    Actually, the first thing I saw — egg and okra curry.

  • kristinthiel  on  April 4, 2017

    The first thing would be the coconut rice because it is soooo delicious! I always order it when I go there 😀

  • annmartina  on  April 4, 2017

    Corn with charred onions

    The ginger salad is Awesome!!

    Samosas!

  • Joy001  on  April 4, 2017

    I love curry, so probably the coconut chicken curry

  • akrupnick  on  April 4, 2017

    I didn't realize pumpkin was featured in Burmese cooking (as it is in Afghan cooking), so I'd probably try one of the pumpkin recipes first. And then ginger juice. Can't wait to try this restaurant next time I'm in San Fran.

  • meggan  on  April 4, 2017

    Pork curry with green mango pickle looks good

  • ravensfan  on  April 4, 2017

    Samosas, pumpkin tofu curry, so many great choices! I'd love to try them.

  • mjes  on  April 4, 2017

    I'd start with the Tea Leaf Salad to compare with the Thai Yuzana Sour Pickled Tea with Chilli Salad (yes, it's a premade mix).

  • RoseMGenuine  on  April 5, 2017

    The coconut chicken soup! For sure! And I have most of the ingredients at home!

  • hippiechick1955  on  April 6, 2017

    Simple Fish Curry. I love curry so immediately I was drawn to this recipe plus I don't like too much ingredients in my curry. This recipe is just right.

  • Scrumptious  on  April 6, 2017

    Samusa Soup! I first had it there about 15 years ago and I remember I went online as soon as I got home and looked desperately for the recipe. The next time I went they told me I couldn't find a recipe for it because it had been invented in-house. I've since happily enjoyed it there for 15 years.
