I take it you haven't been to Burma / Myanmar
- itake 11mo agohaha, I have not.
- seattle_spring 11mo ago??? Burmese food is absolutely delicious. Burma Love in SF, Rangoon Bistro or Burma Joy in Portland. They're some of my favorite restaurants.
- phainopepla2 11mo agoBurmese food in the US is very different from the food you encounter in the country itself.
- izolate 11mo agoNot only is Burmese food in Myanmar far better, but even the small, modest restaurants bring out a whole spread of complimentary small dishes (pickles, salads, crunchy snacks, all kinds of delicious little sides) before the main meal. It's just built into the dining culture there, and it's incredibly generous compared to what you see abroad.

- fuzzythinker 11mo agoNot sure if it's still there, but Burma Super Star is the one I go to and it's good.
- socalgal2 11mo agoThose restaurants had none of the food I ate in Burma
- EB-Barrington 11mo agoNice. I'm an ex-tour guide, and had many jovial discussions with a colleague who toured Myanmar and LOVED the food - he knew I thought it was pretty average, at best. Of course, that crazy guy didn't really like Thai food...
- CitrusFruits 11mo agoHaving been to both Indonesia and Myanmar, I can say confidently Burmese food is much better. The one exception is the dessert Martabak you can get in Java is to die for.
