Burmese Bites. They also have a location in Midtown and a stall at Queens Night Market.

From top-left going clockwise:

  1. Tea Leaf Salad: lots of flavors and textures in this. Fresh and bright from the tomatoes and lime, yet funky and savory from the fermented tea leaves and fish sauce. The crunchy bits are also nice.

  2. Nan Gyi Thoke: thick rice noodles with tender minced chicken. It’s coated in a creamy curry sauce and topped with roasted bean powder for an additional umami taste, onion, and cilantro. Very satisfying.

  3. Keema Palata: Roti/flatbread stuffed with chicken, onion, egg, and cilantro. Love this. At Queens Night Market at least, you can see them expertly slapping and flattening down the dough onto the griddle.

  4. Ohno Kaukswe: a very comforting coconut chicken noodle soup. Familiar tasting yet unique.
