Burma Superstar

When we finally got inside to sit down- 45 minutes after being added to the wait list at the front door - we had an exceptional experience. The servers were polite and efficient and were expert at mixing the Tea Leaf Salad (Laphet Thoke) at the table as we marveled at his skill. I then had a Burmese lamb stir fry (Kebat) with brown rice on the side. The lamb was delicious, subtly spiced without being spicy hot, though it did include large slices of tomato and no knife to cut the tomato. (Utensils provided were a fork and a spoon). I washed down the meal with a glass of Burma Ale, a hop free beer that was closer to a fruity/spicy juice with alcohol. Not beer but very tasty. Other friends dining with me had various combinations of vegan, gluten free and chicken main courses. We all cleaned our plates before heading out once more into the cold Oakland night.
