Want to try some authentic Burmese
specialities? Run by the Thai Heaven restaurant
chain, they are working to create a new style
of eating which includes light Burmese meals and
some other delicious entrees. Burma Express has
a noticeable sign, located in the SiPing shopping
district. The seats are set around the U-shaped
bar. Though the sign suggests that this is like
other small-scale shops, you can sense the diligence
of the owner in the decorations and atmosphere
they've created. There are currently 10 entrees
priced between NT$65 and NT$95, so it's truly
affordable. --By Josie Wu, translated by Ann Lee
A. Thick Rice Noodle Stirred
with Chicken Sauce (NT$70) is made of tomatoes,
chicken, chick pea powder onion slices and thick
rice noodles. Momo chacha (NT$40) is a signature,
sweet beverage.
B. Recommended is the Rice Vermicelli
with Fish Soup (NT$70), made with slippery vermicelli
and bean crackers which the Burmese eat as crispy
snacks (when ordering to go, ask them to leave
out the bean crackers first). This dish goes down
quickly with a side order of Papaya Salad (NT$30)
or the Thousand-year-old Egg & Tomato Salad
(NT$30), which are good choices for summer. |
