Bay of Burma – Vietnamese
Bay of Burma transports diners to the vibrant streets of Yangon, where the air is thick with the savory scent of simmering Mo-Hin-Gar and the irresistible aroma of golden, flaky palata hitting the griddle. Guests can dive into the satisfying crunch of a fermented tea leaf salad or share plates of spice-laden keema palata, each bite offering a complex balance of earthy, tangy, and fiery notes that define Burmese soul food. It is a place where traditional hospitality meets bold, artisanal flavors, inviting you to linger over steaming bowls of samusa soup in a space that feels both exotic and intimately familiar.
