I'd bookmarked this place as soon as I heard about it. Today we headed here after a movie for a lateish lunch.
It seemed most customers were here for their desserts (a large & impressive menu) The food menu is small in comparison, but still quite varied. There's s whole section of small plates that work well as sides or starters.
I've been itching to try the Burmese fe minted tea leaf salad for awhile, Shan state has it in the menu, but today was not a salad day- so I'll have to go back to try this dish.
We had starters of popcorn chicken - lovely, but could be complimented with a dipping sauce. The spicy pork gyoza came with a bit of flavoured soy sauce which worked well for dipping the chicken too.
Our mains included the green pork curry - loaded with crunchy veggies and the yellow chicken noodle soup - much milder and softer to eat because everything in it is so tender. We enjoyed sharing these 2 dishes and alternating the textures.
The food isn't spicy as you may expect from Asian food, but does have well blended spices, so there's loads of flavour.
Desserts were the buns with condensed milk which were very good & peanut coconut balls which are like the Japanese mochi. Sticky glutinous dumplings tossed in a coconut and crushed peanut mixture. I loved it, but the partner wasn't a fan.
Their milk teas (lychee & wintermelon) were more like thin milkshakes but very flavourful. And they had popping boba which I love.
The space is small and cosy, service was lovely and the food was very satisfying in a way that home cooked meals are.
I have to return for the tea leaf salad, but it's also worth popping into for their regular menu. read more
