Yangon - Burlingame

The friendly server gave a great recommendation at this clean restaurant with a back patio for semi-outdoor dining. The atmosphere is casual but still tidy. I tried the Burmese pork curry, which had a unique flavor different from Indian, Thai, or Japanese curry. It was savory, flavorful, and not spicy. Although I can't say if it's authentic, it tasted delicious. The only downside was being served rice with a dry, crusty top layer as the first customer for lunch.

I can't praise Yangon enough. The food is amazing, the service is excellent, and the tea leaf salad is out of this world. The pumpkin pork stew is made fresh to order, taking about 20 minutes, but it is definitely worth the wait. I'm drooling just thinking about it. Don't just take my word for it, go check it out yourself. You won't be disappointed. (Pictured: coconut rice, pumpkin pork stew)

A small and tidy eatery at the heart of Broadway. Parking can be a bit of a chore therefore. The decor is on the more minimal side but does not detract from the mood. The staff is friendly and took our orders timely. Lunch came out at a steady pace. The food is good but could be better. The tea leaf salad was light on the greens, the flavor dominated by the fermented tea leaf and the fried garlic. More crunchy than crispy. Also had the curry with chicken, the meat was quite tender, the flavor good if not exceptional. All in all a good place for a quick lunch.

The Mongolian Chicken wreaked me for getting Chinese food anywhere else. Seriously. It was so good. Already planning a repeat and I live a freaking 1.5 hrs away.

Unique food, like geography, a mix of Thai, Indian and Chinese, but really good. Happy we went for this one!
