What a Blow Out

Without doubt the best meal since we have been in Myanmar.  Absolutely huge portions of all dishes and with everything cooked to perfection, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at the hotel and fully intend to dine there once more before we leave on Monday.

The only minor observation is that, as with most other Asian countries, the concept of courses is lacking.

A dozen spring rolls arrived first with a spicy dip and we eagerly tucked in, but with barely a couple savoured, the two main course arrived (hot and sour pork and then sautéed fish with peppers- I think chef switched them over from our order but who cares), followed by the soup and a mountain of steamed rice.  Finally, a vat of stir fried vegetables completed our feast.

We did ourselves proud and promptly demolished the lot, taking our time to enjoy each and every dish but we had to send back a plateful of fresh fruits as we couldn't possibly have had one each.

Cantaloupe, two types of melon and the sweetest pineapple since Thailand graced the plate but it was we could do to finish it between us.
