Walking Down The Burma Road …
Or at least eating in a restaurant called the Burma Road Restaurant. This place originally was a northern Chinese restaurant that had a huge mock tree trunk in the middle of the seating area.
I’m glad the new owners (well sorta new since this new restaurant has been around for a year now) removed that thing. It was hideous. This place was pretty cool because they served both Chinese and Burmese food. They even have an “exclusive” Chinese menu which you have to ask for separately. We mostly got stuff from the Burmese side such as the Ginger Salad (Chewy’s favorite), Lamb with Masala Curry (my favorite), Fried Rice with Boiled Vatana Beans, Spicy Pork with Pickled Mango and some other Chinese chow foon style dish that I can’t remember what it was called only because it was just OK. Wait staff was pretty friendly and even gave us a free sample of some fried tofu cake which wasn’t made of tofu but of smashed up vatana beans. It wasn’t half bad. And vatana beans are chick peas from what they tell us. Prices were pretty cheap and portion sizes were decent. We’ll probably venture over there again since there were a ton of stuff on the menu that sounded appetizing.OMG!!! IT’S FOR REAL NOW!!!
This is so much better than a Slanket.
