| - I knew nothing about Burmese cuisine so I was pretty excited to hear that there was a Burmese restaurant in Pittsburgh. Thanks Kristina P. for putting it on my radar!
Anyway, the restaurant is not fancy and it's pretty much like any other Asian restaurant: white walls with functional, rather than decorative, tables and chairs, little to no decor. The menu looked to be a mix of Burmese, Japanese, Chinese, and Thai. There were no distinctions so we had to ask the owner which dishes were Burmese and she was incredibly helpful. We ordered the Royal Myanmar Combination Sampler to start, I got the Ohn-no Kauk Swe (Chicken noodle soup with coconut milk) and the hubby got the Coconut Chicken Curry. My favorite part of the sampler was the samosas. They were filled with a potato and onion filling which carried a slight curry flavor. They had what seemed to be a spring roll wrapper as the outer shell so it was crunchy on the outside and soft and comforting on the inside. Our entrees were very comforting and rich, making them great items to order on a cold fall or winter day. Flavors were mild too, as in not at all spicy.
Overall, I would come back to give other Burmese menu items a try!
