Next in line was Fish Khau Sey (INR 475), a dish that the Burmese proudly call their own. You have a choice of rice and noodles to have with boneless balls of basa fish cooked with coconut milk. Believed to have been a staple food in mountainous regions, the dish is served with all the condiments that can keep you warm: deep-fried onion, peanuts, fried noodles, roasted slices of garlic, and slices of lemon to bring that tangy taste.

If you have ever tried Thai Green Curry, this one will be a déjà vu for you.

However, Khao Suey (or Khow Suey) is not meant to be prepared the way we do in India. As the resident chef enlightens me, it is nothing but a Burmese soup with noodles in it. It generally has thinner gravy than what was served to us. “We modify the concept of Khao Suey by making the gravy thicker. That’s how we have converted a soup into a main course”, he added.

The end was sweeter than we had expected. We had settled for something less experimental – Brownie Swizzle (INR 215) - a hot brownie of an impressive size and a generous portion of vanilla. Except for the ordinary taste of the starter and coolers, the place scored decently on other parameters.
