Overpriced and underwhelming

Let me start by saying this - I have never been to Burma or had Burmese food before. But based on my previous experiences with other South East Asian cuisines, and after factoring in the taste and portion of the dishes, I would say that overall I found the food overpriced and slightly underwhelming.

 I think these are Burmese style samosas? They taste pretty similar to Indian samosas. But they were quite thin and not chonky at all. Thin in both skin and filling. Reminded me of the kind of samosas you can get at a party/buffet.

 Salad was decent portion, taste was OK but nothing spectacular in my opinion. Felt like it could've used more spices or sauces because overall it tasted a bit bland, but then again, as I said, I don't know enough about Burmese food to comment!

Mains: (Noodles & Large Plates)
Mohinga (According to their menu, this is their national dish, $168)

 Flavour profile reminds me of laksa noodles. The soup had a nice blend of flavours and spices, but I felt like it was missing something. Maybe it could've been more spicy? I don't know. An okay tasting dish, just no wow-factor.

 This was absolutely delicious, my favourite dish of the evening. However, the portion feels barely enough for one person. And while this was very tasty, it was also very expensive at $348! I feel like I could've eaten something similar for half the price at one of the many Indian/Middle-Eastern restaurants we have in Hong Kong. The menu says that the beef used is Australian Wagyu beef cheek, which probably explains the cost....

Desserts: (The waitress recommended that sharing one between two would suffice, but we wanted to try more so we ordered two desserts. I'm glad we did, because the portions were again quite small...)

 Size was a standard single scoop of ice cream. (one person can easily finish it). I liked the banana crumble on the side, it added a nice texture to the dessert, but the burmese tea flavour was rather subtle. It's there, but you really have to look for it (or in this case, taste for it).

 Of the two desserts, we preferred this one. We liked the balance between the creaminess of the custard and the freshness and chewiness of the sago. A sweet and refreshing dessert to finish off the meal.

3PM  in  Rangoon

 We also ordered two cocktails: 3PM in Rangoon ($128, 4/5 Boozy Level) and Sugarcane Sour ($118, 1.5 Boozy Level). The drinks were tasty, but their alcohol portions are similar to their food portions - which is not a lot
I guess while that was too be expected for the Sugarcane Sour due to its low boozy level, I found 3PM in Rangoon to be quite weak as well.

The bill came to around $1300 for two persons including two cocktails (or $650 per person). While not outrageously expensive, the portions were definitely on the smaller side - I felt like we left without really having a proper dinner. Just doesn't feel quite right for the price we paid. I must say though, the service was fantastic throughout. Maybe worth a try once - but only at lunchtime if they have lunch sets? Hard to recommend paying the a la carte prices for dinner.

    nuts酸酸脆脆既，d菜n番茄新鮮
    口感同味道都一流

    跟住係mohinga 麵
    如果要我好膚淺咁形容 🙊 我覺得似椰汁咖喱湯米粉 味道係特別 不過沒有好印象深刻 都係東南亞風味嘅感覺
    d米粉有d碎 面頭有d類似炸粉既東西 都冇乜特別 係吸d湯味道🙃🙃

    跟住就係一口氣上各種咖喱 加米飯仲有個魚
    有個清淡既雞湯同埋炸蒜頭，炸蝦仔嘅東西
    我個人就覺得啲咖喱係幾好食 但係唔算好特別😆 魚唔算好特別，都係酸酸嘅味道咁

    PS 米飯 豬肉咖喱 薯仔蛋咖喱都可以任添
    不過我哋兩個人都係添咗少少飯就冇添 超飽
    個炸蒜頭蝦米配咖喱同飯好襯 幾好
    飽到想死
    最後有個甜品係香蕉奶茶雪糕焦糖脆脆
    d香蕉唔係一般超市d香蕉
    似係啲東南亞比較硬嘅香蕉 加d吉士味 總括而言 味道唔錯 😻😋

    我個人都會推薦一啲鍾意嘗試新菜式嘅人試呢間餐廳 😋😋😋
    不過，真係好特別或者好明顯感受到唔同風味嘅，我覺得係兩個前菜：茶葉沙律同埋豆薄餅 😻😻😻

    12:00到餐廳冇人
    侍應服務好好，好有親切咁，有添水，抹枱等等 😊😊☺️
    又會問吓你有冇試過緬甸菜 吹下水咁
    我不過1點後就好多人，特別係外國人，唔戴口罩周圍走來走去 又超嘈 😰🥶🥶
    都建議各位非繁忙時間 例如12pm黎
    你就更加感受到慢慢，平靜咁食既開心感覺 ☺️
    我嘅緬甸朋友都好親切好好人 響呢間餐廳都感受到同樣嘅氣氛
