Located in a residential part of London, it is interesting to see them blend in by offering English fare as well like this other caff which serves Chinese and English.
There is a separate menu for Burmese food while the caff menu is on the board.
The Burmese menu was impressively comprehensive with three pages.
I had the tea leaf salad, mohinga noodles and Burmese tofu and black eye pea cakes.
The tea leaf salad was to my liking, it is normally spicy but I had it without chilli so I was able to appreciate it better.
It had a nice crunch with cabbage, tomatoes, fermented tea leaves, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, fava beans, etc.
You have a nice savoury taste with lots of fish sauce in it.
The mohinga noodles were fishy with blended mackerel but had no bones which was reassuring.
It was topped with lots of grassy coriander, crispy garlic slices and lentil fritters.
Also tried the Burmese tofu and black eye pea cakes which were both fried.
The tofu was interesting as it was yellow and starchy because it contains lentils in it.
Overall, I am glad I tried this place because Burmese fare is a rare find in the UK.
