Taste the Burmese

Published January 3, 2007 5:00am ET



A Taste of Burma is all but hidden in the far back reaches of Sterling’s Countryside Shopping Center, so you’ll have to look for it.

With about 100 dishes, the menu seems overwhelming, especially when so many of the dishes look vaguely familiar, so you can go one of three directions: order familiar dishes like pad Thai or wonton soup that are clearly not Burmese; stick with authentic dishes which are easy to identify by their names; or ask for guidance. Since there’s no point in seeking out a Burmese restaurant and not sampling the native foods, the last two options make the most sense.
