The Rangoons are a new addition to the menu and a very welcomed one. They are light crispy and the filling is delectable. – Anika G., Yelp
• Excellent Thai basil noodles (love the siracha sauce). Friendly, efficient service. – Mitzvah Girl, Urbanspoon
