My recent tryst with the Burmese cuisine motivated me to look for more. My friend and I experimented with our taste buds when we decided to visit a Burmese restaurant in Delhi. We ordered spring vegetable boas and the signature Khao suey. While the baos (steamed buns) were extremely soft with flavourful veggies, I loved the Khao Suey. The vegetarian Khao Suey was a treat to the tastebuds, served with numerous condiments like peanuts, chilli flakes, fried onions, garlic etc. Enough about the delicious flavours, I think you might be tempted by now to try some.
