We took a stroll around the neighbourhood today and dropped in for a light lunch at a local restaurant. They tend to be buffet style- you can just go and point and it will be cooked and brought to the table -quite useful as usually nobody speaks English. Today we ordered some fried chicken, mutton curry and a few veg which get fried up. However, by the time we got back to the table it was already starting to fill up with extras, and finished up looking like this-
We weren't sure what everything was, particularly this oddity
-answers on a postcard please!
However, we reckon the best policy is not to question the provenance of dishes, but just try them- and it all tasted pretty good. Including a sort of 'amuse bouche' which, after a bit of research, I later discovered consisted of pickled tea leaves mixed with small dried prawns, fried peas, roasted sesame, fried garlic and sliced tomato- it certainly refreshes the palette.
On the way out of the restaurant we bumped into this fellah again
We will be on a coach for 10 hrs on Xmas day (tomorrow) heading up to Bagan, and will be thinking of you all tucking in to the turkey & trimmings - enjoy!
