Will used to cook up steaks and porkchops and whip up smoothies which he'd reference as "superstar" creations during the good ol' days when we used to share a house together back in the ghettos of San Jose. And so, this past Friday, in celebration of Will's return from his two-month work project in Beijing, I suggested that we meet at the restaurant Burma Superstar for lunch.
We ordered Spicy Calamari with Fresh Basil (a non-fried calamari dish prepared with lemongrass, garlic, ginger, and peppers, their popular Tea Leaf Salad (a surprisingly flavorful salad prepared with imported Burmese tea leaves, tomatoes, lettuce, dried shrimp, fried garlic, sesame seeds, peanuts, and split yellow peas), Pork Curry with Potatoes (a Burma SuperStar favorite), and Nan Gyi Dok (a mild Coconut Chicken Rice Noodle Curry featuring Burmese rice noodles with a mild chicken coconut curry sauce, eggs, split yellow pea, and fried onion). The meal was delicious. Pity the restaurant doesn't offer dessert!
