Off to Burma!

...or the restaurant, at least.

Smita, Vishal, Saurabh and I met last night for dinner at Burma Restaurant. I have been there a couple of times and while the food there is good...I wouldn't say it is out of the world. I would definitely go back (ESPECIALLY for their iced coffee...Oh My GOD!!! divine!) but I wouldn't tell anyone that they MUST go.

The appetizers are definitely not recommended. They don't have an interesting choice and the two we got weren't too great. We got the Golden Triangle (Fried triangular shells with potatoes; sweet and sour chili sauce) and the Golden Fried Prawns (Battered with sweet and sour chili sauce).

Golden Triangle - basically, aloo samosas!

Golden Fried Prawns - hah! I just realised they called it prawns and not shrimp!

For the main course I ordered the Kauswe Thoke (Noodles, ground shrimp, onion, cilantro, hot pepper, garlic, and lemon juice) which was nice. Saurabh got the Kokang Chicken (Steamed breast pieces, sesame, soya, cilantro, ginger, garlic, onions, lemon juice), which I thought was the best dish of the night. Smita ordered the Chicken Curry (with potatoes) that was quite nice and home food tasting. Vishal got the Tamarind Fish (Salmon simmered in tamarind sauce, with onions, peppers and chili paste; with coriander) that I didn't enjoy too much because it was quite fishy.

Kauswe Thoke - So different from the Kauswe I make

Kokang Chicken - A MUST get!

Chicken Curry - All ready delved into

Tamarind Fish - Almost over
