Karthik and I love Burmese food and we each have our favorite places. We are finally getting around to sharing our favorite places with each other. My favorite is Mandalay in Silver Spring and Karthik likes Myanmar Restaurant in Falls Church so that is where we ended up there on a cold Sunday afternoon. When you walk in it feels like you have walked into someone’s home that they have transformed into a restaurant. The menu is extensive but just remember to double check about fish sauce in everything, even the vegetarian dishes
We ordered the coconut soup which normally comes with chicken but they made it with tofu for us. It’s kind of like the Burmese pho. It comes with a separate dish of egg noodles, lime wedges, and onions. It was delicious. Hearty and coconuty.
We got two tofu dishes – one was coconut crispy tofu and the other was a tomato tofu. Both were ok, a little soggy but generally good flavor. We are excited to come back and try the jackfruit curry, fried rice, paratha, etc.
