Holiday memory — Danbauk that transported me back
I first ate Danbauk on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the warming with turmeric quality I remembered. dried shrimp was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.
laphet fermented tea leaf salad is a uniquely Burmese ingredient used in salads and as a stimulant snack. It was the a mohinga street stall at dawn memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. Myanmar Beer was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
