Dinner there this evening. Once again, thoroughly enjoyed everything. Had a friend along, and sharing made it possible to have a few more dishes. Started with the tea leaf salad, as I can't resist it.
Leh-Phat-Thoke: Tea leaves salad. Fermented tea leaf tossed with Burmese dressing and garnished with fried fava bean, yellow bean, peanuts, sesame seed, sliced tomatoes, cabbage and lime.
Then tried two dishes I'd never had before:
Wetthar PonYe-Gyi Chat: Chunks of pork belly with "horse gram bean paste simmered in onion, garlic and ginger base curry"--kind of like a heavy Mexican mole. Quite good. And while pork belly is never lean, the amount of fat on the pork belly was reasonably modest -- but still luscious.
And Nan Gyi Thoke: Warm rice noodles with Burmese dressing, garnished with shredded chicken, green onion, curry, and cilantro. Wow, was this good.
Not quite as empty as before, but owner is still eager for more business. That said, only recommending it because it's good and I want it around for a while, not because I feel sorry for the owner. Not close by, but definitely worth the trip.
