Here at Rangoon Restaurant, Burmese cuisine can be characterized as having a mildly spicy and very flavourful taste. Burmese cuisine uses rice and noodles as staple dishes and is usually served with a variety side dishes such as meat or fish curries, vegetables, salads, soups and condiments. Burmese cooks use locally grown fruits and vegetables to prepare meals, maximizing Havours and nutrition.
Vegetables are vital in the Burmese kitchen and are served either raw or steamed. These vegetable dishes are often flavoured with a little meat, fish or dried shrimp.
Burmese cuisine is particularly renowned for its salads, soups and curries. Rangoon Restaurant salads’ uniqueness comes from a balance of light, bright flavours and a wonderful mix of textures, their soups are made of chickpeas or other legumes, and their curries, mild to hot, are made of meat, fish or vegetables are cooked in oil with simple Havourings, and are served over rice or noodles.
One of the best meals I've had in ages. Every single dish was phenomenal. (I also tasted my friends) The fish soup was a highlight but their squash main dish was also sublime.
I went with one other person. We had all the “chef’s recommendation” items on the menu: Burmese spring rolls, green tea leaf salad, eggplant, and chicken with noodles and peanut bits. All were delicious, with contrasting and exciting flavours and textures, and the best chili-sesame condiment ever on the chicken. Oh, and the green tea leaf salad is really just the best ever version of a Caesar salad, tangy and crunchy and tasty. The owner/chef is also lovely. I’ve been here a few times now and will be coming back!
We shared all the chef's specials, and they were delicious. Nuanced flavours, deep and well structured. The dishes were varied, beautifully presented as well, and the service was kind and personal. Would go many more times.
Delicious and great smelling food! Fair prices too. The green papaya salad was peanutty goodness and the coconut noodle soup had tender chicken and a beautiful coconut flavour. I want to come back to try more!
