Foodie Adventures

I tried Burmese food today for the first time! Delish! My aunt and uncle treated me to dinner the Burma Road Restaurant (http://www.burmaroad.biz/index.aspx) for my birthday present. My favorite dishes were ginger salad and pickled tea leaf salad. I would go back there just for those two dishes! But we also ordered the coconut noodle soup, braised whole rockfish, and chicken with basil and chili stir fried. The latter was actually a Chinese dish, as they have some Chinese cuisine on the menu. The fish was okay, but I wasn't too keen on the sauce it was braised in. The coconut soup and chicken dish were also very good. It was definitely a large meal for three, so there was a lot to take home. For dessert we had this milk/jelly/ice cream concoction which reminded me of halo-halo (a filipino dessert). Overall, I was very happy to discover this new restaurant. It was a great dining experience, which reminded me very much of Thai food, but with better salads :)
