Given the name burma social it's a mystery why anyone would get the Indian, Chinese, or Thai dishes since such cuisines are so easily found in Singapore
Also they're quite sneaky w the salt, it's quite salty even if it's not immediately obvious. Plus the heat was quite tough on my stomach, I was having heartburn even 4hours after the meal
Food:
The rice thoke. Their dinner menu isn't working (at least for me) but if it were, it would be a menu item dead centre of the bottom section of the menu
It's rice w tomatoes basically. The freshness of the tomato is strongly expressed in this dish, through the use of other herbs. It's really delicious, the only complain is the slightly rough stickiness at the back of the throat of the rice.
Delightful, and despite what they say the two dishes I had aren't actl that similar.
A very wet and weak version of this. The flavour and the impact has probably been adjusted (we all know why, the clientele)
It's still enjoyable enough. The shrimps are too hard to be in a salad tho, it's more for cooking
Overall barely passable
They offer free Burmese tea but a review says it's caffeinated. Surprisingly their still water was free, but best to check again
Anyway the condiments were quite special. From the left, Cantonese chili oil tasted V diff from most. It's got a diff base I think, and a substantial sweetness that works to increase the power of the chili oil
The peanut and garlic mix was intensely aromatic although the flavour falls short a little. It's also mixed w a slightly spicy spice powder
The last taramind paste was interesting too. It's got aroma from the garlic and nuts, as well as chew from diced onions. This is something I've never had before, and I really liked it
Very good condiments
