Sandy's Myanmar Cuisine

"Sandy’s Myanmar Cuisine closed its location in the CORE food cart pod but remains open for delivery and catering." - Paolo Bicchieri

"A restaurant that vacated its space in the CORE building, with future plans uncertain." - Dianne de Guzman

"Often considered the national dish of Myanmar, the monhinga — spelled here “mont hingar” — is a rich seafood soup with rice noodles. The version sold at this stall within the CORE food hall on Southeast 82nd suspends slices of clam and split pea fritters in a stock fragrant with lemongrass, ginger, and shallot, which plays off the sweetness of the shellfish. The bowl is piled high with the restaurant’s crunchy fried alliums and nuts, which adds a satisfying textural contrast." - Rebecca Roland, Nick Woo, Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"Inside the Collective Oregon Eateries (CORE) food hall, Mya Sandy Myint’s stall dishes up Burmese hta min (rice dishes) and thokes (salads). Specialty dishes like the lemongrass-laden fish chowder with crispy split pea fritters over rice noodles and chicken curry noodle soup are certainly worth an order, although first-time diners might opt for the build-your-own-plate option for variety. The combo comes with a side of steamed or coconut rice, two curries, and two rotating side dishes." - Alli Fodor, Nathan Williams
