Burmese cuisine is a rarity around here, so the recent opening of this restaurant (April) is a welcome addition to Montreal's culinary scene. I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and while the place was busy, we were still able to get table at the back. I found the restaurant to be bright and very clean, and the tables spread out enough such that you don't end up eyeballing your neighbor's dishes. What can I say? I like my personal space!\n\nWith so many delicious items on the menu, it was tough to make a decision, but I finally went with the Northern Lights salad, which consists of 24 ingredients. Did I remember to write down those ingredients? No I did not - but I can tell you that there are four types of noodles and papaya in there. This dish was served at room temperature, which was perfect given the crazy heat wave we've been having lately. You have the option of adding meat (chicken, pork or beef) and making the dish as spicy as you like it - just let the waiter know. I really enjoyed the dish - it was very flavorful and the right level of spice for me. Can't wait to go back and try the infamous tea leaf salad!\n\nOne thing to mention - the portions are huge so you might want to consider sharing, unless you've got a very large appetite! Considering the very reasonable prices, you are definitely getting your money's worth at this place. My only 'complaint' was that the service was a little slow - but I wasn't in a hurry so no big deal.
