Belated bday dinner with Lawyer. Heard many good things about this restaurant. Loved the deco when I walked in. Very classy and chill. Servers were welcoming and friendly. Lawyer’s actually been here before, so we ordered things not tried before. Wine list was ok. We both ordered a glass of Riesling. First to arrive was the colorful tea leaf salad. Lawyer laughed in my face when I expressed concern that I might not be able to get to sleep cos of the caffeine in the tea leaves (I slept like a bab

Wine list was ok. We both ordered a glass of Riesling.
First to arrive was the colorful tea leaf salad. Lawyer laughed in my face when I expressed concern that I might not be able to get to sleep cos of the caffeine in the tea leaves (I slept like a baby that nite). Star of the dish was of course the pickled fermented tea leaves (known as Laphet)- didn’t taste like tea tho.... other ingredients included cabbage, cherry tomatoes, Burmese peas (which I thought were peanuts) and sesame. Very crunchy.

Then came a bowl of mohinga 米粉, with tempura sweet pea (which I thought were peanuts again), in a thick herbal fish-and-shallot-based broth. No fishy taste at all. Chili oil on the side for Lawyer.

No curries for Lawyer (since I didn’t take spicy), so ordered the biryani (mixed rice dish) with Australian wagyu beef cheek. Rice was a bit too dry for me. Still nice tho.

To finish off, Burmese milk tea ice cream on banana crumble. Very yummy, but could do away with the banana, since I’m not a banana person.

In summary, interesting experience. First time to try Burmese cuisine so no comments on authenticity. Worth trying.
