  We brought some relatives here for dinner on Tuesday to experience some Burmese cuisine.

  This is my second visit since our date night here 3 years ago. It was delightful then and still is this time round overall.

  We started off with:

  -Tea Leaf Salad: great palate cleanser/starter. The earthy flavours of pickled tea leaves and crunchy mixed peas were a pleasant combination.

  Marrow Fritters: these soft and sweet melon battered strips went well the tamarind dipping sauce.

  Next up:

  -Pan Thay Kauk-Swe: whilst the flavours were nice and intense, these curry chicken noodles were a tad too rich for my liking.

  Mandalay Mout-Te: these stir fried chicken noodles faired better in my opinion. Loved that hint of acidity through it.

  And finally:

  -Chill Pork: delicious. The sauce was flavoursome with hints of fish sauce.

  Chilli squid: two thumbs up! Although we ordered this dish, knowing that the sauce will be the same as the chilli pork, it was the only squid dish they have on the menu. However, we reckon that the sauce shone more with the squid rendition.

  Shredded beef: all round favourite of the night!

  Prawn salad: a simple salad that was a nice accompaniment to the other dishes.

  Chin Paung Hin (roselle leaves with bamboo shoots): did not shine on its own, although it paired well with the meat dishes we had.

  Hot pounded shrimp paste (akin to Malaysian Sambal Belachan): this paste does require one to be accustomed to the strong smell and taste of shrimp paste to begin with, in order to appreciate it. We all are, and we loved it.

  To finish off:

  -Burmese pancake: not a favourite. Decent flavours let down by dry pancakes.

  Banana pudding: winner! Great flavour profile and texture.

  We washed all these down with a pot of Burmese tea which had a humbling aroma and an earthy note.

  Service was warm and helpful. Great night overall.
