"Texture and crunch are a throughline of the menu at Burma Choice. Take the popular tea salad as an example: Fermented green tea leaves add tangy, umami notes while a variety of seeds and nuts bring a bite. The restaurant takes a no-holds-barred approach to favorites like the fiery chili beef or the egg and okra curry. Balance the heat with an order of mango tofu and Burmese ice tea." - Christina Marie Mueller
