Holiday memory — Shan Noodles that transported me back

I first ate Shan Noodles on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the savoury and slightly sour quality I remembered. lemongrass 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 Yangon tea shop memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. toddy palm juice was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
